It’s unusual for researchers to predict where future exploration will discover elephants, the world’s largest oil and gas fields. It’s even more unusual when they turn out to be right.
It’s a complex and competitive world for exploration. Expensive, too.
The Energy Minerals Division is excited to present its technical program and luncheon for the AAPG Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif., April 1-4.
Described as 'Gondwana's enigmatic twins' -- exploration in Africa and Latin America faces challenges above ground as well as below.
Quantity, not quality: The past year saw only a few jaw-dropping discoveries, but some important world developments opened new areas, bolstered existing production and provided a solid foundation for the future.
Vitor Abreu, AAPG’s inaugural international Distinguished Instructor, will offer his presentation in November, starting with a two-day stop at the Associacó Brasileira de Geólogos de Petröleo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Nov. 9-10.
Arnold H. Bouma, who has a sequence named after him because of his discovery of dividing deepwater turbidites into intervals, has been named the 2007 recipient of the Sidney Powers Memorial Award.
Earlier this summer I traveled through Europe with then President-elect Lee Billingsley and European Region President John Brooks. We were taking a tour that started in Oslo, Norway, then headed to Moscow and ended in Vienna for the EAGE annual meeting.
It was not so long ago that time lapse, or 4-D, seismic was a technology that kind of hovered in the background, being applied only in specific situations, such as when a reservoir began producing erratically rather than as predicted.
Summer NAPE was a sizzlin’ event at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston -- which was sizzlin’ in a whole different way during the “dog days” of late August.
This volume sets out to understand more about the convergence of geology, 3-D thinking, and software, which collectively provide the basis for truly effective interpretation strategies. Product #1280. Price: Member $74/List $148.
Comprised of 48 chapters, this Memoir covers the biostratigraphy, ichnology, stratigraphy, depositional facies, diagenesis, and petroleum and mineral resources of the GACB. Product #787. Price: Member $184/List $304.
This Memoir presents a chapter on each main geological discipline involved in unconventional plays, and provides five case studies describing the workflow to obtain production. The ultimate goal of this Memoir is to contribute to the comprehension of unconventional plays by sharing the rich outcomes of our “socio-scientific” experiment of coopetition.
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.)
