Global energy demand continues to grow each year as a result
of the economic expansion of developing countries and the
need for increasing energy in industrialized nations. Drivers that
shape energy demand are part of the complex interplay between
producers and consumers in an environment of changing prices,
with high cost and stakes for the industry.
Recent changes in the financial markets played a role in overall
curbing of demand that created spare production capacity,
while increasing efficiency in some areas. Industry needs to be
2009 AAPG International Conference & Exhibition
innovative and flexible in such times to leverage opportunities
presented in this high-stakes environment. Some of the issues
include availability of capital for large and small projects,
environmental regulations and climate change policies, R&D
investment, staff development and needs of governments,
communities and individuals.
There is no perfect solution, but there is a set of integrated
solutions. Technology is the key to bring these integrated
solutions together. Technology, along with teamwork and
partnerships between industry and government, are needed to
meet today’s complex challenges.
Plenary session speakers will address different aspects of the
issues facing the industry. Confirmed speakers include:
• Jose Sergio Gabrielli de Azevedo (Chairman, Petrobras)
• Mark W. Albers (Senior Vice President, Exxon Mobil Corporation)
• Amin Nasser (Senior Vice President E&P, Saudi Aramco)
• Yves-Louis Darricarrere (President E&P, Total)
• Andrew Gould (Chairman, Schlumberger)

Recent discoveries by Petrobras and its partners have dominated
world headlines for the past two years, thanks to several
significant breakthroughs in the subsalt targets in the offshore
Santos Basin. These finds, along with those in Africa and the

coming decades as well as further the development of advanced
concepts of exploration and drilling.
Panelists will discuss recent giant fields and the paradigm shifts
that enabled such discoveries with innovation and technology.

How to Leverage Cultural and Gender Differences
Date: Wednesday, 18 November
Time: 09:00–11:30
Location: Pavilion 5, Level 2, Room 210
Fee: Included with conference registration
Co-Chairs: A. Lara and C. Lacerda
Global energy demand is on the rise and the need to meet this
demand has accelerated E&P operations around the world. The
E&P industry is faced with numerous challenges that include
availability of large capital for projects big and small, investment
in R&D, technology innovation, staff development and leadership.
Corporations and management value cultural diversity in thought
and incorporate these in making better business decisions.
Research has identified that each individual has different ways to
approach leadership based on cultural and diversity preferences;
these preferences are, on average, different for men and women.
Our high-level executive speakers share their success stories and
discuss ways to leverage leadership into E&P business success
— the Americas experience. Speaker include:
• Solange Guedes, Petrobras (invited)
• Kim Bates (Vice President Americas, ExxonMobil Exploration
Company)
• Magda Chambriard (Director, ANP)
• Gretchen Gillis (AAPG Executive Editor-Books and
Schlumberger)
• Marcio Rocha Mello (CEO, HRT)

Local Information
Rio de Janeiro is divided into geographic zones: Zona Sul (South
Zone), Zona Norte (North Zone), Zona Oeste (West Zone) and
Centro (downtown). Each zone is subdivided into bairros (districts).
Zona Norte – This is where Rio’s International Airport Galeão/
Tom Jobim (GIG) is located, at the Ilha do Governador district.
The main bus terminal for interstate buses, Rodoviária Novo Rio,
is also located here.
Zona Oeste – ICE will be held at the Riocentro Exhibition &
Convention center in Zona Oeste. This zone includes the Barra
da Tijuca (or simply “Barra”) district and many of the conference

Transportation
Public Transportation
Air-conditioned buses: Locally known as frescão (freshcaun)
— the fresh guys — air-conditioned buses can be hailed, just
like taxis. They run along the beach and connect South Side
neighborhoods to each other, downtown, the airport and Barra.
They do not have a fixed schedule posted on the street, though.
As they are not as frequent as regular buses, you may have to
wait for a few minutes.
* Barra da Tijuca (706)
• Radio taxis: These white, blue or red taxis are reserved by
calling the company and requesting service. Cars are bigger
and usually air-conditioned. Some radio-taxis charge by the
meter, others charge flat rates. Ask for all details first. They will
need a contact phone number to confirm the ride.
• Yellow taxis: Taxis are a bright yellow with a blue stripe on the
sides. Yellow taxis run by the meter. There is an initial fare and
the meter starts ticking as soon as you get in. After 21:00 and
on weekends fares are a little higher. A tip of R$1 is normal.
Some taxis are air-conditioned at no extra charge.

• Buses: Rio’s most popular means of transportation, yet the
trickiest to master. A ride on a circular line bus is less than
R$2. There are bus lines connecting the whole city, and you
do not need exact change. There is a professional known as
cobrador sitting behind a turnstile to collect your money and
give you change.
Buses are not air-conditioned, and at rush hours they may look
more like sardine cans. Safety is an issue to consider. Sometimes
pickpockets and petty thieves take advantage of crowded buses
to prey upon commuters.
• Subway (Metrô): Rio’s subway is still relatively small, but it is
safe, comfortable and reliable. It is especially useful to take
you from Copacabana to Botafogo, Flamengo, Gloria and
Downtown. The subway does not yet reach Ipanema, Leblon
and Barra. Cars stop running at 23:00 and on weekends.
Visitors traveling to Riocentro by subway (Metrô) should
catch the Metrô Barra bus at the Siqueira Campos Station at
Copacabana, getting off at the Terminal Alvorada bus terminal
boarding other buses going past the Riocentro.

Bus lines running past Riocentro (subject to change):

* Cascadura-Riocentro (757)
* Cascadura-Riocentro (763)
* Castelo-Taquara (2113)
* Praça XV-Riocentro (268)
* Terminal Alvorada (708)

See you in
Calgary…

…where advances in unconventional resource recovery

are driving exploration & production
For the past 80 years, Calgary — situated in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin — has been Canada’s energy storehouse of
conventional oil and gas reserves. Oil sands found in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are now known to contain the largest
reserve of bitumen in the world — an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels. And while only 10% of this is estimated to be recoverable with
current technology, geoscientists are exploring these new frontiers and developing solutions to increase production.

You can be a part of the unconventional thinking that will drive the world’s energy future. Come to Calgary and participate in ICE 2010.

Many parts working Energy demand is expected
to be 35 percent higher in the
year 2030 than it was in the
together—the only year 2005, driven largely by
people in the developing world
way to solve the world’s seeking higher standards of
living. Meeting this growing long-
energy challenges. term demand requires that we
develop all economic sources of
energy—oil, natural gas, coal,
nuclear and alternatives.
This global energy demand
challenge is matched by
a global environmental
challenge—curbing greenhouse
gas emissions and addressing
the risks of climate change.
No single energy technology
available today solves this dual
challenge, and it is very likely
no single energy technology will
solve it tomorrow.
We need an integrated set of
solutions, powered by technology and
innovation—ranging from producing
energy more effectively...to using it
more efficiently...to improving existing
alternative sources of energy...to
developing new options.
ExxonMobil is working to help meet
the world’s energy challenges—
investing more than $100 billion in
new supplies over the next four years,
developing efficiency technology
options like lithium-ion battery film
to speed the adoption of hybrid and
electric vehicles, and testing new
carbon capture technologies that
could reduce emissions significantly.
Because only by integrating all of
our energy options—new sources
and new technologies—will we solve
our dual energy and environmental
challenges.
