In November 2005, the Ukrainian Association of Geologist hosted the AAPG representatives. The AAPG President Peter Rose and the European Region President John Brooks paid an official visit to Kyiv.


On November 14, Dr. Rose delivered a lecture on "Reducing the risk of oil and gas exploration through the introduction of systematic risk analysis (based on the experience of international corporations in the 1900s)" in the Assembly Hall of the Teacher's House. The lecture was attended by about 120 employees of the Ukrainian oil and gas industry. Then a lively discussion took place as the problem of risks during the exploration and development of oil and gas fields was very urgent in Ukraine.

On November 15, American guests met with students of the Geological Faculty of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. During the meeting, Dr. Rose noted that the development of society and integration into the international economic space required a modern specialist to work in joint projects with foreign colleagues in scientific and business projects.
