World's oil and gas experts in South Australia
Tuesday, 3 December 2002
The University of 亚洲色吧's international reputation as a hotbed of petroleum research will be further boosted this week with a major conference being held in the Barossa Valley.
Eighty-five of the world's top oil and gas researchers are attending the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Hedberg Conference, which focuses on the latest research on how best to find and develop oil and gas resources. The AAPG is the world's largest petroleum geoscience organisation, with 30,000 members worldwide.
One of the convenors of the conference is the University of 亚洲色吧's Professor John Kaldi, who is director of the National Centre for Petroleum Geology and Geophysics (NCPGG) at the University.
Professor Kaldi says hosting the conference is a great honour for the State as it is the first one ever in Australia and only the second ever in the Asia Pacific region," he says.
"The idea behind Hedberg conferences is that they are 'brainstorming'- type meetings, where world leaders in the field can discuss state-of- the-art concepts, methodologies, case histories and future directions. </
