Event details

Our Careers Day is an annual event run by Ocean and Earth Science in collaboration with the University of Southampton Careers Service. The aim of the day is to engage our geology, geophysics, oceanography and marine biology students along with students from the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences with key organisations relevant to their field of study, giving them opportunity to network and discuss potential career pathways. The event will be held at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, on Thursday 21st February 2019 and will begin at 10am and conclude at 2pm.

Brochure - There are 2 versions of the Careers Day Brochure. One printable booklet on A4 d/s and folded to A5. The other can be scaled to fit A4 and printed d/s.

Industry Talk

Dr Andy Davies and Prof Mike Simmons are experienced geological advisers with Halliburton, a major oil industry service company. Their main focus is helping de-risk exploration in frontier regions by the application of regional geology, geodynamics, sequence stratigraphy and, increasingly, data science.

Abstract:
Despite shifts to more carbon-neutral energy sources in the future, there is broad consensus that demand for hydrocarbons will not substantially decrease in the next twenty or so years and that oil and gas will continue to be part of the energy mix out to 2050 and beyond. Readily available energy, especially for electricity generation, fuels healthier and wealthier economies. So geologists need to continue to find new oil and gas fields. This is becoming more difficult as explorers turn to basins and plays with greater geological uncertainties. As a result of the loss of experience in the industry, early career geoscientists will be increasingly required to explore in frontier basins and utilize a wider range of specialist techniques. However, combining cutting edge geoscience and the benefits of the digital revolution with innovative software tools has the power to ensure successful exploration will continue, helping the world population to continue to benefit from an unprecedented move away from poverty.
