Some bold and creative geologists, full of the entrepreneur spirit, helped turn the Falkland Islands into a success story.
Most papers about the history of geology concern evolution of concepts or sequences of events. This paper turns that on its ear – it shows how geology can influence history.
The Caribbean Basins Tectonics Hydrocarbon project is now in the stretch drive of its planned triple-phase program.
Jokers may be wild: Trying to predict what lies ahead for the energy industry, according to one expert, is a risky bet.
Achieving AAPG’s mission to advance the science and technology of petroleum geology often requires setting a broader context.
A new, specially funded, designated speaker has been added to the prestigious AAPG Distinguished Lecture program for the 2012-13 season.
Recount: The U.S. Geological Survey offers a new estimate of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources.
What would you give for an early detection system for earthquakes? Detecting those first waves of compression could help.
Historical Highlights looks at the origin of the Caribbean, a geological puzzle. Just exactly where did it come from?
In the rough terrain of overthrust settings, 2-D seismic data continues to be a standard tool for subsurface mapping – and not only because of economic reasons. Two-D and 3-D seismic surveys are complementary in land environments, because each data type has its own strength and weakness.
This volume will prove useful to anyone interested in the methods for observing and quantifying the pore systems that control hydrocarbon storage and flow in unconventional reservoirs. (Product #1281. Member price $144 / List price $339.)
The volume documents shale tectonics from a variety of basins around the world, including the southern Beaufort Sea; the Krishna-Godavari Basin, India; the Niger Delta; eastern offshore Trinidad; offshore Brunei; and along the Spanish arm of the Mediterranean Sea. Product #1023. Price: Member $99/List $139
A collection of both qualitative and quantitative data on deep-water outcrops from around the world, this volume contains 154 chapters, and includes papers on all seven continents and 21 countries. Product #736. Price: Member $189/List $239.
This 18-chapter volume is small enough to focus on the interplay among tectonics, sedimentation, and petroleum systems. Yet it is big enough to cover the diversity of structural styles in important petroliferous sedimentary basins around the globe. Product #1174. Price: Member $174 / List $174.
