SPEAKER LIST

2009 WTGS Fall Symposium


Elusive Hydrocarbons are Still to be Found in the Permian Basin

October 28-30, 2009
Midland, Texas

Symposium Schedule

The symposium was a grand success! 500+ attendees and presenters. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

This year was the 21st anniversary of the West Texas Geological Society Fall Symposium.  Papers for oral and poster presentations covering topics on resource plays, techniques, field studies, and general and regional geology that demonstrated hydrocarbon production and exploration in and around the Permian Basin.
