WELCOME

Dear RCP Sponsors,

We welcome you to the 2026 Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) Spring Meeting taking place on April 27^th and 28^th in Golden, Colorado, and online. RCP has entered its 42^nd year and is one of the largest energy-industry consortia committed to expanding the understanding of traditional oil and gas reservoirs. Further, RCP strives to adapt to the growing need for energy and sustainable solutions. Due to this, our research program focuses on three main research directions:

Conventional reservoir characterization and monitoring
Unconventional reservoirs and hydraulic fracture investigations
Low-carbon strategy-related subsurface characterization

One of the defining strengths of RCP is our field-data-driven research, which sets us apart from other academic consortia and enables us to deliver practical solutions for real-world challenges – what works and what does not work on field data!

Our two-day meeting will be packed with presentations, updates, and discussions on our latest research endeavors:

On Day 1, we will start by going over our Permian Basin Fasken Ranch Integrated project. We are transitioning from geology and geophysics to build the play understanding to engineering and well optimization.
On Day 2, we will review our work in Advanced Seismic Imaging and how full-waveform inversion can help obtain more reliable reservoir properties for exploration and production. We will also cover our work in fracture characterization and sustainable energy strategies.

All this work is covered in detail in this report, and we look forward to engaging in discussions. Your contributions make our research possible, and we are committed to providing significant value to your organizations. Thank you for your continued partnership in these dynamic times.

Sincerely,

Drs. Ge Jin and Ali Tura

RCP Consortium Co-directors
