Historically, the exploration for oil and gas resources has focused on identifying structural and stratigraphic trams associated with conventional accumulations. This special issue aims at introducing a new exploration paradigm through case studies in the United States and Canada.

A carrier-bed play is characterized by low-quality reservoirs with pervasive, regional hydrocarbon saturation. The Denver and Powder River Basins, Rocky Mountain region, United States, are examples of carrier-bed plays. This play requires horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracture stimulation.

As your AAPG Executive Committee secretary, I ran for office and committed to doing my part in steering AAPG to be a healthy, thriving, professional organization today and in the future. I am passionate about developing an energized pipeline of future geoscientists, of which AAPG is a key enabler through their technical excellence and people. To see these changes happen, AAPG needs a fundamental shift, which is why I am very excited that we are ready to present the culmination of years of work to do just that through Reimagine AAPG.

Abstracts from more than 50 papers addressing the geology of the area from the southern onshore of North America to the northern onshore of South America, including the Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas Platform, Yucatán, Caribbean (Colombia, Venezuela), Grenada and Tobago basins and adjacent Atlantic. Integration will improve understanding and promote investigation of lesser-explored/debated areas, such as the Caribbean. Recent seismic and drilling discoveries from other offshore frontiers will help assessment of their hydrocarbon potential.
