Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG)
Characterizing Hydrocarbon Reserves in East Africa and Indian Ocean Margins Workshop
Event Details
Maputo, Mozambique
Due to the ongoing global health concerns of the COVID-19 virus, the ‘Characterizing Hydrocarbon Reserves in East Africa & Indian Ocean Margins Workshop’ is rescheduled to 19 – 20 April, 2021. We appreciate your continued support and understanding. Please do not hesitate to Anneke de Klerk at aklerk@seg.org for any further questions.
The workshop will address questions about maximizing the resource potential of the Indian Ocean basins through geoscience and the integration of multi-domain data.
Exploration activity and development investment continue to increase around the western margins of the Indian Ocean. The recent announcement of the development of major fields offshore Mozambique demonstrate the commercial potential of the region and will stimulate further effort to exploit this margin.
The Rovuma basin in Tanzania and Mozambique demonstrates world-class reserves exist in the Indian Ocean margin.
- What lessons can we learn from today’s discoveries that will further the exploration potential along the Indian Ocean Margins?
- What lessons can we learn from the characterization of these new reserves?
- What can be done to increase understanding of these reserves and improve production efficiency?
- How can geophysics help manage uncertainty during the E&P lifecycle?
- What new ways of integrating and analyzing data will enable real time decision makers to improve efficiency and optimize cost?
The goal of this workshop is to integrate findings and enable optimization of exploration and development in the western Indian Ocean to maximize E&P potential. Our aim is to share knowledge between existing operators, new players, young professionals and students.

Who should attend?
The workshop targets geoscientists, decision makers, and investors interested in developing their understanding of frontier exploration and new field development across the western margins of the Indian Ocean. Providing a forum for specialized presentations and discussions across the range of proposed workshop topics offers a unique opportunity to obtain deep insights into the opportunities, challenges, and solutions required to explore for and develop new reserves along the margin.
Workshop format
The format of the workshop will feature presentations by invited key experts who will share their experiences. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for open and extended discussions among the participants.
Eight sessions (two days). We will aim for one keynote speaker per session with a closing session at the end of the workshop to serve as the outlook going forward. The oral presentations are comprised of 20-minute talks followed by five minutes of Q&A. After each session, a 30-minute discussion session is planned. The objective of this session is to allow participants to discuss in detail and learn from each other what has worked for them and debate the issues and challenges facing them during their daily workflows. Session chairs will also serve as discussion leaders during the 30 minutes.
Poster presentations are welcome to give ample time to the delegates to discuss the poster topic with the author(s). Posters will be available for viewing in the workshop room during coffee breaks and afternoon free time following each session. Students are encouraged to submit poster presentations for the workshop.
