You are invited to prepare a poster display for presentation. If you are interested in participating, please send a short abstract to [email protected] by 30 September 2025. All posters will be produced as pull-up banners and delivered by AAPG. There will not be any other format available for poster display.
Poster Abstract Template
The AAPG/EAGE Petroleum Systems of the Middle East, 2nd Edition workshop will gather industry experts, academics, and practitioners to address critical challenges and showcase innovative solutions for unlocking the energy potential within both conventional and unconventional plays in petroleum systems of the Middle East. This workshop will explore the region’s unique geological complexities and provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge ideas and practices in petroleum systems. It will focus on key challenges in reservoir characterization, hydrocarbon migration, and trap integrity. Particular attention will be given to overcoming limitations encountered in tight reservoirs, fractured carbonates, and deep-basin Paleozoic plays-areas, where traditional exploration methods often less effective. Through case studies and advanced geochemical and basin modeling techniques, participants will gain valuable insights into breakthrough approaches for exploration and production in these complex systems.
For the first time in the Middle East, this workshop will introduce the role of petroleum systems analysis in supporting the decarbonization of energy. This includes the assessment of natural hydrogen potential where petroleum systems provide a promising framework for assessing key hydrogen geochemical indicators and modeling hydrogen migration. Basin-wide thermal and flow modeling can also be applied to the assessment of geothermal potential and to the sequestration of CO2 in aquifers.
In addition, the workshop will highlight the transformative impact of digital technologies on petroleum system modeling, showcasing how AI, machine learning, and advanced digital analytics are enhancing subsurface evaluation by improving accuracy, efficiency, and predictive capabilities.
Key Sessions and Topics:
Through these sessions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how Middle Eastern energy resources can be developed sustainably, while advancing technological innovation and ensuring a responsible approach to energy exploration. This workshop will serve as a forum for knowledge sharing and collaboration, paving the way for an efficient and sustainable future in energy development.
