2nd GFZ-AEON Shale Gas Workshop & Think Tank
Following the 1st successful Shale Gas Workshop in Cape Town almost two years ago (1 March 2010), we are hosting the 2nd Workshop in Port Elizabeth. Over the last two years gas shale potential has featured prominently on the conference circuit, but these gatherings have predominantly focussed on socio-political and environmental issues. In contrast the GFZ-AEON workshops are geo-technical in nature, although some socio-economic issues will be addressed also.
An expert team of German/American and South African geoscientists will lead the technical sessions. There will also be methodology workshops aimed at postgraduate students - limited industry participation is also encouraged.
