GEO-India 2008 Conference Announcement

28 November 2007, 9:34am

India’s petroleum future

Over the last few years the Indian Government has been taking steps to encourage the
increased production of hydrocarbons, both on and offshore.

Dozens of blocks have been made available right across the country and it’s clear that there is now a great deal of exploration and geoscience activity to be carried out. The short term objective will be to obtain expertise and equipment from outside the region to assist the geoscientists already in India. The long term objective is to ensure that India’s oil and gas professionals are themselves at the forefront of the latest developments to secure India’s petroleum future.

Message from the Conference Organisers APG and AAPG are delighted to be able to announce GEO India 2008. By focusing on this event we will provide the geoscience community in India with an opportunity to meet, share knowledge and exchange ideas. The APG have in the past run their own event – APG, which focused on issues within India. AAPG have many years of experience at running events of this kind all around the world. By working together we
will be able to bring our understanding of the Indian and Global geoscience communities together for the benefit of all.
