Imperial College Alumni event at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention

An event report from the Imperial College Alumni event at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention which took place in Houston, Texas, on 10 April 2006.

Thank you all for attending the Imperial College Alumni event at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention 2006 in Houston Texas a couple of weeks ago. It was really good to make contact with such a broad spectrum of Imperial College alumni.

Although I never formally took a "headcount" I think we had about twelve or thirteen attendees with some alumni who graduated in 1939 (Arthur Down - Chemical Engineering) to current Earth Sciences staff and students. As expected,there was good representation from the Geology and Petroleum Engineering departments with a few engineers and physicists as well. We hope to hold similar alumni events at future AAPGs and also at other industry meetings such as the SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) annual meeting, this year in San Antonio and the SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicists) annual meeting, this year in New Orleans. Both meeting are in the autumn and further details of these alumni events will available soon.

Best regards and look forward to seeing you at the next alumni meeting!
