REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
It is generally recognised that unconventional gas resources will make up a major part of our future energy needs. In recent years there has been a marked increase in interest in these resources from industry and especially amongst the major western oil and gas companies. Many of the technical issues surrounding unconventional gas plays revolve around the complex engineering solutions required to commercially exploit them. The aim of this conference however is to specifically address the geoscience issues related to their exploration and exploitation.
Presentations will be made on the following themes:
- Overviews of Unconventional Gas Plays
- Shale Gas
- Tight Gas Reservoirs
- Coalbed Methane
- Gas Hydrates
Within each theme will include talks that address any relevant geoscience issue, such as petroleum system analysis, reservoir geology, geophysical evaluation, structural geology and fracture prediction as well as case studies on particular plays, basins or fields.
We aim to bring together key figures in industry and academia active in both established unconventional gas plays of North America and emerging plays of Europe, plus other plays around the globe. The following speakers have agreed to deliver keynote talks:
- Richard Chuchla (ExxonMobil) - A Global Perspective
- Ken Chew (IHS & Morenish Mews, UK) - European Unconventional Gas Plays
- Prof. Terry Engelder (Penn. State Univ.) - Shale Gas
- Prof. Dan Jarvie (Texas C.U./IFP) - Shale Gas
- Prof. Brian Horsfield (GFZ Potsdam) - Shale Gas
- Steve Cumella (Bill Barrett Corp.) - Tight Gas Sandstones
- Andrew R. Scott (Altuda Energy Corporation) - Coal Bed Methane
- Tim Collett (USGS) - Gas Hydrates
- Prof. Graham Westbrook (Univ. Birmingham) - Gas Hydrates
