[OpendTect_Users] Session on Natural Gas Seepage and Focused fluid flow on continental margins

[Zahie Anka]

Dear Opendtect users and colleagues


Please allow me to draw your attention to the up-coming session on
*"Natural gas seepage and focused fluid flow on continental margins"*  (session TS5.4/  BG3.8/ SSP2.5)
that Christian Berndt, Aurelien Gay and myself will be   convening at the  next*   EGU 2011 (03 Apr  - 08 Apr 2011,Vienna,Austria  ) .*

The session aims at bringing together a wide range of geoscientists 
addressing the dynamics of natural gas seepage and focused
fluid flow in sedimentary basins and continental margins at different 
spatial and temporal scales ( _see session description below)._
Scientific exchange among  young and confirmed scientists is 
particularly encouraged.

We kindly  invite you to submit a contribution to this session.

*The deadline for Abstracts submission is 10 Jan 2011. *

    *"Natural gas seepage and focused fluid flow on continental margins"*

TS5.4/BG3.8/SSP2.5

Seabed leakage of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon through focused fluid 
flow systems is a process recognized along most continental margins. 
Studying the abundance, distribution and drivers for fluid migration is 
crucial to understand their role on a variety of phenomena such as 
submarine slope stability, gas hydrate dynamics, the global carbon 
cycle, and climate change. In addition fluid migration is of significant 
economic importance as it controls the distribution of hydrocarbon 
resources.


This session aims to bring together a wide range of geoscientists 
addressing the dynamics of natural gas seepage and focused fluid flow in 
sedimentary basins and continental margins at different spatial and 
temporal scales. We seek contributions from geophysicists, geochemists, 
structural and petroleum geologists, on identification, descriptions, 
and distribution of leakage indicators worldwide, as well as geochemical 
evidences from sampling campaigns or laboratory measurements. Studies 
yielding constraints on the controlling mechanisms are also invited. We 
also encourage submissions on modelling of the deeper hydrocarbon 
systems that may feed these fluxes and quantifications and predictions 
of volumes expelled through time.
