IMAGE ’25, the premier event for geoscience professionals, will take place August 25 to 28 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. This is an opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore cutting-edge technologies, and gain invaluable insights that will shape the future of energy.

IMAGE ’25 kicks off with the dynamic Opening Session on Monday, August 25 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. This engaging session, included with your registration, will delve into the persistent challenges of exploring and developing complex reservoirs.

Over the past two decades, the industry has seen giant discoveries that push the boundaries of technical and production capabilities. Even with these advancements, difficult financial factors and the complexities of fluid and rock properties have rendered some recent giant discoveries uneconomic.

Moderated by Bob Fryklund, chief upstream strategist at S&P Global Commodity Insights, an expert panel will address these critical issues. Featuring a welcome address from American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) President Brian Horn and Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) President John Eastwood, the discussion will focus on how to better predict and develop these challenging reservoirs. The panel will also examine the crucial roles of technology, data and operations in these processes.

The distinguished panelists include:

• Chris Olson, vice president and head of exploration, Murphy
• Danielle Carpenter, general manager, Global Exploration Review Team, Chevron
• Kristian Johansen, CEO, TGS
• Ahmad Faisal Bakar, vice president (exploration) of upstream business, PETRONAS

This is a must-attend session for anyone involved in exploration and production.
