Unconventional Hydrocarbons and Emerging Fuels
A paradigm shift in the use of traditional fossil fuels is taking place, with major efforts being expended on discovering and extracting cleaner-burning, gas-based fuel. The controversial shale-gas revolution seems set for an increasingly larger role in global energy supply. Symposia and papers are invited on all aspects of the geology of shale-gas reservoirs, as well as other non-conventional fuels.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
The following symposium proposals have already been submitted:
-
Annette Goetz and Katrin Ruckwied
Shale gas basins and their resource assessment: global perspectives and challenges -
Annette Goetz and Katrin Ruckwied
Tight oil and gas reservoirs: recent developments and future challenges -
Kalachand Sain, Richard Coffin and Ingo Pecher
» Gas hydrates - a major unconventional energy resource: when will they be produced? -
Open Session
