Division Profile

The long-standing Hydrogeology Division has now been reinvented as the Geofluids division, to reflect the understanding that sedimentary basins are complex, multi-phase dynamic systems which integrate a range of biological, chemical and physical processes over geological time to produce petroleum and other economic resources. This division will provide a forum for discussion of research into the role of all fluids in mineralogical, chemical, and structural evolution of the Earth's crust, by emphasizing subsurface fluid movement and the associated bio-geo-chemical and physical processes of petroleum systems. In this division, presentation of ideas across a wide range of sub-disciplines will be encouraged to better understand complex basin environments through time. The Geofluids division will encompass studies of groundwater, and basin terrestrial or submarine fluids, such as basinal brines, petroleum, and non-hydrocarbon gases, in terms of (bio)geochemistry and physical fluid flow. Such investigations may derive from laboratory, field or numerical simulation experiments to better quantify and integrate the complex components of petroleum systems.

The division typically hosts informal brown-bag talk every month, except during the summer. Talks are held on the third Thursday of each month starting at 12:00 noon and finishing before 1 p.m. Each talk consists of a 40 minute technical presentation followed by 10 minute question period. Currently, our monthly talks are held at the ConocoPhillips Auditorium, which can be found on the +30 level on the west end of the building, at 401 - 9th Avenue SW, Calgary.

The Hydrogeology Division has benefited by long time support of several cooperate sponsors, Rakhit Petroleum provides a venue for monthly meetings, and ConocoPhillips provides access to a lecture theater for monthly talks. If you would like to suggest a technical topic or present a talk to the division, please contact the Division Chairs, Jennifer Adams, University of Calgary, at (403) 220-3258 or via e-mail at adamsjj@ucalgary.ca, or Nina Ejezie, Imperial Oil, at (403) 237-2985 or via email at nina.u.ejezie@esso.ca.

We would like to assemble a distribution list for division members. Please email Jennifer Adams at adamsjj@ucalgary.ca to be included on the list.
