Exploration and oil and gas development issues to be discussed at scientific-practical conference “Geomodel 2017”

European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) invites to participate in the 19-th scientific-practical conference on the oil and gas exploration and development “Geomodel 2017”. The event is traditionally held on 11-14 September in Gelendzhik. During the conference several specialized sessions will be held simultaneously to consider both theoretical and practical problems of oil and gasexploration, prospecting, and development. The average number of participants of the “Geomodel” conference is 200-300 leading practitioners and scholars, representing about 100 companies and universitiesfrom Russia and abroad. The conference program will feature more than 100 oral and poster presentations, in addition, leading companies will present the latest innovation software and technologies applied in the oil and gas industry. Chairman of the Program Committee of the conferenceis Yuri Ampilov, Professor of Moscow State University named after Lomonosov, Chairman of the Section of Exploration Geophysics of RAS Scientific Council on the problems of Physics of the Earth, Honoured Scientist of Russia.

 The conference will include:

• Oral and poster presentations

• Lecture course

• Commercial presentations of software and technologies

• Field geology workshop

• Travelling bookstore EAGE

Topics of scientific sessions are:
