Technical Session

themes
The conference theme Challenge Our Myths is apparent throughout the technical programme, both in our regional and technical sessions. The combination of recent high oil prices and an ever more competitive exploration scene has led to industry geoscientists continually being challenged to revisit long-held paradigms concerning the ultimate value of oil and gas assets and the prospectivity of lightly explored regions. Session topics will explore how these challenges are being met in some of the most active regions and challenging environments in the world, from the Arctic to the Sahara. New subjects of great industry interest, including unconventional resources and CO2 management, should generate interest with geoscientists of all disciplines.
