3P Abstract Deadline

The call for abstracts deadline is approaching fast for AAPG’s second Polar Petroleum Potential Conference and Exhibition – or simply, “3P Arctic” – which will be held Aug. 30-Sept. 2 at the World Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The abstract submission deadline is Feb. 15.

The 3P technical program will consist of 15-20 sessions – including 150-160 oral presentations and more than 150 posters – that will cover all aspects of the geology, petroleum geology and geophysics of the Arctic and Circum-Arctic sedimentary basins.

Proposed topical themes include:

♦ Appraisal of Arctic Petroleum Resources.

♦ North Atlantic Conjugate Margins and the Arctic Connection.

♦ Cenozoic Uplift of Arctic Margins and Implications for Petroleum Potential.

♦ Evolving Tectonic Interpretations and Models – Including Insights from New Seismic and Potential Fields Data.

♦ Arctic Petroleum Systems.

♦ The Ellesmerian Orogeny and Basement Rocks of the Western Arctic.

♦ Northern Cordilleran-Brooks Range Connection.

♦ Evolving and Innovative Technologies for Arctic Operations.

♦ Geophysical Innovations for Arctic Data Collection, Processing and Interpretation.

♦ Fundamental Geology and Geologic Maps of the Arctic.

♦ Impacts of Climate Variability on Arctic Petroleum Potential and Operations.

♦ Arctic Unconventional Resources.

Also being planned are two field trips and a series of workshops-short courses.
