LONDON: Seventh International Petroleum Geology Conference launched

This week the Geological Society (GeolSoc), Energy Institute (EI) and Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain (PESGB) will be jointly hosting an evening reception to launch the seventh in their series of Petroleum Geology Conferences (PGCVII). Held Thursday 18 October at The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, this reception will formally launch PGCVII and issue a call for papers.  For the last 30 years, the PGC conferences have traditionally focused on the petroleum geology of northwest Europe and are widely regarded for being at the forefront of petroleum geoscience. This time the remit is truly international. At this launch reception, Bernie Vining, PGCVII Technical Chairman, and Richard Hardman, Fundraising Committee Chairman, will provide further details of the conference’s innovative programme, which will include debates on ‘Geocontroversies’, and virtual field trips to consider structural, stratigraphic, clastic and carbonate phenomena.  PGCVII will bring together the world’s petroleum geoscientists to share the scientific issues of the day from a global perspective. The deadline for abstracts is 30 May 2008, and the organisers are looking for papers under four specific regional areas:  Europe; Russia, the Former Soviet Union and the Circum Artic; North Africa and the Middle East; and Passive Margins of the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Indian Oceans.  PGCVII will be held at the QEII Conference Centre in London, 31 March – 2 April 2009.
