François Gelin is an Organic Geochemistry Expert at TotalEnergies. Since joining the company in 2008, he has held various technical and leadership positions, including R&D Project Manager for unconventional ressources and Deputy Head of the Fluids and Organic Geochemistry Department. Previously, he worked at Shell on exploration geochemistry, charge modeling, flow assurance, production allocation, reservoir connectivity, and well integrity studies. He holds a Chemical Engineering degree from Paris and a PhD in Earth Sciences from Utrecht University.

Copilot said: Consulting Geologist at Eneva and Ph.D. in Geosciences from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), with 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, working in onshore and offshore sedimentary basins in Brazil and internationally (South America, Africa, and Asia). Specialized in regional basin analysis, exploration risk assessment, and evaluation of hydrocarbon potential, with extensive experience in petroleum systems numerical modeling integrated with exploration evaluation workflows.

CEO of Migris AS from 2005 to present. M.Sc. in petroleum exploration at NTH Trondheim 1975-1981. Dr. philos in 2004 at NTNU, Trondheim. Worked at Statoil from 1981-1985. worked at IKU Petroleum Reseach (later Sintef Petroleum Research) 1985-2005 including Basin modelling Section manager 1995-1997 and Research Director Basin Modelling Department from 1997-2000. Main fields of expertise include Basin modelling and hydrocarbon migration modelling of oil and gas.

Sabra Al Shaqsi is a Basin Modeler Geochemist at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), with nine years of experience in basin modeling and petroleum geochemistry. Since joining PDO in 2017, she has worked extensively on basin modeling across North and South Oman, integrating basin modeling and geochemical insights with exploration workflows to improve petroleum systems understanding and de-risk hydrocarbon charge. Her technical expertise includes basin modeling, petroleum systems analysis, hydrocarbon generation and migration, and petroleum geochemistry. She has been actively involved in developing and updating the North and South Oman basin models, integrating multidisciplinary datasets and workflows to improve the understanding of hydrocarbon charge and exploration risk. Her work has contributed to establishing a working and updated basin model covering the entire Block 6. Sabra holds a BSc in Geoscience from the German University of Technology in Oman, obtained in 2016, and an MSc in Petroleum Geoscience for Exploration from the University of Manchester, obtained in 2017. Her professional interests focus on applying innovative basin modeling, geochemistry, and digital technologies to enhance petroleum systems understanding and support exploration decision-making
