DR. DON KENT core WORKSHOP

presented by Saskatchewan Geological Society

 

 

The Dr. Don Kent Core Workshop is looking at rocks ranging from the Cretaceous down to the preCambrian. There will be 7 presentations with traditional core analysis as well as volatile analysis for potential entrapment of helium and other hydrocarbons. Cores presented will be from Saskatchewan as well as North Dakota providing a unique interpretation of strata from across the Williston Basin.

 

Two sessions available, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, with a maximum limit of 50 delegates in each session. Lunch will be provided for both sessions between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. The workshops are very interactive with authors presenting their findings utilizing core and posters. After the presentations there will be plenty of time to interact with the authors over the core, and dig deeper into the nature of these oil plays from a geological perspective.
