PETEX is the largest subsurface-focussed global conference and exhibition in the UK.

This celebrated event will return in 2021, hosted at the iconic Business Design Centre where the conference and exhibition floor space has been increased to enhance all aspects of the event. Complementing the technical conference, the exhibition space will feature industry operators, service companies, national oil companies, financial companies, and professional organisations.

With a technical programme primed to discuss the latest global activity in exploration, field development, reservoir management and unconventional exploitation, and numerous opportunities for networking, PETEX's audience reflects its high quality, technical conference content.

Canadian Global Energy Forum invites you to participate in a hybrid event "Taking Canada's Energy Sector to the World." This event is a culmination of the Global Opportunities Program, a series of reports focusing on innovation and ideas for Canadian oil and gas companies considering investing internationally and to showcase Canadian exportable expertise.

This one-day event is presented both in-person and virtually. If you are double-vaccinated, we invite you to participate in person. If you are not vaccinated or have a medical exemption, we invite you to take part virtually.

EAGE is proud to announce that the Technical Programme for the 82nd EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition is live now on our website!

Make sure to check out all the sessions and presentations taking place, and register today with the Early Bird Fee to save on your attendance at EAGE's most anticipated event this year!

It is not long now before the 82nd EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam. We are increasingly confident that the conditions prevailing by the dates of the event (18-21 October) will allow us to hold the meeting with in-person attendance. Vaccination programmes worldwide and other measures continue to have a very positive impact on reducing the spread of Covid-19.

This annual event is celebrating its 20th anniversary! The PESGB/HGS are pleased to announce that the 20th Africa E&P Conference 2021 will be an online/virtual event, making it more accessible to a wider, more inclusive audience across the African continent and beyond.

Over the past two decades, the E&P conference and exhibition has earned itself an outstanding reputation for excellence, delivering high-quality technical content each year on activities in Africa. Opening up to a bigger audience will showcase good practice and celebrate talent in the industry.

Although the format is different, one thing will remain the same, PESGB/HGS will deliver its signature programme of high-quality technical presentations covering E&P across the diverse regions of Africa. Sessions will include the latest activities in prospecting, lessons learned from recent exploration results, plus new data on field and reservoir Geosciences. The 2021 format will also unveil novel subsurface studies from ‘the transition’ that our business is undergoing.

In addition to the virtual conference on 14 & 15 September, we will be hosting the Africa 2021 Live Event at PETEX on Thursday 25 November 2021 at the Business Design Centre, London. This event will give you the opportunity to engage with your colleagues and friends in-person! Visit the Live Event Info pages on the main menu bar to find out more.

We looking forward to welcoming you to these events in 2021.

Canada and at least 72 other nations have committed to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Achieving that will require replacing the C-based energy carriers that currently fuel the global economy (i.e. gasoline, diesel, natural gas etc) with zero emission alternatives (e.g. electricity, hydrogen), produced with little or no emissions. While this might sound threatening to Alberta, the province is international renown as one of the lowest cost producers of low carbon ‘blue’ hydrogen (i.e. hydrogen produced from fossil fuels but with the CO2 byproduct captured and geological stored). In this presentation, I will discuss the magnitude of the opportunity and the possible transition pathway to a Canada hydrogen economy, led by Alberta.

This 1ST CSEG Virtual Learning Series (DLS) features seven strategic noon hour talks spread over 2 weeks. The objective is to provide a learning series focused on applied geoscience and the innovation occurring in the geosciences in Canada. 

The oil and gas industry has once again found itself moving toward a low cost, efficient and sustainable future. As such, existing workflows have to be modernized by incorporating innovative ideas, new technologies have to show improved efficiency and every application has to resolve a particular social, environmental and economic problem. So, each speaker will address one particular major topic under development in Canada today.

Data quality improvements through innovations in seismic acquisition and reinterpretation of legacy seismic data are a couple of examples that will be covered showing how costs can be optimized while enhancing data quality and value of the interpretation.

Quantitative interpretation to provide deeper insight into subsurface reservoirs, machine learning application and adopting an integrated work flow for field development will show how new applications and repurposing old techniques with new perspective can solve modern petroleum exploration problems and impact business decisions.

Game-changing technologies within the hydrocarbon energy sector, as well as various innovative ideas in development as part of Canada’s energy transition will be discussed.

This virtual learning series invites anyone interested to learn about current innovative workflows, applications and technologies within the oil and gas industry. Participants will also gain insight into energy transition concepts.

A unique one-day event helping Canadian Companies Navigate International Opportunities

The 2020 Canadian Global Exploration Forum’s Annual Conference is a premier E&P event that connects international E&P companies, governments, service providers, legal firms, consultancies and financiers, with new business opportunities across exciting new geographies and frontiers.

The International Division has provided a forum to members and guests interested in the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the world since 1985. We offer monthly free brown-bag lunchtime workshops and special social events. It starts at noon with a 5 minute introduction, followed by a 10 minute “Rock Shot” warm-up and the 30 minute main presentation, which leaves the last 15 minutes for networking. Upcoming events are detailed below.

The “Rocks Shots” could be anything interesting and should be light. In the past we have had travelogues, world cultural heritage relationships between geology and beverages, and quick geoscience knowledge. The main technical presentation should cover geoscientific and/or broadly oil and gas related topics.

Non-members can register through the CSPG site- here is the link: https://cspg.org/Shared_Content/Events/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=20TDINTL08&WebsiteKey=972ac35d-32b2-4b7b-b8a1-4e3d318a51b3

In the upstream oil and gas business, NAPE stands alone as the biggest, best and most respected venue for networking with your peers and making deals. NAPE sets the trends and helps forecast what's coming next for the industry. If you compete in the upstream oil and gas business, NAPE offers you an unparalleled opportunity to meet decision makers in an environment that is fun, energetic and, most of all, serious about getting business done.

Gussow 2019 Conference

New Directions in Geoscience for Unconventional Resources: 
living at the interface between geochemistry, geomechanics and engineering

Location: Banff Park Lodge, Banff, Canada
Dates:  October 15th – 17th, 2019 

Overview:

Our growing understanding of unconventional plays demonstrates the need for new or improved methods and concepts to account for multiscale distribution of rock and fluid properties in these highly heterogeneous and complex systems. In recent years, these challenges sparked tremendous developments and innovations in geoscience disciplines as well as a better integration between them. Gussow 2019 will aim at gathering high profile international geoscience experts to share their knowledge about cutting edge research and recent developments in geoscience disciplines and their application to optimizing production from unconventional resources.

Technical Sessions:

1) Diagenetic controls of reservoir quality in tight rocks
2) Origin and impact of organic matter in unconventional reservoirs
3) The role of structure in unconventional plays
4) Geological controls and impact of fluid distribution in resource plays
5) Bridging geoscience with engineering and economics
