Sponsors’ meeting: 12th and 13th January 2021
Because our regular schedule of in-person sponsor update meetings has been disrupted, we plan to run a Leeds-hosted Microsoft Teams meeting in mid-January 2021. 2.00–4.30 pm GMT, Tuesday 12th Jan & 8.00–10.30 am GMT, Wednesday 13th Jan.

Because our regular schedule of in-person sponsor update meetings has been disrupted, we plan to run a Leeds-hosted Microsoft Teams meeting in mid-January 2021. We will run the meeting twice (i.e. same sessions repeated) as two c. two-and-a-half-hour sessions. 

Meeting 1: 2.00 pm – 4.30 pm GMT, Tuesday 12th January 2021

Meeting 2: 8.00 am – 10.30 am GMT, Wednesday 13th January 2021

Key contacts in sponsor companies have been sent the joining instructions for the meetings. Alternatively, if you are an employee of a sponsor company and would like to attend one or both meetings but require the joining instructions, simply contact Nigel Mountney (n.p.mountney@leeds.ac.uk).

In advance of the meetings, we will prepare a series of webinar-style presentations, each c. 20-minutes in duration. These will provide succinct summaries of the many research projects that we currently have ongoing and that have recently been completed. We will upload these webinar-style presentations to the FRG-ERG-SMRG website by Thursday 7th January to allow sponsors to familiarize themselves with our recent research activities. 

In the meeting itself, we will provide the following:

(i)         an overview of what we have achieved in Phase 4 of the JIP;

(ii)        a summary of our flagship sedimentary architectural databasing and numerical modelling research initiatives;

(iii)       a summary of how our novel and innovative research methods and results can be applied for improved subsurface characterization in reservoir successions of fluvial, aeolian, paralic and shallow-marine origin;

(iv)       a summary of the various knowledge transfer initiatives that are available to sponsors;

(v)        an overview of our planned research for FRG-ERG-SMRG Phase 5;

(vi)       an open discussion of how we are embracing initiatives for low-carbon subsurface energy solutions, including shallow and deep geothermal, CCS and hydrogen storage.

We will be keen to invite questions and discussion. A full schedule for the meeting will be finalized in very early January. We appreciate that the meeting timings may not suit all, so we will record the sessions for later perusal, if desired.
