Metatek's June Events Review
August 2025
June has been a busy month for the team at Metatek with two exciting events that we attended!
EAGE2025 2nd – 5th June Toulouse
This year’s EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) EAGE2025 conference was held in Toulouse, from 2nd -5th June. With the theme “Navigating Change: Geosciences Shaping a Sustainable Transition,” the conference underscored the pivotal role of geosciences in addressing global sustainability challenges.
Toulouse, a first-time host, is the world capital for aeronautics and the European capital of the space industry. An out-of-town event, close to the airport, kept the Uber drivers busy, ferrying attendees to and from the new MEETT conference and exhibition centre.
We were situated in the International Pavilion, stand IPC1, alongside our partners, Striped Horse Resources and Rockwash Geodata. We had a great time sharing our results from all the work we have done in Angola over the past year – it’s been a busy time for all three companies so it was great to touch base in person.
Jonathan Watson, Charles Thomas and Jack Cawthorne were in attendance and were able to answer any questions of visitors to the booth. This is one of the reasons we like to attend these types of events – face to face conversation about the industry.
On the Tuesday Charles Thomas, of Striped Horse, presented a talk on non-seismic methods as part of the International Prospecting Centre sessions, describing the recent eFTG gravity gradiometry, magnetic and LiDAR surveys conducted over the onshore Kwanza Basin. Following this talk, he joined the panel discussion “How ultra-deepwater is revitalising oil and gas exploration”. This was a well-attended talk and discussion, it was great to have so many interested visitors.
Alongside the technical and business opportunities was the social side. An evening event at the Victor Hugo Market, in the centre of Toulouse, was a very pleasant assault on the senses, sampling local cuisine.
All in all an enjoyable few days in the South of France, and onwards to the 2026 EAGE conference in the Granite City, Aberdeen.
ANPG Onshore Exploration Forum 5th-6th June Luanda
During June we also attending the 2nd ANPG Onshore Exploration Forum in Luanda. This took place on the 5-6 June with our local partners Striped Horse Resources.
Christian Richards and Dilo Sá, PMP® were on hand to talk about our multiclient onshore Kwanza basin airborne eFTG survey data.
On the Thursday one of the project pre-funders, Intank Group presented some of the data from our onshore Kwanza basin airborne eFTG survey in their talk “Airborne eFTG Data for Onshore Exploration – an example from KON2”
This was another well received event that we found useful and interesting.
