On 27th and 28th of February we had a pleasure to host a specialist from Manchaster UK. Professor
Jonathan Redfern paid us a visit as a part of Visiting Geoscientist Programe organized by the AAPG.
His main field of interests are North Africa and Nova Scotia in Canada, which do have similarities in
geology. During his visit we had opportunity to listen and learn from his vast experience in petroleum
industry and academic work. Workflow methods, understanding of basin evolution are the keys o
success in exploration. New laboratory methods combined with years of experience can bring
interesting results for scientist and collaborating companies. Professor reminded us that we need to
remember the roots of the geology and where it all began. In the field. Hard field work and research
can lower the risk of failure in hydrocarbons exploration.
