The Evolution of Petroleum Systems Analysis: Changing of the Guard from Late Mature Experts to Peak Generating Staff

 

This Hedberg research conference will focus on the changes in petroleum systems analysis from the late 1970’s to current day. The goal of this conference will be a “passing of the torch” with an exchange of ideas from experienced specialists to young professionals.

This Hedberg research conference will focus on the changes in petroleum systems analysis from the late 1970’s to current day. The goal of this conference is to be a “passing of the torch” with an exchange of ideas from experienced specialists to young professionals. The attendees will be a mix of seasoned experts with a depth of knowledge and historical perspective, and exploration and development petroleum systems staff on the learning curve. The last 30 plus years have seen tremendous change in the methods and technology applied on the analysis and evaluation of geochemistry data and on the building and evaluation of petroleum system models. This conference will provide an open forum where the field’s pioneers will share their knowledge on the history and development of these tools and the up-and-coming petroleum systems staff will share innovative applications and new ideas.

The conference has been subdivided into 6 oral sessions (invited talks) and a poster session (open for abstract submissions). In addition, there will be keynote lectures from world experts who have pioneered petroleum geochemistry and petroleum systems modeling.
