A paper presented in Houston by Richard G. Harris and Mark Cooper dealing with remote sensing has earned them the George C. Matson Award for the best oral presentation at an AAPG annual meeting.
And now, for something completely different: Seismic is being used in Belize to help archaeologists reconstruct the events that led to the disappearance of the Maya.
If you could listen to a heartbeat of the geophysical industry today, you might be tempted to call 911. While not yet to the life support stage, the health of this sector might best be described as poor and still declining.
BULLETIN makes room for more science.
The great state of Texas has an illustrious history in the oil industry, not only as a producer of giant oil and gas fields but also as the birthplace of an amazing list of giants in the profession of petroleum geology. Many of these have been recognized by AAPG over the years.
DPA Forum: As the new century gains momentum, the industry pace quickens. This dynamic has impacted the way business is done today.
Heaven-sent blessings? Geologists discuss the exploration potential of impact craters.
Deepwater Operations: An executive session will look at the risks, rewards and obstacles involved — from a variety of perspectives — in bringing deepwater finds on line.
AAPG announces new Memoir released
Adventure: Last year he led a record-setting ascent of the world's tallest mountain, but Pasquale Scaturro, AAPG's unofficial 'mountain man,' has more adventures planned.
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.)
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.
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 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.
