Abstract

IT is impossible accurately to assess the value of measure the success of the World Petroleum Congress, held in London on July 19-25 last, for, as with all international meetings of this character, vital problems discussed cannot be solved at the time, but must be referred to various committees of experts. Only time, and with it much detailed work, can show which of the innumerable ideas propounded at this Congress are of scientific import; many as yet must be classed as interesting but unproved theories. Anyone, however, can furnish himself with at least one tangible and lasting memento of this international pooling of current ideas and can extract therefrom such technical information as may be necessary to his particular branch of research or industry. The memento is a complete record of proceedings published at the offices of the Congress in two volumes. Vol. 1 includes all papers submitted in connexion with the Geological and Production Sections. Each section and sub-section is prefaced by a general reporter's summary giving the trend of present-day thought and research at a glance.
