The sun shone on London in mid-October as AAPG continued its centennial celebration with our final major event of the year at the 2017 International Conference and Exhibition (ICE). And that shining sun was a harbinger of a great conference, as more than 2,000 attendees from across the globe gathered to teach and learn about the science, the industry trends, and catch a glimpse of the future of the next 100 years of oil and natural gas exploration.
If the recent evidence of an uptick in acquisitions and divestiture activities continues, the next APPEX Global event in London should coincide with many new international prospects in the first quarter of 2018.
This first-ever AAPG event in Guyana will be held at the Guyana Marriott Georgetown on 6-8 November 2017. Discounted hotel rooms are available on the event website. Space is limited, so book now!

The energy industry has an important role to play in raising the quality of life of the more than one billion people in the world who suffer under energy poverty.
AAPG President Charles Sternbach likes to quote the late Marlan Downey, a past AAPG president, about the secrets to a successful career in the profession. “Go where the energy is.” And in London, during the Discovering Thinking seminar at this year’s ICE, Sternbach, along with others, will revisit the world’s most petroliferous basins with new technology.
Charles Sternbach’s keynote address to the CSPG and AAPG Canada Region’s monthly luncheon this week was 'The Permian Basin (Prototype Super Basins) and Other Super Basins: Discovery Thinking, Innovation and Lessons'. It was a terrific talk, presented to a great gathering.
Bob Esser, a longtime AAPG Foundation Trustee Associate who for nearly 25 years has kept the group informed and often entertained regarding the current state of the petroleum industry, has been named the recipient of the 2017 Trustee Associates Service Award.
