News and Information about QGS June 2008 - President’s Letter I hope
everyone enjoyed last month’s speaker talk entitled “Dealing With Multi-level
Property Heterogeneity in Carbonate Reservoirs” by Volker Vahrenkamp,
Geology Specialist, ADCO, Safety
Moment: The QGS is totally committed to performing all of our actions and
functions with the highest level of safety. Our goal is that no member will
ever be harmed during any QGS sponsored activity. Please see the monthly SAFETY MOMENT on Crossing Streets at Zebra Crossings In Doha
in the newsletter. Attached is
the promotion poster as a reminder. Please choose to adopt this traffic action. FIELD TRIP: Joint QGS / ESG Field Trip
first announcement: Sabkha field trip with members
of the ESG (Emirates Society of Geoscientists). Plans are being worked for an
October field trip that would include visiting sabkhas
and possibly with a boat trip all in one day. The ESG along with our Chairman
Field Trip, Frans Van Buchem, will organize the trip. More details to follow
when plans are more definitive. The
QGS Executive Committee (EC) is continuing their efforts in getting the QGS
registered in the State of Qatar. The EC members are investigating the
process of opening a Qatar bank account so we can start the QGS sponsorship
drive to enlist locally based energy companies, educational institutions,
local businesses and private geological consultants to financially support
the society. A healthy fund account will enable us to lift the general
standard of QGS’ activities. More updates in the June newsletter. Special
thanks to Stephen Kennedy for compiling the most up to date membership
database. This database is important in keeping track of our members and
having the ability to electronically communicate directly to all QGS members.
If you haven’t already done so, please sign up as a member of the QGS. Note
that active students have free membership. Membership forms can be found on
our website: www.qgeosoc.com Phil
Lawry, QGS Web Master continues to upgrade our website and Jacques Le Blanc
is doing a great job putting together our monthly newsletter. Robert Chanpong
continues to enlist top speakers for our monthly meetings. Teamwork by the
QGS Executive Committee is exemplary. SUMMER BREAK: Please note that we will not
have August and September meetings due to summer break and Ramadan. Finally,
the QGS gives thanks to . Manny Fernandez, 2008 QGS President.
