Keynote Speakers Announced for Asia Pacific Region Workshop

Advanced Petroleum Systems Analysis in the Asia Pacific Region

 

A list of keynote speakers has been announced for the Advanced Petroleum Systems Analysis in the Asia Pacific Region: New Technology and Application Geoscience Technology Workshop (GTW). The workshop will focus on advances made in petroleum systems analysis as a predictor of hydrocarbon presence, new technology and applications, and future directions of this essential geological tool.

Traditional geochemical and basin analy sis has significantly progressed in recent times and is now more about the integration of various data types and techniques towards a holistic petroleum systems analysis, rather than traditional burial history and modelling of migration pathways. 

New source rocks, mainly non-marine, have been identified in the Asia Pacific region using these integrated analyses and techniques, both onshore and offshore. Additionally, there has been a rise of primary biogenic gas, a resource in the area, and such systems require a fundamental shift in charge analysis process from the more conventional thermogenic systems.

With the abundance of new data from wells, logs, cores, seismic, and geochemical analysis, big data offers the potential to make petroleum systems analysis a better predictor of the presence of hydrocarbons.

Advanced Petroleum Systems Analysis in the Asia Pacific Region: New Technology and Application will focus on advances made in petroleum systems analysis as a predictor of hydrocarbon presence, new technology and applications, and future directions of this essential geological tool.
