Call for Abstracts

New Paragraph

The Technical Program for 2024 is designed to bring greater integration between the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), the American Association of Petroleum Geology (AAPG), and the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) members to discuss, debate, and understand potential solutions for our industry. The technical themes are designed around geographical regions to bring subsurface geoscientists together evaluating ideas and issues in specific areas and basins. There will be sessions for specific technology areas in geophysics and geology, but submitted abstracts should also consider integration and application to unlock questions in the subsurface.


Share your case studies, technological advancements, and research discoveries with the world's leading assembly of applied geophysicists, thought leaders, and technical experts from around the world. (Late submissions will not be accepted.)

Call for Abstracts is Now Closed.
Benefits of submitting abstracts for the 2024 program:
  • Global platform for sharing your knowledge, research, and ideas with other thought leaders and technical experts
  • Opportunities to collaborate and network with other presenters and conference attendees
  • Promotion of your abstract and visibility of your findings to the brightest minds in geophysics
  • Interaction with global experts, gaining feedback on current and future projects while also discovering the latest research results and advances in the geosciences sector

For questions or support with abstract submissions please contact, Jenny Cole.
