The 2008 Core Conference Committee is pleased to announce the list of 21 core displays, which can be characterized by their variety and scope. Reflecting the theme of this year’s Convention, Back to Exploration, these displays flow from Conventional Plays, (Clastics & Carbonates) to Unconventional Exploration Heavy Oil, Tight Gas and Shale Gas), with displays from the WCSB, Rocky Mountain Basins, Appalachia, Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea.
Wednesday, May 14th – 10:00am to 4:00pm
Thursday, May 15th – 8:30am to 4:00pm
