This is the first time ICE has been held in Istanbul and it was carefully selected for its unique position as the contact point of civilizations and where Asia and Europe meet. Petroleum history is recurrent in this confluence of East and West. At the turn of the 20th century, the transition period from coal to oil, Istanbul was a crucial center for the development of oil in the Middle East. It was the most prominent place for petroleum explorationists and for western investors as they were noticing petroleum was replacing coal in the world economy. The field geologists always came to Istanbul to gather information before they traveled to Mesopotamia and Iran. Today, the Middle East Region possesses around half of the world’s oil and natural gas reserves and Turkey is a natural bridge for transportation of these oil and gas riches to Europe. Therefore, it is highly meaningful that the conference is co-organized by AAPG, AAPG Europe, AAPG Middle East and TAPG under the theme The Spirit Between Continents: Energy and Geosciences in a Changing World. All of this renders this conference a perfect setting for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, deliberation and launch of constructive dialogues on energy integration for the sake of prosperity in the region and the world. Another first for ICE 2014 is the incorporation of AAPG’s Regional Prospect and Property Expo (APPEX), offering its own exploration themed presentations and exhibits. APPEX is the key forum for networking and international deal development, carefully designed for you to meet, discuss and negotiate deals with global decision makers. The outstanding technical program was selected from a record number of abstract submittals and includes several forums and special sessions to learn more about what is happening in the oil industry globally. Topics include keys to affordable energy, new and emerging E&P, basin analysis, case studies and many more. We have also included several activities for young professionals or students and many networking opportunities for you to mingle with old friends and make new ones. On behalf of the conference committee, it is my very great pleasure to welcome you to ICE. Enjoy the magical city of Istanbul, its many significant landmarks and the cultural and entertainment rich city center. We are glad you are here to participate in what promises to be a multicultural and historical event.
