Hedberg Research Conferences

From time to time the AAPG Research Committee selects a topic for critical examination. They will invite scientists from various disciplines (geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, etc.) to discuss state-of-the-art concepts, methodologies, case histories, and future directions relating to this subject. The conference are held in informal settings with a maximum of 80-100 attendees.

Past Hedbergs

Hedberg
Reno, Nevada
Sunday, 23 June Thursday, 27 June 2013, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

This conference provided an opportunity for bridging the gap between industry, academia, cognitive researchers and software vendors, and for enhancement of E&P interpretation strategies and tools, critical skill development, and supporting training methods and resources.

American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)
Hedberg
Beijing, China
Sunday, 21 April Wednesday, 24 April 2013, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

The conference started with a broad general thematic session to capture thoughts from leading scientists on the nature and character of the global Lower Paleozoic and Precambrian petroleum systems, similarities and general problems. This was followed by sessions dealing with the fundamental elements of petroleum systems in Australia, North America, North Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia, and the uniqueness of these older systems, and conclude with a session on the technology advances and needs, and with a session on selected case studies.
