Finding Petroleum (www.findingpetroleum.com) is a social network for people involved in pushing the boundaries to find petroleum - including geoscientists, engineers, data professionals.
We are planning a two day Conference in January. We will consider the Sub-salt plays of the South Atlantic; Onshore Rifts – in particular West Siberia and Uganda; we’ll devote a whole Forum to Iraq; we’ll hear about the West Africa Transform Margin, especially Ghana; and opportunities on the North Atlantic Margins; around the Falkland Isles; and in East Africa. And we’ll major on the technologies and ideas that can lead to exploration success.
I am a columnist for OilVoice (www.oilvoice.com) which features a global selection of oil company profiles in one location, alongside continually updated industry news, operational data and focused regional information.
OilVoice is a continually updated ‘one-stop’ guide to the upstream oil and gas sector. The publication serves as an excellent source of reference while at the same time keeping you up to date with daily news, people, focused regional information and key operational data.
