Seventh International Petroleum Geology Conference to be held in London


Later this month the Geological Society (GeolSoc), Energy Institute (EI) and Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain (PESGB) will be jointly hosting the seventh in their series of Petroleum Geology Conferences (PGCVII). Entitled From mature basins to new frontiers, PGCVII will be held at the QEII Conference Centre in London, 31 March – 2 April 2009.

For the last 30 years, the PGC conferences have traditionally focused on the petroleum geology of northwest Europe and are widely regarded for being at the forefront of petroleum geoscience. This time the remit is truly international. Over 100 speakers at this year’s event will present cutting edge papers on petroleum geology from around the globe, which will include debates on ‘Geocontroversies’, and virtual field trips to consider structural, stratigraphic, clastic and carbonate phenomena.

PGCVII will bring together the world’s petroleum geoscientists to share the scientific issues of the day from a global perspective. For further information, please visit www.geolsoc.org.uk/pgc7
