AETC Kenya Rift Valley and Geothermal Project Field Trip

Published
American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) welcome you to the inaugural Africa Energy and Technology Conference (AETC) in Nairobi to be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 5-7 December. This event is envisioned as a truly continent-scale African conference and exhibition held by two professional societies, with over 140,000 global members.

The Kenya Rift Valley and Geothermal Project Field Trip will be held in conjunction with the conference and will depart on the morning of the 8th December. The Kenya Rift Valley is one of the best exposed and most thoroughly studied continental rift systems in the world. It is a magmatic-rich rift, and therefore also the site of extensive volcanism and geothermal activity.

This 2 day field trip begins in Nairobi, and visits areas of the central rift valley. The goals of the trip are to experience the tectonic geomorphology of an active rift, observe some of the major shield volcanoes along the rift axis, visit a modern intra-rift lake, examine Pleistocene syn-rift fills and the dramatic sedimentary facies variability of these systems, and to visit the KenGen Olkaria geothermal site where clean renewable energy is being produced by the Kenyan government. To learn more …
