Location: The Royal National Hotel, London (Please note venue change)
Speakers: Neil Hodgson and Karyna Rodriguez (Searcher) 

Here’s an excerpt from the abstract: 

The Orange Basin offshore Namibia and South Africa has been a canvass for generations of explorers to push the limits of technology and patience. Explorers have painted their hydrocarbon stories on a beguiling fishnet catwalk – a tangle of red herrings and misleading models. It is in this extensional basin that a series of recent geoscience innovations have been accelerated to high energy to understand new ways of putting hydrocarbon system particles together; appreciation of deep water clastic sediments being mixed contourites – turbidite systems, tools to map and observe source rocks – an AVO based approach, observations on fluid flow indicators, revelations on geotherms from wells and BSR’s, thermal blanketing and Seismic Thermometry, rift-drift and SDR to Morb transitions and counter regional dip mega-trap creation and a new way of thinking about sediment stability (Dynamic Topography).
