Overpressure 2008

Organised by: CeREES at the University of Durham
Date: 6-9 April 2008
Event Type: Conference
Venue: University of Durham
 
A conference/workshop dedicated to the challenges posed by subsurface overpressure is timely as the oil/gas industry focuses drilling on deep targets (eg Gulf of Mexico deep shelf gas) and deeper water areas.  The ability to predict the magnitude and distribution of overpressure in these regions requires understanding of geological conditions through time, and the characteristics of the sediments in which it is located.

The emphasis of the meeting will be current research, processes related to any aspect of geopressure and worldwide case studies. The programme will be designed to encourage discussion.
