News :: Formation Evaluation Consortium Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Acclaimed by industry and peers, the Formation Evaluation Consortium celebrates 10 years of existence.

A record 110-plus industry personnel representing 23 member companies and 7 guest companies attended the 10th Anniversary Research Consortium on Formation Evaluation at the Four Seasons Hotel, Austin, August 18th-20th. The event included 6 software presentations, 24 technical presentations, and 2 vision presentations on topics ranging from new methods for petrophysical interpretation of well logs and core data to new methods for simulation and interpretation of borehole measurements.

“It was such a complete success,” noted Carlos Torres-Verdin, director and founder of the FE Consortium. “We have produced a significant number of well-cited publications and generated a continuous stream of funding of approximately 1.3 million USD per year during the last 7 years. I could not be more pleased with the participation and enthusiasm our industry and academic partners shared during our 10th Anniversary meeting.”

The success of the FE Consortium’s 10th Anniversary meeting highlights its importance in the overall scope of CPGE’s areas of technical expertise, and is commonly referred to as the top academic facility in the formation evaluation arena for over the last 7 years. CPGE wishes to congratulate Dr. Torres-Verdin, his research and administrative staff, and graduate students for achieving this important milestone.
