Geological Society Conference: «New and Emerging Plays in the Eastern Mediterranean» (London, 23-25 February 2011)
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - Friday, February 25, 2011
The Geological Society is organizing a Conference on «New and Emerging Plays in the Eastern Mediterranean» in London on 23-25 February 2011.
Recent exploration success in the Eastern Mediterranean
offshore has highlighted the enormous petroleum potential of this region. Significant
discoveries offshore Egypt, Libya and Israel have opened new basins and new
plays for petroleum exploration, particularly in deep water. New seismic data,
the results of the recent and upcoming exploration wells and licence activity
offshore Lebanon, Cyprus, Libya, Tunisia and Italy will all redefine the
hydrocarbon potential of this emerging region in the near future.
This conference will discuss new ideas on the tectonic evolution of the region,
basin formation, new plays, petroleum systems, and the linkage between the
onshore and the offshore. It will provide a common platform for sharing
information and results between industry and academia.
Basins covered: Levant, offshore Nile, Herodotus, offshore Cyrenaica, offshore
Sirt, Pelagian, Malta, Sicily Channel, Adriatic, and others.
