Professor Wayne Pennington’s presentation 16 October
Organized by Hungarian Geological Society, Hungarian Academy of Science and AAPG Eötvös Student Chapter, our guest was Wayne Pennington, professor of the Michigan Technological University. Professor Wayne Pennington held a stimulating and informative presentation with the tilte of „Nuts and Bolts of Unconventional Oil and Gas Development (including what you want to learn about hydraulic fracturing)”. The aim of the lecture was to introduce the different kinds of unconventional deposits and show their growing importance in the future. During the presentation we heard about tight gas sand deposits, coal bed methane, shale gas and oil deposits, and gained information about hydraulic fracturing. In my view, the lecture was really interesting and beneficial for students and the attending professionals as well who are dealing with hydrocarbon industry, especially with unconventional reservoirs. Professor Wayne Pennington is an excellent lecturer who was true to the promising title of his talk. Jenifer Sarrang
