WELCOME

Knowledge sharing and learning from both success and failure cases are key to increasing process understanding and exploration success, essential requirements for finding, developing, and producing oil and gas resources. In the context of the current global energy challenges, Petroleum Systems Assessments must continue to play a central role in delivering new discoveries needed to meet the energy demand. In addition, the technical understanding and integrated nature of this discipline make it one of the core capabilities required to facilitate the energy transition. To achieve these goals, the petroleum systems analyst must extract greater depths of information from the wealth of data obtained from decades of exploration, while continuing to develop novel approaches to interrogate samples or models with greater specificity and precision. 

This workshop will present a variety of multidisciplinary petroleum system case studies and examples including integration of geochemical, geological and geophysical workflows, and will be highly relevant to both petroleum system analysts and exploration geoscientists. The broad span of topics to be presented includes, but is not limited to:

1. Petroleum Systems Analysis for Play and Prospect Evaluations, including Source Rock and Migration Case Studies.
2. Contaminants (CO2, H2S, Mercury) Prediction.
3. Geophysical Methods and New Technologies for Imaging and Improved Understanding of Petroleum System Components.
4. High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Plays.
5. The use of Modelling Tools in Source Rock and Reservoir Prediction.
6. Reservoir Geo-dynamics; e.g. Filling History, Mixed Charge Identification & Reservoir Processes.
