NAPSA
(North Atlantic Petroleum Systems Assessment)

Fostering research collaboration between Irish and Atlantic Canadian researchers

About NAPSA

About NAPSA

Purpose

The objective of NAPSA is to foster research collaboration between Irish and Atlantic Canadian researchers that will lead to the establishment of funded scientific projects to enhance our understanding of the petroleum geology of the North Atlantic basins.

Why?

Exploit similarities between the petroleum geology on both sides of the Atlantic to improve the accuracy of petroleum systems analysis and compensate for scarce data coverage.

How?

Acquire strategic new geological and geophysical research data on both sides of the Atlantic.

Background

NAPSA was formalised with the signing of a Letter of Intent at the first NAPSA Executive Committee in Dublin on 28 February 2007.

Website

A new website was developed and went live in October 2011. This was updated in January 2019 to a responsive design with improved security and admin options.
