Working for a living, big time: Geophysical crews all over the world are keeping real busy these days.
In offshore areas such as the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, it’s not uncommon for oil emanating from source rocks to bypass natural trapping mechanisms and leak upward to the seafloor.
Examples of deep-water outcrops, as examined in AAPG Studies in Geology 56 is a publication that exposes some exposures that matter a lot to geologists.
The official technical program and registration announcement has been mailed and registration is now available for Athens 2007 -- a conference that promises to be a significant meeting for both the profession and the science of geology.
It’s not a “little fish” kind of exploration start-up. Cobalt International Energy LP of Houston plans to go after some of the biggest fish in the world, in some of the deepest waters explored.
Spring has been a busy time for DEG with the AAPG Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif., and the Southwest Section meeting in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Geophysical contractors sometimes find themselves in the darndest situations. Uganda was faced with the challenge to acquire a seismic survey across a large part of a water body for its Canada-based client Heritage Oil Corp.
Over the past few years there’s been copious buzz about new gee-whiz gizmos in the geophysical industry -- recording systems advances, new imaging techniques, etc.
The technical program and registration both will be available in early June for the AAPG European Region Energy Conference and Exhibition, which will be held Nov. 18-21 in Athens, Greece.
It’s a complex and competitive world for exploration. Expensive, too.
