Summertime is fast approaching, so we invite you to "Go to Summer
School with AAPG!" We have a variety of short courses and field
seminars to help you brush up on your skills in the next several
months.
First,
several courses are set for May, including:
-
John Balsley's trip on "Foreland Basin Clastic Reservoirs, Book
Cliffs, Utah," which will take place May 16-24.
- Two
international trips on carbonates are slated: "Equatorial Carbonate
Systems" in Indonesia, May 22-28, and "Complex Carbonate Reservoirs"
in Italy, May 22-27.
- "Depositional
Sequence Stratigraphy of Fluvial-Deltaic Deposits" will be offered
May 29-June 4, in Utah.
- A
new course on "Overview of the Subsurface Petroleum Geology of
Northern South America," scheduled in Houston for May 23-24.
Also there
is still time to register for several offerings that will be held
before and after the AAPG Annual Convention in Calgary, including:
-
The popular short course on "Risk Analysis for Development Applications,"
June 18-19, taught by Rose & Associates.
- Two
exciting field seminars: The pre-convention trip is "Carbonate
Reservoir Characterization: From Rocks to Fluid Flow Simulation
Using Sequence Stratigraphy, Paradox Basin, Utah," offered June
14-18 and beginning and ending in Durango, Colo.; the post-convention
trip is the top-rated GeoTour on "Grand Canyon Geology via the
Colorado River, Arizona", offered June 23-30.
Seats in
this one are going fast, so if you want to sign up for this once-in-a-lifetime
experience, you need to act quickly.
Other summer
short course offerings are:
-
A new short course, "Rock Properties of Tight Gas Sandstones,"
being offered in Denver July 21. Understanding and developing
tight gas sands seem to be in high demand these days, so be the
first in your office to get a handle on this exciting area of
exploration.
- Our
always-in-demand course on "Basic Well Log Analysis" returns Aug.
9-12, in Austin, Texas, taught by well logging experts George
Asquith and Dan Krygowski. The course is a necessity for entry-level
geologists, and mid-level professionals who may find their job
skill needs shifting or need a refresher.
Finally,
the summer lineup of field seminars is designed to get you out on
the rocks and back to nature. They include:
-
In July, "Lewis & Clark GeoTour" (Montana), "Predicting Clastic
Reservoirs Using Applied Sequence Stratigraphy" (Utah and Wyoming)
and "Deltaic and Turbidite Reservoir Systems of Southeast Asia"(Malaysia).
- In
August, "Fundamentals of Coalbed Methane E&P" (Utah).
