In Memoriam

Bjrn Thorleif Gunnar Wands, 1952-2007

Athens 2007 Technical Programme Co-Chair Just two weeks after returning home to Norway fromAthens where he guided the assembly of the confer-ences excellent technical programme, Bjrn Wandsdied while on a ski trip on 3 March. He will be pro-

foundly missed by colleagues not only on the Organising and SteeringCommittees but throughout the geoscience community. He will beremembered for his creative thinking (which helped lead to the discov-ery of the Goliath Field offshore Norway), his keen interest in makingolder geological data available and accessible and his tireless volunteer-ing that led to the immense impact he made on the programme you willenjoy and learn from this November.

2 Energy Conference and Exhibition Presented by AAPG and AAPG European Region

Join Us in Athens to

Challenge Our Myths

We invite you to join fellowcolleagues 18-21 November 2007 foran exciting scientific conference,exhibition, field trips and shortcourses. The European Region of theAmerican Association of PetroleumGeologists, in full partnership with ourparent organization, will present aprogramme sure to appeal to

explorationists and researchgeoscientists from the Circum-Mediterranean, Middle East and NorthAfrica, as well as current hot spots inthe North Sea, Russia, the Caspian,Black Sea and West Africa.

Technical sessions on carbonateand clastic reservoirs, structuralgeology, heavy oil and new theories onglobal geology and hydrocarbongeneration are important elements thatwill be presented. The conference topical, timely and broad in appeal

will be held in Athens, ancient city ofculture, philosophy, science and mythictradition.

Our goal is for you to challengeyour own myths over the course of thefour-day event and thus return to thebusiness of finding more oil and gas,willing to take risks with new thinking.Prometheus serves as our guide:stealing fire from the gods was a riskyventure, but humanity benefitedimmeasurably from his risk-taking.Consider that when the exploration

community discovered the Goliath oilfield in the Barents Sea, several mythswere challenged: There is only gas in the Barents Sea All the oil leaked to the surface

during the geological history ofTertiary uplift

Oil found as shallow as +/- 1000 mdepth must be heavily biodegraded

We proved these myths to be false,and additional myth-challenging facts

seemed to become available with eachnew exploration well. You know manymore examples in our discipline.

You also know that, whilechallenging myths often reaps rewards,there can also be risks as many of ushave experienced in our work in thepetroleum industry. (We must notforget Prometheus unfortunate end!)

Risk-taking must always be temperedby practicality and pragmatism.

Athens continues to bask in the

afterglow of hosting the SummerOlympic Games in 2004. The newairport, hotels, public transport, streets,attractions and general atmosphere allreflect Athens newly revitalizedprominence at the worlds crossroads.You will be delighted at the citysbeauty, comfort and accessibility.

You will find the very modernMegaron conference facilities a perfectvenue, with exhibits and posters

convenient to the conference halls.We encourage students to apply

for support and to participate in thefree student short course. We willdeliver a guest programme and socialevents that will make you rememberthe conference with pleasure.

You will note that our technicalprogramme committee has put together

an impressive array of technical papers.This could not have been accomplished

without the work of Bjrn Wands, in

whose memory we are dedicating thisconference.

Regardless of whether you are aspeaker, attendee, sponsor, exhibitor orstudent, we are certain you will beprofessionally enriched by yourexperience in November. Do join us!

Around are many islands, close toeach other, Doulichion and Same andwooded Zacynthos. Ithaca itself lies low,furthest to sea towards dusk; the rest,apart, face dawn and sun.

Odyssey 9.19-26

While Zacynthos continues toexist today, and almost all expertsregard Same as present-dayKefalonia, the island of Doulichionhas never been traced: it hasremained a mystery for 3000 years.The application of moderngeoscience entered the analysis in2003 in an attempt to address the all-important question: could a marinechannel, subsequently described byStrabo as a low-lying isthmus, haveseparated Paliki, the westernmost

peninsula of Kefalonia, from the restof the island during the late BronzeAge? If it did, Paliki would then havebeen a free-standing island thatprecisely met Homers description:lies low, furthest to the sea towardsdusk.

John has been leading thegeological, geophysical andgeomorphological tests of the theorythat the Paliki Peninsula in Western

Kefalonia might have been a free-standing island as recently as 3,000years ago. Confirmation of thathypothesis would have dramaticramifications for our understandingof Classical Greece.

Underhill has been an AAPG

member since 1983, a Matson Awardrecipient and an AAPG DistinguishedLecturer and Award winner. He holdsa BSc in Geology from BristolUniversity and a PhD from theUniversity of Wales. He worked forShell International for five yearsbefore joining the University ofEdinburgh, where he holds the Chairof Stratigraphy. He has donesignificant research into the geologyand geomorphology of Greece, and inhis spare time referees football

matches in the Scottish PremierLeague.

Technical Sessionthemes

The conference theme ChallengeOur Myths is apparent throughout thetechnical programme, both in ourregional and technical sessions. Thecombination of recent high oil pricesand an ever more competitiveexploration scene has led to industrygeoscientists continually beingchallenged to revisit long-held

paradigms concerning the ultimatevalue of oil and gas assets and theprospectivity of lightly exploredregions. Session topics will explorehow these challenges are being met insome of the most active regions andchallenging environments in the world,from the Arctic to the Sahara. Newsubjects of great industry interest,

including unconventional resourcesand CO2 management, should generateinterest with geoscientists of alldisciplines.
