We are proud to unveil our second Sequence Stratigraphy Quiz, which, like the first one, allows you to learn, test your knowledge, and print out a certificate with your grade – all for free!

Poor proppant selection for hydraulic fracturing in a shale play can be disastrous. The wrong size and the wrong coating can result in clogged pore spaces and greatly reduced permeability. Instead of increasing reservoir connectivity, a poor proppant selection can decrease it.

AAPG Education is proud to debut a new series of learning opportunities designed for quick, fun, on-the-go learning. We will be launching a series, “Quick Bite Learning” which will involves lessons and quizzes which you can complete during lunchtime, breaks, or any time you’d like to refresh your knowledge or learn something new.

It often seems as though attempts to find sweet spots are restricted to seismic, petrophysics, cores, and regional geological information. There’s geochemical information as well, and as yet, it’s often an underutilized data set, often because there is little or no consistency in the information gathered in all the wells.

The Niobrara Shale play continues to evolve as wells are drilled and new technologies are employed. Have you kept up?

Liquids-rich plays? New carbonates? Shale plays? Important new tools? Basic skills? seismic, engineering, geology. We’re excited about our catalogue of archived e-symposia

How do you retain great geoscientists and keep them on your team? How do you motivate them? AAPG is offering an e-symposium by Dr. Frank Wantland, to be held April 12 at 10 am (CST). For more information and to register, click the link.
