There is plenty to see and learn at the conference and in the exhibition hall, and the PGS team will be delighted to share with you our latest projects, programs, and innovations.
Lunch & Learn
Enjoy a light lunch with PGS and learn about recent developments in an informal environment. Contact marketing@pgs.com or ask our booth staff at the event if you are interested in attending either of these sessions.
On Monday join Scott Opdyke for lunch and examine
Brazil – A Review of Play Types and Basins
Scott will address the Equatorial Margin in the Ceara and Potiguar basins and the associated play types. Additional east coast basins on the way south to the prolific Santos and Campos basins and their associated play types will also be presented. The upcoming bid rounds and acreage will be highlighted throughout the talk, in particular the exciting Permanent Offer Blocks.
On Tuesday join Matt Pyett for lunch and explore
Frontier Basins in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
Matt presents the Eastern Mediterranean, a prolific hydrocarbon province with numerous offshore producing fields and discoveries. The recent giant Zohr discovery (30 Tcf) has been a game changer for this area. Learn more about the huge potential in the remaining untested frontier basins.
