program overview

The conference will feature a three day exhibition and four days of technical presentations, plus an opening panel discussion on 'Peak Oil'. The panel will be moderated by Professor Lyn Beazley (WA Chief Scientist) and keynote speakers will include Dr Bruce Robinson (ASPO) and Mr AbdullahAl Naim (VP Exploration, Saudi Aramco).

The conference theme 'exploration & beyond' invites discussion on the philosophies, technologies and practices that will lead to exploration and production success.

The response to the call for papers has been so outstanding and the quality so high, that presentations in the petroleum stream will continue on the fourth day of the conference, which traditionally has been minerals / near surface papers.

Pre and post conference workshops presented by selected industry leaders, will provide an opportunity for intensive applied learning in limited attendance sessions.

In addition to the extensive technical program, the social program will provide an opportunity for your organisation to develop additional contacts and reinforce your position and profile within the industry.

The official closing ceremony will be held at the end of the third day when the exhibition closes, although the technical sessions will continue throughout Thursday.

A detailed program will be available online shortly.
