Commemorating 20 years of Shell and PetroCanada support to oil production in Syria, and under the patronage of H.E. the Minister of Oil & Mineral Resources, Engineer Sufian Al - Alao and with the cooperation between the Ministry of Oil & Mineral Resources, Syria Shell Petroleum Development and Petro Canada companies, respectively represented by their General Managers Mr. Campbell Keir and Mr. Hisham Yazji, a launching ceremony for the book “ Treasures of the Earth” is held on Wednesday 22 February at 18.00 h., at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Many representatives from the government, employees in the oil and gas sector, representatives of foreign companies working in Syria, and a number of specialist academics in the field of Oil Engineering, Geology and Syria Shell Petroleum Development and Petro Canada staff will attend the event.
The book is considered as a scientific and cultural reference, the first of the kind in providing significant data, as it represents a discovery journey in Syria through its beautiful landscape and the immortal forces of nature. It aims at putting Syria’s geology at hand to ordinary readers through providing basics on the Geology science in a simplified and smooth method. At the same time, it reveals how the Geology can impact our daily life, having a prominent role in the development programs.
As a social commitment towards the Syrian Community, we offer this book as a contribution to support the cultural, scientific and educational movement in Syria, which we always take in our perpetual interest, in all the developmental programs activities we perform all over the year
