Annual Report
2012-2013
President’s report 2012-2013 I am delighted to report that 2012-13 continued the string of successful years for EAGE. The year delivered a technically strong and diverse programme of topical and timely conferences, workshops, short courses, lecture series, and a suite of educational and student activities. Taken as a whole, these resulted in good financial performance for the Association. In some cases, negative financial results were accepted in order to deliver a key workshop or other activity in a new location or on a new subject. The yearly cycle of activities concluded with our 75th Annual Conference that was held at the ExCel Centre in London. With more than 8400 attendees, more exhibition space than ever, a Technical Programme with nearly 1,400 oral and poster presentations, and an expanded set of 16 workshops, the 2013 Annual Conference is our largest and most successful to date. Throughout the year, EAGE had activities in both the Oil and Gas Geoscience Division (OGGD) and in the Near Surface Geoscience Division (NSGD). Both divisions continue to thrive, and overall membership numbers continue to grow with over 17,000 members in more than 110 countries. The age group under 35 is growing rapidly, as are our student and young professional memberships which comprise most of that group. We are especially pleased that our percentage of women memberships is at a record level. Whilst most of our members are based in Western Europe, most of our membership growth now comes from outside of Europe, reflecting the global reach of the Association. The OGGD contains 87% of the total membership. We were pleased to negotiate a Corporate Membership for Saudi Aramco, a model we hope to develop with other large geoscience and engineering organizations. We continued working with several sister geoscience and engineering societies to bring new professional opportunities to our respective members. This included working with the SPE by integrating their EUROPEC meeting in our Annual for the ninth consecutive year. Following the signing at the Copenhagen Annual of strategic agreements with the SEG and the AAPG, we are well on our way with the planning of a Joint Forum with the SEG, and a joint workshop with the AAPG, both to be held in Lisbon in November. Many other examples of cooperative activities can be readily found on the EAGE website. And I am especially pleased to report that we have been signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Houston-based Chinese-American Petroleum Association (CAPA) at the London Annual, following the MOU with the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG)

in March in Calgary, which encompass a wide range of cooperation including educational activities. Speaking of educational activities, this has been a notable year. Our EET programme, now grown to EET 8 with numbers 9-12 being developed, is drawing ever-larger number of attendees. For the first time an EET (#5) was presented in North America. Furthermore, we are moving our Distinguished Lecturer Programme (DLP) to the electronic world, offering web-based lectures on demand over the Internet. This has also been a watershed year for EAGE in the use of other modern electronic media, including the social media that resonate with our younger members and with some of us more senior types as well. We were piloting the use of a mobile application for our London Annual programme. We joined Facebook, and created a LinkedIn profile. Our five journals continue to do well as measured by technical quality, citation indices, and financial health. I thank our editors, editorial boards, and outside reviewers who continue to make that all possible. In particular, I heartily thank Andrew McBarnet, editor of First Break, who will step down in July after a remarkable 31 years of devoted service to the journal. And as you have seen, we changed our publications pricing structure, reducing costs for online subscriptions to encourage wider readership of subjects, as well as moving greener to reduce paper use and the carbon footprint associated with physical journals. As I pass the presidential reins to Gladys Gonzalez, our first female President, I do so with the firm knowledge that the Association is in good hands. My fellow 20122013 Board members have performed extremely well. But renewal of our Board membership is a key part of the health of the Association, and this year sees Mohammed Alfaraj from Saudi Aramco taking over from Phil Ringrose as Vice-President-Elect, Cherieke Zunder-Doek from Paradigm replaces Chris te Stroet as Secretary-Treasurer, and Gerhard Diephuis replaces Neil Goulty as Publications Officer after a full six-year commitment by Neil. I extend my personal thanks to the more than 70 employed staff at our Houten headquarters and regional offices in Moscow, Dubai, and Kuala Lumpur. Using any metric, EAGE is an efficient organization whose performance continues to improve with time, and this is due in no small part to our staff. Finally and most importantly, I thank you, my fellow EAGE members, for the honour and privilege of leading you this past year.

EAGE Annual Report 2012-2013
President’s Preview 2013-2014 Serving as your president for 2013-2014 is a great honour and brings also a lot of responsibilities. I look forward to channeling my energies into the leadership of EAGE and have clear ideas about what I want to achieve during the presidential year. The theme of my presidency refers to the need of narrowing the gap between geoscience and engineering disciplines; professional development across the regions; academic and industry efforts to develop emerging technologies to address society’s needs; for young professionals and women in career development; professional degrees and professional occupation; and active and inactive members. To that end, planned initiatives include multi-disciplinary conferences, workshops and programmes in partnership with other geoscience and engineering societies. There will also be analysis of how members participate in EAGE committees, events and ballots. Most EAGE members received part of their education in their native countries, while others studied and worked in foreign nations during their careers. This means our members are professionals with a global presence. I believe tapping into the strengths of the different regions will help to narrow the gaps. I also would like to continue to work with sister and local societies and explore where our Association can make a difference in narrowing gaps, particularly in Latin America, Asia and Africa. All the regions have outstanding professionals that deserve worldwide recognition for their achievements. I would also like to do more for young professionals and to improve their professional network by using modern communication tools. One idea is to encourage young professionals to chair sessions at EAGE events to build up their experience. Women should especially be more actively involved in the EAGE organization. Therefore, I will promote the participation of women
in EAGE by asking our members, both male and female, to recognize their female colleagues for their qualities and achievements. I will ask members to invite qualified women to participate on existing and new committees, to provide short courses, to present papers and to nominate them for awards and officer positions. We have talented professional women in all regions, but I do not believe in imposing quotas for the equal representation of women on the board or committees. This was also the unanimous conclusion from 80 participants of our first women in geoscience event that took place during our 75th Annual Meeting in London. Female representation should be a natural process. In my view the statistics do not tell a good story. EAGE shows a sustainable growth in members. There was a record attendance at the Annual Meeting in London with more than 8,400 visitors, far more than the 6,000 members who came to London in 2006. There is an even distribution of age among the Association’s 17,000 members. The disappointing figure is that only 18% of members are women. However, today, of the ten EAGE Board members, three are women in key officer positions (an increase from one in the period 2006−2011). I think we are moving in the right direction. But there is plenty of room for improvement. We, the very strong Board I have the fortune to be leading, the excellent staff in our Business offices and mainly you, the members, can go beyond the barrier of distance and language to partner in the common objective of narrowing the gap to promote the innovative development and application of geoscience and engineering.

In Kazakhstan, the second KazGeo 2012 was organised. The regional office in Dubai is continually organizing suc cessful events, a number which are continuations in the development of topics and results such as Fourth Passive Seismic, Second Borehole Geophysics and the Third Tar Mats and Heavy Oil workshops. The Dubai team has also been successful in developing new and dynamic workshops for the region including an Integrated Reservoir Modelling Conference, Workshop on Dead Sea Sinkholes and a Forum on Students and Young Professionals.
EAGE has two divisions, the Oil and Gas Geoscience Division and the Near Surface Geoscience Division. For both divisions, a committee is in place. The purpose of the Oil and Gas Geoscience Division is to represent and promote the interests of its members and to ensure that each of the Oil and Gas Geoscience disciplines of geophysics, geology and reservoir engineering is adequately represented within EAGE and its functional commit tees. The Near Surface Geoscience Division represents the interests of its members who work in geophysical, geotechnical, environmental, hydrogeological, archaeological and other fields of investigation of the shallow subsurface.
Committees In addition to the Board and Divisional Committees, EAGE also has a number of permanent committees in place. The committees of EAGE consist of professionals from the field advising EAGE about a certain topic, such as the technical programme, education matters, research, membership affairs and more. We would like to thank all volunteers from the committees for their efforts over the past year.
EAGE Offices The EAGE head office is located in the Netherlands, with regional offices in Houten, Moscow, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. The offices continue to grow throughout 2012 and 2013 with a total number of 66 employees in 2013. The regional office in Moscow has been growing steadily since the opening in 2006, which also shows in the number and quality of events organized in the Russia & CIS region, such as the biennial conference & exhibition in

Local Chapters
Associated Societies EAGE has close ties with several associated societies worldwide. When the opportunity arises, events will be organized in close cooperation with other societies in order to serve the industry best. The map on this page shows the global coverage of the Associated Societies of EAGE. EAGE invites all associated societies to attend EAGE’s Annual Conference & Exhibition to increase their international exposure and promote their activities. Also, events organized by associated societies worldwide are usually attended by a representative of the EAGE staff and/or board. In 2012-2013 EAGE welcomed AAGG, UGM, GSTT, CAPA, CSEG, CAGME, TAPG and SGF as new associated societies.
Sister Societies In line with its strategies for the future, EAGE aims to create more cooperation with its sister societies in order to serve the industry even better. Often a combined effort is made organizing conferences or workshops on a specific topic. There are cooperations with EEGS, The Geological Society of London, PESGB, SEG, SPE, AAPG, EGU and FESM.
EAGE has a number of Local Chapters in various regions. The aim of the Local Chapters is to promote EAGE activities and geosciences in general in a specific area. EAGE can help to support training and education of the local members. Local Chapters encourage EAGE membership in their region and support communication between the local members and the EAGE head office. The EAGE Best Local Chapter Award 2012 has been granted to the Local Chapter Serbia. The map below shows the distribution of the EAGE Local Chapters. Aside from its regular Local Chapters, EAGE has been developing Student Chapters throughout the world. For more information, please refer to page 20.
EAGE Green Fund An important development in EAGE’s emerging environmental strategy is the launch of Green Steps, formally introduced for the first time at the Vienna Annual Meeting in May 2011. This programme, in response to membership wishes, brings together initiatives regarding EAGE’s events and operations including reduction and compensation of emissions, reducing nature source consumption, reducing and recycling waste and offering more sustainable facilities. In 2011 EAGE installed solar panels on the roof of its Head Office. In 2012, EAGE presented the conference and workshop proceedings on a reusable USB stick, so paper is no longer used for this purpose. Another environmentalfriendly development is the digital version of this year’s Annual Report (a hardcopy is only available on request). EAGE is also organizing a second Sustainable Earth Sciences (SES) Conference and Exhibition in 2013.

Student Chapters EAGE has been developing Student Chapters throughout the world, whose aim is to promote, attend and organize geosciences and EAGE activities among students in their area. As of June 2012, we have active student chapters in Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, United Kingdom, France, Romania, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Botswana, Colombia, Canada, Russia, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Egypt and Jordan. This year, in the online Geo-Quiz all EAGE Student Chapters battled for a place in the on-site Geo-Quiz during London `13. The Berlin Student Chapter, Heriot-Watt University UK and the MSU Student Chapter had the best results, earning them free attendance to the 75th EAGE Conference & Exhibition in London, UK.
Supported Student Events 2012-2013 EAGE supported many student events throughout 20122013. Supported events included: • Latin American Geosciences Student Conference (Colombia) • Geographical Activity Programme (GAP) 2013 (Germany) • IGSC 2013 - (Germany) • Lustrumcongres Geologisch College Miölnir (The Netherlands) • 3rd Arheo-geophysical Student Field Camp (Serbia)
Support a Student Every year EAGE is forced to reject student applications for a sponsored EAGE membership, because of the limited amount of sponsored memberships that can be offered annually. During the 75th EAGE Conference & Exhibition, a new initiative is introduced to give more students the opportunity to benefit from an EAGE membership. With this new ‘Support a Student’ initiative, professionals can choose one or more students that he or she would like to sponsor. The professional can sponsor a student’s membership for a year for only € 25. EAGE’s student members enjoy not only the same benefits as regular members, but the many student activities give them the head start they need in their future careers.

PACE Support Fund The Programme for Association and Co-operation in Earth sciences (PACE) focuses on geoscientists in devel oping countries. In connection with one of EAGE’s main goals (“to promote the application of geosciences”) the PACE fund strives to encourage the exchange of information and knowledge among the global geoscientific community. Several events received support the past year; 123 applications for a student travel grant to visit the 75th Annual Conference in London were approved. PACE is coordinated by the PACE Committee, consisting of a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Secretary-Treasurer and several representatives. The Committee members convene regularly to discuss projects to support and are in close contact with societies and institutions in many countries. Between July 2012 - June 2013 PACE Support has been given to the 'Conference on Earth Sciences and Environment Protection' by the Association of Hungarian Geophysicists, held from 27 September 2012 to 29 September 2012.
