Beauty in Geology - Niagara Falls

The Niagara falls were formed by a series of geological events following the Wisconsin glaciation, when the glaciers retreated and melt water formed what eventually became the Great Lakes. Water flowing from the Great Lakes gouged out the Niagara Escarpment.

Fluid evolution in fracturing black shales, Appalachian Basin

Opening-mode veins in cores drilled from the mudrocks over- and underlying the major Silurian salt décollement in the Appalachian plateau (Tioga and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania), have mineralogic and isotopic compositions generally matching those of their host mudrocks, suggesting opening and filling amid little cross-stratal fluid motion.

Slow Injection For Better Well Re-Fracturing

It’s widely known that refracturing a horizontal well can help to reduce the interaction between so-called parent and child wells by causing a high stress area around the refractured wells and diverting child well fractures away from the parent well.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
