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, Abu Dhabi. Thanks Volker for a great 2008 AAPG Distinguished Lecturer presentation.

 

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 Qatar University and Dr. Abdulali M. Sadiq, QGS Chairman, Educ. Affairs for their continuing support of our society by supplying the venue for our monthly meetings.
