47th Geological Congress, Salvador, Brazil

Heriot-Watt University's Institute of Petroleum Engineering (IPE) was well-represented at the 47th Geological Congress in Salvador Brazil, 22-26th September.

With our partners in the Laboratory of Sedimentary Geology (LAGESED) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), IPE was involved with two aural papers and two poster presentations on work in carbonates.

This biannual meeting is the largest geological congress in Brazil attended by many government agencies, companies, academics and students and an ideal platform for Heriot-Watt's growing cooperation in the region.

Prof. Patrick Corbett (IPE) returned to Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh campus after two years living and working in Brazil supported by BG Group.  He established novel academic partnerships and helped to develop international research links between Brazil and Scotland.  He continues as BG Group Professor of Petroleum Engineering and is responsible for Heriot-Watt's strategy in Brazil.
