Seen here is Donna Boyd (UCT), who has nearly finished her MSc after almost a year at GFZ-Potsdam, and, who presented an Inkaba poster (tryptic) at this prestigous convention

Thousands of  professionals from around the globe assembled to share the latest ideas and scientific advances related to geological and  geophysical aspects of the petroleum industry.

 

There were over 200+ exhibitors, where you find the latest technologies and more. Spread over the three and a half days, 8 (eight) concurrent oral sessions were presented.  Nearly over 450 individual oral presentations and over 500 poster presentations and displays, were presented. Said Donna:  "It is impossible to see and hear everything you like, considering these numbers and this convention, simultaneously renders opportunities to learn, network and, most importantly, to present your research to other professionals."
 

Donna was co-supervised by Zahie Anka, Rolando Di Primio, Maarten de Wit and Jeff Aldrich within Inkaba :Living Africa's Sub-Project 3.1a  - Ecosystems and Climate change Natural gas generation, migration and sequestration -  implications for greenhouse gas budgets on continental slopes, South Africa.  Her poster's running title:  Seismic Interpretation, Distribution and Numerical Modeling of Natural Gas Leakage on Block 2 of the Orange Base, Offshore South Africa.

(Announcements for the winning student presentations hasn't been made as yet.  This is the same convention where our Inkaba MSc student, Lihle Madyibi, had the Best International Student Paper during 2008 - note his story further down).
