AAPG 2012 ICE

Technical Program & Registration Announcement Highlights All events take place at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center unless otherwise noted.
AAPG Past President Scott W. Tinker, Director of the Bureau of Economic Geology, professor of geosciences, and renowned energy lecturer, is the onscreen guide at the center of a film that embarks on a round-the-world journey to answer this and related questions: If coal is dirty, why do we keep using it? Can we really clean it up? Will oil get more expensive? Will it run out? How quickly will we adopt alternatives, and which ones? How risky is hydraulic fracturing? How dangerous is nuclear? What are the biggest challenges and most promising solutions to our energy transition? What role does each of us play? Tinker goes inside the worlds premiere energy sites from coal to solar, oil to biofuels and talks to leaders in government, industry and academia to explore the world of energy like no documentary has ever done before.

Speakers: Arild Jrstad, Exploration Geoscientist, Lundin Fred Wehr, Exploration and Development Manager, Apache Bernard Duval, Associate Professor, IFP School Lawrence D. (Trey) Meckel, III, Exploration Manager & Chief Geologist, Tately N.V. Sam Algar, VP Asia Pacific Exploration, New Ventures & Global Portfolio, Murphy Oil As technology advances and a new wave of young geoscientists enter our profession, we see continued interest in forums such as this as a way to mentor future discoverers. Professor Charles Hutchison Memorial Sessions (AAPG/AP Region) Date: Wednesday, 19 September Time: 08:55-12:20 13:55-17:20 Location: Heliconia Main Ballroom, 3401A/B/2/3 Fee: Included with registration Co-Chairs: C. Morley and R. Hall Charles Hutchison died on 18 October 2011 after a long career in Southeast Asian geology. He was widely known in industry and academia for his many contributions to teaching and research from the mid1950s until his death. He taught in the Department of Geology of the University of Malaya, first in Singapore and later in Kuala Lumpur, as a staff member and Head of Department, until his official retirement, but he continued to teach and research during his very active retirement. His work was recognized by the university by an appointment as an Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow. During his retirement he also contributed to teaching at the University of Brunei Darussalam and Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. Charles was active in many other areas of geology. He was a founding member of the Geological Society of Malaysia, and was rarely absent from their regular meetings. He served with SEATAR (Studies in East Asian Tectonics and Resources) and CCOP (Committee for Co-ordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas). He wrote and edited several books on Southeast Asian geology which remain essential reading for anyone working in the region, and he was a fount of wisdom, stories and reminiscences for numerous visitors to the university and to Malaysia. He will be greatly missed. To recognize his many and varied contributions to our knowledge of the region there will be two special oral sessions with a theme of BorneoSundaland.
10
The sessions are: Theme 2: Charles Hutchison Memorial Session Southeast Asia Regional Tectonics Theme 2: Charles Hutchison Memorial Session Tectonics of Borneo In addition, a special issue of the Journal of Asian Earth Sciences is planned which will be dedicated to Charles. The theme for this issue is very broad and will include papers on granites, petrology and geochemistry, regional geology, stratigraphy and tectonics, geology of the Malay Peninsula and Borneo to list just a few of Charles interests.

Luncheons
AAPG/DPA Featured Speaker Luncheon The Global Energy Transition Date: Monday, 17 September Time: 12:3013:45 Fee: US $60 Speaker: Scott W. Tinker, Director of the Bureau of Economic Geology and the State Geologist of Texas Join AAPG Past President Scott W. Tinker for this dynamic presentation on The Global Energy Transition: What Will it Take to Make the Switch? Energy impacts every aspect of our lives yet energy remains a vast and complex subject. Based on personal visits to many of the worlds leading energy sites and conversations with top industry, academic and government leaders, Tinker looks inside the complex world of energy and provides a realistic and balanced view of energy supply, demand, efficiency, infrastructure, and scale. All major forms of energy will be considered. We will make several discoveries together, some anticipated and others unexpected, and in so doing attempt to simplify and unravel the global energy transition. Energy, the economy and the environment are intimately linked. Energy choices are based largely on cost. Oil and coal are abundant at the right price, and difficult to replace as transportation and electricity fuels. Renewables are regional supplements, but will remain such until major advances are made in energy storage. Natural gas and nuclear are the foundational energies of this century. Energy efficiency is underappreciated; individual behavior matters! Energy security should be the goal of energy policy. The scale of energy demand is difficult to comprehend; energy supply transitions take many decades. Energy Minerals Division (EMD) and Division of Environmental Geology (DEG) Luncheon Water Well Problems in Areas of Unconventional Resource Development: Appearances are Deceiving and Solutions are Many Date: Tuesday, 18 September Time: 12:30-13:45 Fee: US $70 Speaker: John V. Fontana, President and CEO, Vista GeoScience, Golden, Colorado, USA John V. Fontana is a professional geologist and licensed water well driller with over 25 years of experience in environmental investigation and remediation services, and resource exploration geochemistry. Fontana has pioneered and successfully integrated unique sampling methods and tools that support the various environmental business services provided by Vista GeoScience, including technologies designed for 1) specialized soil gas and ground water sampling and 2) in situ bio and chemical remediation. He has supervised environmental characterizations and remediation projects at major governmental and industrial sites across the U.S. as well as in other countries. Because of the growing concerns about water well-related issues in areas of unconventional petroleum development, this talk is indeed timely. Although hydrogeologists generally believe that some of the hysteria regarding water supplies and water quality are
Conference participants will also have the opportunity to see the new feature-length movie Switch, where Tinker serves as the onscreen guide at the center of the film. See page 9 for details. Tinker is the Director of the Bureau of Economic Geology, the State Geologist of Texas, the director of the Advanced Energy Consortium, a Professor holding the Allday Endowed Chair and acting Associate Dean of Research in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Scott spent 17 years in the upstream oil and gas industry prior to coming to UT in 2000. Scott is past President of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (20082009) and the Association of American State Geologists (20062007) and current president of the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies.

unwarranted, given the existence of naturally occurring contamination and other documented water well problems, public outcries continue, especially where drilling and hydrofracturing is in or near population centers. Fontana will discuss some of the issues that are front and center in the development of unconventional resources. He will also present some proven methods designed to assist resource developers in documenting pre-existing conditions so that complaints can be effectively addressed, as well as outline how operators can protect themselves from potential legal actions. These best practices can be applied to all types of unconventional plays including shale (gas and oil), tight sands, coal bed methane, and in situ uranium mining.

Short Courses
Pre-Conference Short Course 1 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) The Petroleum Geology of Southeast Asia Dates: Thursday, 13 SeptemberSunday, 16 September Time: 09:0017:00 Instructor: Ian Longley (Longshot Oil & Gas Pty Ltd, Perth, WA, Australia) Fee: Professionals/Students US $2,750 Includes: Course notes (CD), morning and afternoon refreshments, lunch and dinner (one evening) Limit: 35 people The main objectives of this course are: Make participants familiar with the overall geotectonic development of Southeast Asia Acquaint students with the geology of the major hydrocarbon occurrences (and of the significant minor ones) Make students aware of the major sources of information in the region Enhance students ability to do independent work in the regional geology of Southeast Asia Southeast Asian basins share a common tectonic history and consequently display similar stratigraphic patterns, trap styles and hydrocarbon charge systems. The arbitrary political divisions and local stratigraphic nomenclature schemes tend to mask the geological simplicity of the region. A better understanding of the regional geology plays and exploration concepts established in some basins allows the explorer to apply these in unproven or less explored analogous basins in the region. This course is ideally suited for: Junior geoscientists who are new to the exploration industry in the region Senior national staff geologists who wish to broaden their understanding of plays in adjacent countries New expatriates transferring into the region for the first time Participants should have a basic understanding of both petroleum geology (theory and application, i.e., petroleum systems, plate tectonics, etc.) and modern hydrocarbon exploration methods (i.e., seismic and drilling technologies, etc.) Notes: Course notes will be provided on CD. No hard copies of the course notes will be provided. Participants are requested to bring a laptop to this short course. Overnight accommodations are not included. Pre-Conference Short Course 2 Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) Sequence Stratigraphy and Depositional Architecture for Graduate Students Date: Saturday, 15 September Time: 08:0017:00 Instructor: Maarten Weimer (Sarawak Shell Berhad, Lutong, Malaysia) Fee: Graduate Students Only US $25 Includes: SEPM Student Membership and refreshments Limit: 25 people Content: 16 PDH; 1.6 CEU This course is designed to teach young geologists/graduates about stratigraphic geometries as well as linked patterns of sand distribution in space and time. This course makes use of outcrop data and subsurface derived data such as seismic, log and core and consists of a mix of lectures and hands-on exercises. The dataset is focused on Northwest Borneo, but not exclusively so. Course contents include basic seismic/sequence stratigraphy ground rules and will discuss stratigraphic geometries in terms of accommodation space changes. The interplay of stratigraphic geometries and structural deformation is a key theme. Patterns of sand distribution and their controls in different clastic depositional settings such as Deltaic, Alluvial and Deep Water will be discussed.

This course is ideally suited for: E&P professionals involved in the prediction or delineation of clastic reservoirs Professionals early in their career Experienced professionals new to working with clastic reservoirs The role of a subsurface geoscientist in any oil company is to find and/or develop commercial hydrocarbon reserves. To find those reserves, we must know where to find the reservoir. To develop those reserves, we must know how to delineate the reservoir. The purpose of this course is to help you understand the various clastic reservoir systems. You will learn how to find and delineate them by giving you a mental picture of how these systems look so you may see them in your minds eye. This will be accomplished through a wide variety of correlation and mapping problems, all of which are based on real exploration and field development examples. Modern and outcrop analogs will be used, along with subsurface examples to provide the interpreter with a sound understanding of the reservoir distribution, both laterally and vertically, of the clastic depositional systems most commonly encountered as oil and gas reservoirs. The exercises in this course are designed to give you a strong working knowledge of the many depositional settings you are likely to encounter in your career. They are aimed at helping you to learn how to recognize them from well logs, and how to map them. The learning outcomes are: Understanding the basics of correlating well logs in clastic sequences utilizing shale and resistivity markers, interval thickness, sequence stacking patterns and cross-sections Review the fundamental controls that influence clastic depositional systems Understanding of the reservoir distribution and stacking pattern of braided, meandering, anastomosing, and entrenched river systems

Includes: Limit: Course notes, morning and afternoon refreshments and lunch 30 people This course is ideally suited for: Geologists Reservoir engineers and managers involved in hydrocarbon exploration development or CO2 sequestration These professionals will benefit from the straightforward and intuitive presentation of principles governing both petroleum and CO2 migration and accumulations, as well as practical applications to determine net pay and seal evaluation. This course demonstrates the use of basic rock properties, wireline logs, capillary pressure and relative permeability data to evaluate reservoir rock quality, seal capacity (thickness of hydrocarbon or CO2 column a seal can hold before it leaks), recovery efficiency and to determine location of reservoir fluid contacts. It also explains the main controls on fault seals, and methods used in evaluating these. This popular course has been presented previously as AAPG, IPA and PESA Continuing Education Short Course, as well as comprising part of the internal training program for several major oil and gas companies. The course content covers the following: Basic Principles of Capillary Pressure Discussion of uses of capillary principles in reservoir evaluation; fundamentals of capillarity: buoyancy vs. capillary pressure; wettability; contact angles; derivation of capillary pressure equations; definition of Free Water Level; description of the capillary pressure apparatus. Exercise 1: Use of capillary pressure data to determine Sw at various heights above the Free Water Level/subsurface depths Exercise 2: The scenario is a large structure has been identified by seismic and a well is drilled at the crest. Task is to use given rock properties, structure and capillary pressure data to evaluate reservoir quality of encountered rock types, locate fluid contacts and establish saturations with depth. This data will also be used to determine seal capacity, and based on this capacity determine depths at which each rock type becomes pay. Caprock (Top Seal) Evaluation Review concepts of sealing vs. leaking in cap rocks and intraformational seals. Use case histories to demonstrate application of integrated petrophysical and geochemical
The morning session will provide an overview of the reserves and resource definitions and guidelines for classification; primarily focused on the globally recognized PRMS. Key differences between the use of SEC and PRMS definitions will also be highlighted. The key techniques that are used to estimate reserves and resources will be presented, including their applicability over the value chain of a project. An overview of methods used to quantify and describe uncertainty, e.g. probabilistic and deterministic, will be discussed. Unconventional resources will be the focus of the afternoon session. Gaffney Cline & Associates will provide an overview of how conventional resource estimation and uncertainty techniques can be applied to unconventional resources the pitfalls associated with such application to demonstrate the appropriate risks. The objectives of this course are: Provide an understanding of key definitions and guidelines and the relationship between reserves and resources Discuss the handling of uncertainty, including deterministic and probabilistic methodologies Discuss the applicability of techniques to unconventional resources similarities, pitfalls, and lessons to date Post-Conference Short Course 7 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Evaluating Reservoir Quality, Seal Potential and Net Pay Dates: Thursday, 20 SeptemberFriday, 21 September Time: 08:3017:00 Instructor: Prof. John Kaldi, Australian School of Petroleum, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia) Fee: Professionals US $800 Students US $400 (limited) Includes: Course notes, morning and afternoon refreshments and lunch Limit: 30 people

Field Trips
Pre-Conference Field Trip 1 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Langkawi Geopark, Malaysia Dates: Thursday, 13 September, 08:00 Sunday, 16 September, 17:00 Leaders: Dr. Lee Chai Peng (University of Malaya, retired, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and Bill Lodwick (Consultant, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) Fee: Professionals US $950 Students US $475 (limited) Includes: Local transportation, three nights lodging based on double occupancy, meals, guidebook, entrance to Geopark and Cable Car, Mangrove Swamp Tour Excludes: Travel to/from Langkawi, Malaysia, visa/immigration charges Limit: 35 people This trip brings you to the beautiful duty-free tourist island of Langkawi that has been declared as a member of the UNESCO global Network of National Geoparks in June 2007. There are over 90 interesting geosites in the 99 islands within the geopark, with the most interesting and accessible sites located in or near to the main island. The most complete Palaeozoic sequence in this region is exposed here. It includes the Cambro-ordovician shallow marine clastic Machinchang Formation accessible by cable car, fossiliferous limestones of the Ordovician-Silurian Setul Formation, Gondwana-derived glacial-marine pebbly mudstones of the Carboniferous-Permian Singa Formation and Permian Chuping Limestone. These sedimentary rocks had been intruded by Triassic and Cretaceous granites metamorphosing parts of them. Spectacular island karst, beautiful beaches with interesting geomorphological features, tropical jungle and friendly villagers with lots of interesting local legends will make your visit worthwhile. Notes: The weather is expected to be the usual sunny and humid tropical climate with occasional thunderstorms. There is easy access and short walks to most localities. Relatively safe with no dangerous climbing or visits to active quarries and mines. Beware of traffic when examining road-cuts and stepping on slippery rocks along coast. Lifejackets will be provided for the Mangrove Tour. Pre-Conference Field Trip 2 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Singapore Geothermal Excursion Dates: Saturday, 15 September, 08:00 18:00 Leader: Grahame Olivier (National University of Singapore, SIngapore) Fee: Professionals US $175 Students US $88 (limited) Includes: Ground transportation, refreshments, lunch Limit: 30 people The excursion will visit Lower and Middle Triassic granite and gabbro quarries where the reservoir characteristics of an engineered underground heat exchanger (EGS) can be debated. The same quarries are good analogues for the Cuu Long (Vietnam) type granite basement high petroleum reservoirs. On Sentosa Island, the hydrogeological characteristics of the non-marine facies of the Upper Triassic/Lower Jurassic Jurong Formation will be examined with respect to its potential as a hot sedimentary aquifer (HSA). The Jurong Formation was deposited in a half-graben, analogous to petroleum-rich Tertiary half-grabens in the Malay Basin. At the Sembawang Hot Spring (70 degrees Celsius), TOUGH-2 computer simulated hydrogeology models for Singapore will be presented along with the case for three geothermal prospects. Notes: There will be some walking along a jungle track including a 300m coastal section with slippery rocks and tidal pools involving some scrambling. Bring insect repellent. Sturdy walking boots with good grip are required, ankle high boots are recommended but not required. Flip-flops and sandals cannot be worn at the outcrop sections. Unstable rock faces in coastal cliffs and quarries will be viewed from a distance. The weather will be hot (30 degrees Celsius) and humid, with rain and thunder showers possible at any time. A small umbrella is recommended. Protection from the sun hat and sunscreen is an absolute necessity. Participants should keep hydrated and drink plenty of soft drinks/water which will be available during the day. Lunch will be taken in a local restaurant. No hammers please.

Post-Conference Field Trip 3 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Sedimentation and Stratigraphy of the Modern and Ancient Mahakam Delta, Kutai Basin, East Kalimantan Dates: Wednesday, 19 September, 16:00 Monday, 24 September, 17:00 Leader: Angus Ferguson (Niko Resources, Jakarta, Indonesia) Fee: Professionals/Students US $1,800 Includes: Local transportation, five nights lodging based on double occupancy, meals, guidebook Excludes: Travel to/from Jakarta, Indonesia, visa/immigration charges Limit: 17 people The six day field trip will examine the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the modern and ancient Mahakam Delta. The outcrop examples are equivalent in geological facies to the reservoir rocks in the nearby producing fields. Primary objectives: The Mahakam Trip is designed as a fit for purpose trip to take a multidisciplinary group out to the field to look at outcrops and modern depositional systems and their relationship to developing a field. Some topics to be discussed in the field: identifying different depositional environments in deltaic deposits control of depositional environments on resulting reservoir geometry correlation methodology in deltaic deposits reservoir properties changes laterally and vertically reservoir limits and production impact Special attributes of the field trip are: Observe the modern Mahakam Delta depositional environments with a focus on sand body geometry, thickness and potential reservoir quality for the upper and lower delta plain and the delta front depositional environment. Understand the data required to properly interpret the depositional processes and depositional environments in the subsurface. Observe the interpreted equivalent depositional environments in nearby Miocene-age rock outcrops. Enhance team discussions on the similarities and differences in the depositional environments for the modern and ancient Mahakam Delta and the application of these models to the specific reservoirs encountered by the field trip participants. Consider the realistic expectations of exploration and development methods in finding and producing hydrocarbons from these reservoirs. Major considerations will be the successful use of seismic for reservoir resolution and the use of horizontal drilling considering the lateral variability in sand geometry and reservoir characteristics. Medical Tropical climates provide a host of dangers. Simple common sense is of course the best preventive. Malaria is prevalent in East Kalimantan but in major population centers such as Balikpapan and Samarinda it is rare. Some field areas may pose a danger but the application of mosquito repellent, particularly in the evenings, should enable visitors to remain safe. We will be back in the town areas before dark. The sun provides a much more real danger and visitors should bring a hat and sun block cream. Sunburn is particularly dangerous in the day spent on the Mahakam delta and at the outcrops where there is very little shade available. Every participant needs to constantly drink water to prevent dehydration and resulting fatigue on the outcrops. Safety around the outcrops There will be a discussion of the safety concerns at each outcrop. Be aware of loose rocks and slippery slopes and do not stand near any areas where there is a potential of falling rocks. Hard hats will be available and need to be worn by participants at Outcrop 3. Observe your fellow participants and warn them of any potential hazardous situations. Ankle covering field boots with a firm sole are required on the outcrops. The boots do not need to be steel toed. Although snakes have not been encountered on previous field trips they are present in the nearby undeveloped land areas. Lifejackets will be provided while on the boats on the Mahakam Delta. Equipment Basic personal field equipment such as hand lens, field notebook, scrapping knife and geological compass are recommended.

Field Trips
A limited number of this basic equipment will be available on a sharing basis, but participants are urged to bring their own. Other suggested field gear are appropriate clothes and boots for field outcrop examination, hat, mosquito repellent, sun block and basic first aid kit including band aids and antiseptic. The day on the delta will have a walk in the mud and wading in the water to the mouth bar. A pair of old running shoes works best. Shorts are not recommended due to the possible presence of jellyfish on the delta. Post-Conference Field Trip 4 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Deltaic and Shallow Marine Reservoir Sandstones of Northwest Borneo Dates: Thursday, 20 September, 08:00 Sunday, 23 September, 17:00 Leaders: Joe Lambiase (Chulalongkorn Univeristy, Bangkok, Thailand) and Howard Johnson (Imperial College, London, United Kingdom) Fee: Professionals/Students US $1,600 Includes: Transportation from Brunei to Labuan, three nights lodging based on double occupancy, meals and refreshments, guidebook Excludes: Travel to Brunei/from Labuan, Malaysia, visa/ immigration charges Limit: 20 people Northwest Borneo is well-known as one of Southeast Asias oldest and most prolific petroleum provinces with billions of barrels of production in the nearly 100 years since the initial discoveries. Despite this illustrious history, prediction of reservoir properties and sand body geometries remains difficult because the depositional setting of the sandstones that store the hydrocarbons is not as well understood as may be expected. This, in turn, is at least partly due to the fact that classical facies and sequence stratigraphic models do not work well in Northwest Borneos tectonic, hydrodynamic and climatic environment. The objective of the field trip is to give participants an overview of the reservoir sandstones of Northwest Borneo. The focus will be recent concepts about Northwest Borneos depositional systems and stratigraphic development as they relate to the prediction of reservoir properties and sand body geometry. The field trip will start in Brunei, visit the Miri-Lambir Hills region of northern Sarawak in Malaysia and conclude on it the island of Labuan. Notes: Hotels are 4- to 5-star standard. There will be some walking required but no difficult terrain to be negotiated. Shoes with good grip (NO sandals or open footwear) are required but boots are not necessary. Northwest Borneo will be warm and humid, with rain showers possible at any time. Protection from the sun hat and sunscreen is an absolute necessity. Participants are strongly reminded of the need to keep hydrated and drink plenty of soft drinks/water which will be available during the day. Geological hammers are strongly discouraged, and are forbidden in some parts of the National Parks. Post-Conference Field Trip 5 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Modern Carbonate Depositional Systems Pulau Seribu, Indonesia Dates: Thursday, 20 September, 08:00 Sunday, 23 September, 17:00 Leader: Clif Jordan (Consultant, Integrated Data Services, Bonne Terre, Missouri, USA) Fee: Professionals/Students US $1,450 Includes: Local transportation, three nights lodging based on double occupancy, meals, guidebook Excludes: Travel to/from Jakarta, Indonesia, visa/immigration charges Limit: 20 people Modern reefs such as those at Kepulauan Seribu offer excellent comparisons with Miocene reef deposits in Southeast Asia. Similarities exist in their regional settings (size, shape, water depths, and windward versus leeward sides), lithofacies types and textures, and biotic components (particularly large foraminifera, red algae, and corals). Analyses of over 300 bottom samples provide an excellent data set for modern lithofacies mapping in this patch reef complex. This field trip is based on the Principle of Uniformitarianism (the present is the key to the past) and offers modern explanations for features observed in the subsurface. It is a most enjoyable way to learn about reef, near-reef, and lagoonal facies in a Holocene setting.

Post-Conference Field Trip 6 South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) The Petroleum System of the Tertiary Rift Basin of Western Indonesia An Outcrop Expose Dates: Thursday, 20 September, 08:00 Monday, 24 September, 17:00 Leaders: Chris Atkinson (Worldwide Petroleum Services, Singapore), Peter Butterworth (BP, Cairo, Egypt), Andrew Carnell (Shell, Cairo, Egypt) Fee: Professionals/Students US $1,400 Includes: Local transportation, four nights lodging based on double occupancy, meals, guidebook Excludes: Travel to/from Padang, Indonesia, visa/immigration charges Limit: 20 people It is the intent to show participants over the course of the trip, various aspects of the syn- and early post-rift petroleum geology of Central Sumatra along with some modern day lacustrine systems to compare to the Palaeogene lake depocentres of the region. The field trip gives the participants the opportunity to see some outstanding outcrop geology in rarely visited scenically attractive areas of Sumatra. Participants will be able to study in detail a thick exposure of lacustrine source rock (the Brown Shale), together with fabulous exposures of fluvial channel sandstones, which in the subsurface comprise highly productive reservoirs. Finally there will be the opportunity to study recent lacustrine systems amid the magnificent scenery of the Barisan Mountains. Rift basin evolution is a key component of the petroleum systems of many Southeast Asian Basins. Syn-rift lacustrine mudstones are prolific oil prone source rocks and syn-rift and early postrift clastic sediments can provide excellent reservoir intervals. Rift petroleum systems are, however, geologically complex and hydrocarbon exploration within them requires a greater knowledge of the structures and Sedimentological evolution of the basin than is often the case elsewhere. Local factors such as provenance and rift-related tectonic activity can have a significant impact on the quality, quantity and distribution of source, reservoir and seal. Central Sumatra is the most prolific hydrocarbon basin in the region. Most of the acreage is operated under production sharing terms by Caltex Pacific Indonesia, who currently account for about half of Indonesian oil production. Hydrocarbons are mostly produced from the post-rift Sihapas Group reservoirs and are sourced from the syn-rift Brown Shale. However, the focus of exploration has increasingly targeted the syn- and early post-rift section which, despite the long history of hydrocarbon exploration in the area, is still today an underexplored play. The itinerary is structured such that each day will deal with a different aspect of the syn- to early post-rift petroleum system. Notes: There will be minor walking required but no difficult terrain to be negotiated. Shoes with good grip are required but boots are not necessary. The weather will be warm and humid, with rain showers possible at any time. Protection from the sun hat and sunscreen is an absolute necessity. Participants are strongly reminded of the need to keep hydrated and drink plenty of soft drinks/water which will be available during the day. Geological hammers are discouraged.

Technical Program & Registration Announcement About Singapore

Climate Singapore is known for its hot and humid weather, with little variation throughout the year. The average daytime temperature is 31 C (88 F), dropping to around 24 C (75 F) in the evenings. Currency The currency used in Singapore is the Singapore dollar (S$). Money changing services can be found at the Singapore Changi Airport and most shopping centres and hotels around the island. Language The four official languages in Singapores constitution are English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. English and Mandarin are the most commonly used languages in daily life. While English is the main language taught in schools, children also learn their mother tongues to ensure that they stay in touch with their traditional roots. The presence of other languages, especially the varieties of Malay and Chinese, has obviously had an influence on the type of English that is used in Singapore. The influence is especially apparent in informal English, an Englishbased creole that is commonly known as Singlish. Not recognized in the world as a formal language, Singlish is definitely essential when travelling around Singapore. It is a unique blend of English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil and local dialects. Besides the typical lah which punctuates most sentences used by the locals, here is a quick guide of phrases that you may encounter and use most often: Oh, izzit?: Thats interesting. / Oh, is that true? Dohwan: No, thanks. / I dont want it. So how?: So what do we do now? Alamak!: A general expression of dismay or incredulity. Can can!: Yes, definitely. Lai dat also can?: Is that acceptable? (No) Smoking Besides air-conditioned areas such as shopping centres, restaurants, entertainment outlets and cinemas, smoking is also an offense on the SMRT (Singapore Mass Rapid Transit system), public buses, taxis and in lifts. Recently, the smoking ban has also been imposed on public eateries and within a five-metre radius from most building entrances, except for allocated smoking areas that are clearly marked with bright yellow paint. A maximum fine of S$1,000 may be imposed on first-time offenders. Sightseeing Here is a partial list of Singapores mustsee destinations: Singapore Flyer Marina Bays Sands Skypark Universal Studios Singapore Chinatown and Chinese Heritage Museum Raffles Hotel Singapore Botanic Gardens Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo Little India For more information visit www.mysingapore.com. Shopping Marina Bay Located in the Central South district, Marina Bay is known for its breezy promenade strolls, entertainment venues, wide open spaces and lofty hotels, shopping and offices. Visitors can enjoy ease and comfort moving around Marina Bay at street level, above or underground. Sheltered sidewalks, covered walkways, underground and secondstory links ensure all-weather protection and seamless connectivity between developments and MRT stations. Suntec City Mall The largest shopping mall in Singapore, Suntec City is divided into four thematic zones Galleria, Tropics, Entertainment Centre and Fountain Terrace housing over 400 retail outlets, over 50 pushcarts and over 100 food and beverage establishments, including Singapores largest hypermarket, Carrefour of France. Orchard Mall Similar to Londons Oxford Street or Hong Kongs Tshimshatsui, this bustling boulevard got its name after the nutmeg and pepper plantations that once lined it in the 1800s. The mall is flanked on both sides by local and international department stores, tiny boutiques, offices, spas, beauty salons, hotels, entertainment spots, restaurants and cafes. There is always some kind of fair or activity taking place in the malls and centres so there is never a dull moment.
