Petroleum Geology of SE Asia

The Petroleum Geology of SE Asia Course - with selective contributions from Professor Robert Hall covering relevant aspects of the Tectonic Evolution of the region.
 
Date:  30 March to 2 April 2019
 
The generic content and outline of the Petroleum Geology of SE Asia course is described at www.pgsea.com however for the first time we have invited Professor Robert Hall to contribute to the course with various cameo's each day covering key aspects of the evolution and geology of the region. Robert is the expert on the tectonic evolution of the region having led the SE Asia Research Group for the last 25 years publishing extensively on their work and models in many scientific journals (see www.searg.rhul.ac.uk). The 4 day outline of the course in this format is summarised below. We hope this format enables students to better understand the complexity, petroleum geology and remaining potential of this fascinating region.
