Hydrocarbon Microseepage: Recent Advances, New Applications, and Remaining Challenges

 

The past two decades have seen not only a continued interest in the topic of hydrocarbon microseepage, but have resulted in ongoing development of new and novel exploration technologies and applications.

This research conference to be held June 18-20, 2019 in Houston, Texas, brings together experts from industry, academia and government to review the state of knowledge of hydrocarbon microseepage. Conveners for this conference are Dr. Dietmar (Deet) Schumacher and Dr. Gary K. Rice.

The past two decades have seen not only a continued interest in the topic of hydrocarbon microseepage, but have resulted in ongoing development of new and novel exploration technologies and applications. These have led to improved integration of geochemistry with geology, geophysics, and remote sensing, and have resulted in more efficient exploration and development strategies.

We hope to bring together 70-90 international experts from industry, academia, and government to review the state of knowledge of hydrocarbon microseepage in light of the new body of data and insights gained in the past two decades and current research directions.
