International Scientific Conference GeoShale 2012
From : 14.05.2012 Till : 16.04.2012 Location : Warsaw, Poland
Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute is organizing a scientific conference dedicated to fine grained sediments – GeoShale2012. The conference will be held in Warsaw, 14-16 May 2012. Fine grained sediments form approximately 70% of the sedimentary record. Because of the wide spectrum of the application, the great increase of the interest in shale is observed. Shales are traditionally known as a source and seal rock for the petroleum industry and has become recognized nowadays as a very important reservoir target in the shale gas/oil play. Their low permeability has also a major impact on waste storage planning, including CO2 and nuclear waste. The Palaeozoic basins in Poland have recently become the area of very intense studies of shale sequences in Europe due to their hydrocarbon potential. The topics to be covered include: Stratigraphy, Paleogeography, Shale Sedimentology, Shale Diasgenesis, Tectonics, Geochemistry, Geophysics, Exploration/Production, and Environmental aspects of shale gas E&P.
