The Association of Petroleum Geologists, or APG as it is more widely known, provides a forum for professionals and experts from academia and business to interact and share their ideas since its inception back in the year 2000. It is a association between geologists in academics and the industries betrothed in hydrocarbon exploration and deployment. Discussions in this area are centred on research rather than being primarily constrained by corporate directives.

In addition to being useful for professionals, APG aims to bring the impression of geology outside of desks and into open spaces like classrooms of academia, corporates in petroleum industry as well as other discipline of geology. Geology is an accepted and proved sciences, A few schools and colleges where geology is taught now have relevant literature and lab equipment thanks to the excellent work done by the previous executive body. We would make an effort to maintain and, if feasible, enhance this connection. APG's ongoing direction and assistance would be very helpful in accomplishing the goals.

I, along with Team APG, APG regional chapters across India, across organizations, would strive to make APG more vibrant, more meaningful and dedicated to the cause of bringing out the best of our science. Further, I request all the Geoscientist fraternity to join the Association of Petroleum Geologists forum by becoming a member to provide you all with accepted expectation in geoscience.

Greetings for the upcoming festive seasons

Hope we serve you all well.
