7th Petroleum Geology Conference

This is the seventh conference in the series that has become a tradition, known as the 'Barbican' conferences.  They started life over 33 years ago in 1974, with a focus solely on North West Europe, and have a reputation both from the conferences and the proceeding volumes for being at the forefront of petroleum geoscience; the standard reference for successive generations of petroleum geoscientists.

North West Europe has matured as a petroleum province and, at the same time, the Petroleum Geology Conference has matured into a truly global event.  PGC VII will embrace the majority of the world's petroleum provinces:-

• Europe
• Russia & Circum Arctic
• North Africa & Middle East
• Passive Margins

The conference will also incorporate the following sessions:-

• Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources
• Geo Controversies
• Virtual Field Trip
• Core Workshop
