New and EmergingPlays in the EasternMediterranean23 - 25 February 2011The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London

Registration now openRecent exploration success in the Eastern Mediterranean offshore has highlighted the enormouspetroleum potential of this region. Significant discoveries offshore Egypt, Libya and Israel haveopened new basins and new plays for petroleum exploration, particularly in deep water. New seismicdata, the results of the recent and upcoming exploration wells and licence activity offshore Lebanon,Cyprus, Libya, Tunisia and Italy will all redefine the hydrocarbon potential of this emerging region in the near future.

This conference will discuss new ideas on the tectonic evolution of the region, basin formation, new plays, petroleum systems, and the linkage between the onshore and the offshore. It will provide a common platform for sharing information and results between industry and academia.

Basins covered: Levant, offshore Nile, Herodotus, offshore Cyrenaica, offshore Sirt, Pelagian, Malta, Sicily Channel, Adriatic, and others.
