Field Seminars

AAPG GTWs deliver up-to-date technical content to AAPG members and the industry. Their venues address “How are we doing it now?” through an examination of the latest practices illustrated with field case studies and examples. Their overriding focus is on the sharing of information among individuals knowledgeable in a topic in a highly interactive environment.

Attendees, practitioners and scientists have an opportunity to discuss real cases, issues, and experiences. The AAPG Geosciences Technology Workshops follow two tracks for discussion: research and application.

Field Seminar
Madrid, Spain
Saturday, 4 November Sunday, 5 November 2023, 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.

This field trip will take place in the Serranía de Cuenca region (east-central Spain) and focuses on the observation of two mid-Cretaceous outcrop sections (Pajaroncillo and Reíllo) that describe an along-strike relative position. Both outcrops are located in the Western Tethys palaeocoast of the Iberian Basin.

Forums

AAPG Forum's goal is to maximize knowledge transfer by encouraging lively interaction and thoughtful consideration of experts' findings, experience, and insights. Practicing experts provide in-depth presentations on topics that have immediate bearing on success in exploration, development, and operations.

Short Courses

AAPG short courses offer a wealth of information in a short period of time. They are an effective and efficient way to learn about the industry. With so many to choose from, there’s something for everyone.

Short Course
Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Sunday, 3 December 2023, 7:45 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

Pre-Workshop Short Course Date: 3 December 2023 Instructor: Camilo A. Polo, Saudi Aramco Registration: $150 Per Person Registration Deadline: 29 October There will be an option to register for the short course during the workshop registration process. Please ensure you register before the deadline. Trace Fossils and the Oil & Gas Industry Sedimentological and trace fossils analysis is commonly incorporated in any high-quality sedimentological study. With the increasingly challenging task to find hydrocarbons, some of the applications of trace-fossils in petroleum exploration and reservoir characterization include: The ichnological model of brackish-water settings; The integration of ichnology with sedimentology and genetic stratigraphy: The detailed characterization of shoreface, delta, bay and estuary deposits. More recently, ichnological analysis has been applied to reservoir characterization in both, aquifer and hydrocarbon reservoirs. This deals with the fluid-flow modifications due to biogenically induced heterogeneities in the reservoir, and “reservoir ichnology” constitutes a growing field among industry geoscientists. Objectives Familiarize attendees with trace fossil observations, including their identification and their relationship to physical sedimentary processes. Integrate ichnological and sedimentological observations in order to depict paleoecological parameters such as: Salinity fluctuations Food resources Optimal oxygenation Sedimentation rates in depositional environments Showcase several ways where ichnological analysis aid in the understanding and refinement of depositional environments. Preliminary Schedule Time/Date Sunday 3 December 7:45-8:00 Introduction & Ice breaker 8:00-9:30 Trace fossil concepts; Ichnofossil Classification; Bioturbation Assessments 9:45-10:45 Coffee Break* 11:00-11:30 Trace fossil assemblages: Ichnofacies & Depositional Environments 11:30-12:45 Lunch Break 12:45-14:00 Sedimentary Processes & Paleoecological Parameters depicted from Ichnological datasets 14:00-14:15 Coffee Break* 14:15-15:30 Some Case Studies and Applications (outcrop & core examples) Instructor's Bio Camilo Polo Camilo is a clastic sedimentologist at Saudi Aramco. He holds a MSc and a PhD University of Alberta, Canada; as part of the Ichnology Research Group (IRG) under the co-supervision of Dr. George Pemberton (RIP) and Dr. Murray Gingras. Camilo specializes in the applications of trace fossils in petroleum exploration and reservoir characterization. His industry- and academic-related interest focus in trace fossil fauna across the Arabian Plate. Camilo is known for his enthusiastic approach to trace fossils through his mentorship, and active collaboration with other colleagues across the industry and the academy. li ol{margin-bottom: 0;} .list-with-images.events-listings .text .h5 a{padding: 0}

Geosciences Technology Workshops

AAPG Geosciences Technology Workshops (GTWs) deliver up-to-date technical content to AAPG members and the industry. Their agendas address the question “How are we doing it now?” through an examination of the latest practices as illustrated with case studies and field examples. The focus is on the sharing of information among knowledgeable individuals in a highly-interactive environment.

Attendees, practitioners and scientists have an opportunity to discuss real cases, issues, and experiences. GTWs follow two tracks for discussion: research and application. Joint workshops are produced in cooperation with other societies, expanding their scope to an even broader spectrum of participants and geoscience topics.

Workshop
Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Monday, 4 December Wednesday, 6 December 2023, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

The fifth annual AAPG Siliciclastic Reservoirs of the Middle East Workshop will take place in Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia from 4-6 December 2023. This workshop will bring together professionals from the region to share their knowledge and experience related to siliciclastic reservoirs and showcase the best success stories in the industry on understanding and utilizing oil and gas siliciclastic reservoirs in the region.
