This has been a difficult year for all of the scientific associations with whom we closely work. AAPG has, like them, made a difficult choice to further reduce our staff size, for the second time this fiscal year, and once again great folks who have been with us for many years are now looking for new employment.

We are busily restructuring the way AAPG conducts business here in Tulsa and around the globe. It’s a project forced upon us by the extended downturn in oil and natural gas prices and the impact the decline is having on our members and on the petroleum industry. Like you, we feel this impact directly, as the Association has had to reduce its staff levels in response to lower revenues.

In the past eight months, our industry has continued to be challenged by low commodity prices resulting in difficult times for many geoscientists in our industry. To everyone who has been affected and to those of you who are concerned that you will be, remember to stay focused and be optimistic about your future.

Over the last few years, several articles on multicomponent seismic data have appeared in Geophysical
Corner describing various aspects of processing and interpretation of such data. In this article, we address an important question about correlation of synthetic seismograms with converted wave PS seismic data.

When one of us joined Royal Dutch Shell in 1980, seven out of 27 young professionals in the basic training course were Swiss – a remarkable number of students from a tiny country that does not produce oil or gas. The term “Swiss mafia” was coined by our Dutch colleagues, and it wasn’t meant in a complimentary sense.

In late February, the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment left the United States. It sailed into an economically difficult global market with excess supplies of LNG, sluggish growth in energy demand, and exceptionally low oil prices against which global LNG prices are often set. However, many analysts and policymakers see reasons to expect growing demand for U.S. LNG.
