    I am taking the initiative to send this to the Ministry of Environment and Energy due to recent and various speculations regarding the oil and gas resources in Greece. I am taking this initiative due to the following reasons, except helping the country: 1. I have worked and tried to find oil and gas in Greece from 1997 to 2002. I worked and still I am working to find hydrocarbon resources for other countries and not for my country, unfortunately. I am one of the few (regrettably few) Greeks familiar (I do not use the word expert since I am humble and down-to-earth person) with the difficult objective to discover oil and gas. 2. The history of oil and gas in Greece believing is long, since Herodotus times. Surprising in some conferences around the world scientists using Herodotus remarks for a black thick liquid that he found (it is in today’s Keri location). In Greece we never say anything! 3. Is there finally oil and gas in Greece? Yes! But do not expect lakes of oil or gas. 4. Why has not discovered till today? Because the previous government public company drilled wells for drilling only not to find resources, as simple as that. Technology was not used properly. 5. Who can help Greece to find oil? As you know already, only talented foreign private companies can undertake such operations and are able to succeed. 6. How to attract them? As you know, you have to provide business motivation and good advertisements. I have advertised Greece in journals quite few times of course without the help of any government (e.g. I provide only a couple: http://fb.eage.org/content.php?id=26763 ; http://www.scribd.com/doc/12717806/High-pressures-encountered-while-drilling-in-Greece). Greece can do it since we have stability, strategic location, ports and people that crave to help you! 7. Hydrocarbon exploration activities do not create environmental problems! Problems created only from shipping tankers, if any sinking takes place. There is a misunderstanding in the society for this issue. Areas like Greenland, Seychelles, Bahamas, and other touristy destinations are in an intensive drilling activity at the moment. 8. Discovery of oil-gas is very difficult scientific operation, but is worth trying for investments, for reducing unemployment, for prosperity, for positive foreign policy towards Greece. Unfortunately Greece is the only country left in the area without any such activity. Natural resource exploitation is the blood of the economies. 9. I tried to simplify this important and complex issue, but I strongly believe that you can succeed and be in the history as the first government that ever created a professional environment for hydrocarbon industry. 10. I did send quite few times emails and expressed my willingness to help the country for free but as usual never received any reply. However this is now an official document send to your Ministry. Hence, I am waiting for a response on your behalf, since I can offer, not only with knowledge but also with strategic plans. It is a good opportunity to utilize the Greeks of Diaspora, as our Prime Minister underlined that this government is going to utilize every individual of Greeks living overseas for the Greek miracle and economic development. Yours sincerely Mr Angelos Mavromatidis (Bsc, PhD in Petroleum Geology) ‘the mind must be made to conceive before the eye can be permitted to discover’ PS. Apologies for using the English language but I do not have Greek fonts installed on my PC
