Assessment of Undiscovered Oil & Gas Resources Of The Gulf Coast Region
 

Update on Petroleum Systems Symposium
NEW LOCATION
Attention—Everyone on a Wait-List or desiring to attend
The HGS Con Ed Symposium Petroleum Systems of the Gulf Coast Region has been moved to a new location to accommodate the large number of people who want to attend this program.  The symposium will now be held at the Westchase Hilton, 9999 Westheimer, Houston, same date and time, April 24, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.
If you are one of the original 80 people who signed up to attend, all you need to do is come to the new location instead of the previous location. 
If you are currently on the Wait-List, your name will be entered as a course attendee, but you still need to go to the HGS web site and prepay to attend the course.
If you are not currently wait-listed, but want to attend the course, we have increased the number of seats to 200 with the new location, so there will probably be room.  We suggest you register immediately to ensure you have a seat, because we may sell out the new room too.
Here is the information about the program:

In an excellent series of publications, the USGS has identified petroleum systems in the Tertiary and Cretaceous-Tertiary of the Gulf Coast.  This symposium will present the yet unpublished update to the series, and provides excellent information for anyone working in the onshore Gulf of Mexico and state waters.  This is the first update of this information since 1995, and we are delighted to get the pre-release information in this seminar.
Ten USGS experts will cover details of the petroleum systems and provide an assessment of conventional oil and gas resources as well as coalbed gas resources for the Gulf Coast from Midway to Recent strata.  We are very lucky to have this program:  these folks will ONLY be here this once, as they are based in Virginia and are passing through on their way home from AAPG San Antonio.
