Hello!
There will be a conference and exhibition on Petroleum Geoscience industry in Malaysia in April next year.
The Petroleum Geoscience Conference and Exhibition 2012 (PGCE 2012) details are as follow:
Date: 23rd-24th April 2012 (Teaching Weeks, no holidays)
Student fee: RM100.00
Venue: Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC)
The Petroleum Geoscience Conference & Exhibition
2012 (PGCE 2012) is one of the largest geoscience
events in South East Asia.
It was started more
than 30 years ago by the Geological Society of
Malaysia (GSM). In 2005 PETRONAS joined the
organization of the event, taking it to the next
level.
The two-day programme for 2012 includes a large
conference, short courses, technical exhibition,
student programme and field trips presenting the
latest developments in geophysics, geology and
reservoir engineering.
In 2011 almost 1,800 visitors from countries all over the world attended the event
There will be field trips that we can look forward to:
Wednesday, 25 April 2012 - Thursday, 26 April 2012
Geological Field Trip of the Palaeozoic Limestone of Kinta Valley
Field Trip Leader: Professor Dr. Bernard J. Pierson
Shell Chair in Petroleum Geosciences, Head of SEACARL (South-East Asia Carbonate Research Laboratory), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP)
Wednesday, 25 April 2012 - Friday, 27 April 2012
Sedimentary Geology of Nyalau Formation (Early-Middle Miocene), Sawarak Basin
Lithofacies, Stratigraphic Surfaces and Depositional Sequences: Implications on Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production.
Field Trip Leader: Dr. Abdul Hadi Abd. Rahman (Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS) & Dr. Mazlan Hj Madon (PETRONAS)
Wednesday, 25 April 2012 - Friday, 27 April 2012
Study of Fractured Metasedimentary and Granite Outcrops, Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia: An Analogue for Fracture Basement Exploration in Malay Basin
Field Trip Leader: Dr. Narender Pendkar (PETRONAS Carigali) & Mr. Mohd. B. Kadir (PETRONAS Carigali)
The field trips are very interesting and surely bring tonnes of benefits to us. They will be held straight after the conference.
Students can look forward to a special tailored first day programme with talks and the PGCE 2012 Geo-Quiz!
More information will be available soon.
It is an event organised by Geological Society of Malaysia (GSM) with Petronas.
Curtin students probably cannot go as we will be having classes.
However,
Important: If many of you are interested (or at least 'feel like going'), do tell CGC by commenting your name below so that we have the numbers of people and at least do something about it.
