Northern Oil and Gas forum to be held in Anchorage

More than 250 American and Canadian oil and gas managers and scientists will participate in the jointly sponsored Northern Oil and Gas Research Forum 2008, Oct. 28-30, at the Downtown Anchorage Marriott Hotel.

Focus of the forum will be on research programs, how information is used in decision making and future directions for northern oil and gas exploration and development, said the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, one of the forum’s sponsors.

The forum will showcase current research programs by demonstrating how they have contributed to decision making through environmental assessments and the regulatory process, and highlighting the involvement of indigenous peoples in research programs; identify how to move research programs into the decision-making arena; and discuss future oil and gas research needs, including synergies and partnerships for the Beaufort Sea, North Slope and Mackenzie Delta.

In its general sessions the forum has technical and engineering, socio-cultural/socio-economic, biological and physical science programs that will describe the current research and its relevance to the Arctic.

The program and abstracts can be viewed at www.northslope.org. On-site registration will be limited due to seating constraints.
