Athens Conference
25-28 November 2007
The European Region of AAPG is organizing a large international conference in Athens, Greece, in November 2007, covering the petroleum geology of the Circum-Mediterranean, Middle East and the Caspian. Also key areas and hot spots outside this region will be included.
This is a call for papers. Abstracts are due January 25, 2007.
The object is to cooperate with other AAPG regions and have a large exhibition of 1000 to 2000 participants at the conference. Participation from national and major oil companies is essential.
The conference venue will be in the fantastic Megaron facilities in the centre of Athens.
The main slogan for the conference is: Challenge our myths.
Each co-chairman and speaker is encouraged to make their own interpretation of this slogan and incorporate it into presentations. By challenging myths there may be rewards but also risks – as many of us has experienced in our work as geoscientists in the petroleum industry.
The conference should attract professionals from the various AAPG Regions because it will facilitate integration and transfer of knowledge. For the areas with special industry interest a majority of the talks will emphasis one or more of the following elements:
- Field case histories;
- Exploration status and opportunities;
- Challenge our myths.
