Petroleum Systems Conference 2025
Welcome to the Petroleum Systems Conference (PSC) 2025
24 – 25 September 2025, Quality Hotel Expo, Fornebu (Oslo)
Conference language: English
This is the fourth edition of the Petroleum Systems Conference (PSC). This follows great participation and success in the prior meetings in Stavanger in 2018, the virtual conference held in 2021 and the two day conference in Oslo in 2023.
The PSC 2025 will be held 24 – 25 September at Fornebu, close to Oslo, and aims to improve understanding and collaboration between petroleum system practitioners and geoscientists in both academia and industry. In the context of the current global energy challenges, petroleum systems analysis must continue to play a central role in delivering the discoveries needed to meet the medium-term energy demand. In addition, the technical understanding and integrated nature of this discipline make it one of the core capabilities required to facilitate the longer-term energy transition.
To achieve these goals, the petroleum systems analyst must extract greater depths of information from the wealth of data obtained from decades of exploration, while continuing to develop novel approaches to interrogate samples or models with greater specificity and precision. This endeavor will be greatly supported by the ongoing digital revolution and application of advanced analytics.
As with the previous editions, this PSC will present inter-disciplinary petroleum systems case studies, showcasing the integration of geochemical, geological and geophysical workflows across the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) and adjacent areas. We encourage submission of presentations spanning topics including, but not limited to:
- The continued search for alternative source rocks on the NCS and adjacent areas
- Extracting more information from established workflows and application of data science
- Investigation of new state of the art geochemical techniques and integration of next generation basin modeling approaches
- Petroleum systems analysis case studies focusing on traditional petroleum exploration as well as its application to new environmental and energy transition challenges.
Submit your abstract
Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (~300 words) describing the main ideas of the presentation. Each speaker gets a presentation time of 20 minutes, + 5 minutes for Q&A.
Speakers that submit abstracts and is elected to speak at the conference will receive a 50% discount on the Conference fee.
