Short Courses
Pre-Conference • Post-Conference
The extensive Short Course Program for the Cape Town 2008 AAPG International Conference and Exhibition has been designed to cater to the needs of geoscientists ranging from students just getting to grips with the interesting world of petroleum geoscience, to those of seasoned professionals who need to acquire skills in highly specialized disciplines.
As the world’s need for energy continues to increase, it is important that geoscientists involved in exploration acquire the skills to equip themselves for the increasingly difficult search for both conventional and unconventional sources of energy. Our varied course program seeks to address this challenge and will be taught by distinguished lecturers from the USA, Canada, UK, The Netherlands and Australia.
Important Notes Regarding Short Courses

- If any of these short courses meet your needs or the needs of your professional staff, you are strongly encouraged to register early. To help us better anticipate the number of attendees and avoid premature cancellation of short courses, please register well before 12 August.
