Unlocking Hidden Potential: Unveiling Off-Structure Prospects and Re-Evaluating Borderline Discoveries

The evolution of hydrocarbon exploration driven by the diminishing accessibility of conventional large-size hydrocarbon traps has compelled national and international oil and gas companies to scrutinize off-structure prospects and near-field undeveloped or unsuccessful commercial discoveries, discerning root causes of their failures. Through a series of facilitated exercises and discussions, workshop attendees will learn techniques for identifying and evaluating these "off-structure" prospects - ideas, technologies, or phenomena that fall outside the mainstream.

Committee

Visiting Geoscientist Program (now VGP SIG)

The function of the Committee on Visiting Geoscientist Program was to provide college and university students worldwide a balanced picture of geosciences in the petroleum, energy minerals, and environmental industries; provide information about careers in the geosciences; present a positive image of a geoscience professional; and encourage geoscience career options for young scientists of high caliber. The VGP program is funded through the generosity of the Visiting Geoscientists, their companies, the AAPG Foundation and AAPG. In 2017 the committee became a Special Interest Group (SIG) and can be found here.
