For the 7th time Saint Petersburg is going to host leading scientists and experts from Russia and across the globe. In the course of in-depth professional discussions participants will tackle major issues of energy, raw materials and economics brought together by the common theme ‘Understanding the Harmony of the Earth’s Resources through Integration of Geosciences’.

The 2016 event will be marked by a unique environment in the petroleum industry embracing the shale revolution alongside the dramatic decline in oil prices. How will the modern geosciences meet the challenge? What will be the reaction of related sciences and industries? What actions are regulators taking?

The objective of the Organizational Committee is to assist participants in getting the utmost benefit of the event through arranging and supporting a wide spectrum of events like focused scientific sessions, practical workshops and short courses by leading researchers.

I am positive that the favourable environment of a most beautiful city in Russia and the world will provide inspiration for the participants to find new common points and join efforts to continue discovering the Earth’s subsoil.

Join us in this unique experience! We look forward to welcoming professionals in various areas of specialization – geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, mathematicians, economists. You are in for interesting meetings, unforgettable impressions and positive emotions!
