UT Bureau of Economic Geology Industry Day April 11

  
The UT Bureau of Economic Geology is hosting Industry Day 2014 on Friday, April 11.

The theme for this year’s event is “Discovering the Bureau: Energy, Economics, and the Environment.” Industry Day 2014 will highlight the Bureau’s unique position among research institutions as an investigator of such key research areas as unconventional oil and gas exploration and production; energy economics; salt tectonics; natural fractures and structural diagenesis; subsurface micro- and nano-sensing; reservoir characterization in carbonates, mudrocks, and sandstones; carbon storage in geological reservoirs; and the increasingly important water-energy nexus. In addition, the event will feature one of the world’s preeminent archives of well cores and cuttings.

Industry Day 2014 is targeted primarily to current and potential industry partners in the fields of conventional and unconventional energy production, and of environmental concern. The exposition is intended to increase understanding of Bureau research goals and objectives and to encourage further collaboration with our industry partners. Bureau Director Scott W. Tinker will deliver the keynote presentation, and we will welcome Scott Anderson of the Environmental Defense Fund and Peter Duncan of MicroSeismic for talks of interest. Students will also be spotlighted, presenting posters and summaries of their research studies.

We’ll be sending you formal registration information in the next few weeks, but please circle April 11 on your calendar.  Please feel free to let your interested colleagues know about our event and how to register.
