The abstract submission deadline will be in late spring .
This year’s ICE will be held Nov. 15-18 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – AAPG’s first return there since the record-setting conference in 1998 – with a technical program built on the theme “Broader, Further, Deeper.”
The Associacao Brasileira de Geologos de Petroleo is the host society, and Haroldo Lima, director general of Brazil’s ANP (National Petroleum Agency) is the general chair.
Organizers are planning a program that includes 400 oral and poster sessions, more than two dozen short courses, field trips, forums, core workshops/displays and special sessions.
Appropriately, the conference will focus largely on offshore activities while also including sessions that cover upstream areas.
Primary themes are:
- Regional Geology, Paleogeography and Tectonics.
- Technology Application to E&P Environmental Solutions.
- Stratigraphy – Clastics and Carbonates.
- Reservoir Characterization – Outcrop Analogs, Surface and Subsurface Integration in Reservoirs, Reservoir Diagenesis, EOR and Field Development Studies, Fault Networks and Fractured Reservoirs.
- Structure – Traps and Seals.
