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.
For more than 100 years, shale oil has referred to the product of pyrolysis of oil shale, whereas oil shale refers to organic rich (kerogen) rock that has never reached the oil window.
Shale List Grows: Production from unconventional reservoirs, particularly shale, has been a boon to U.S. domestic natural gas stockpiles.
The third dimension: Continued improvements in new technologies such as 3-D seismic are helping some companies deal with the cost of successful shale exploration.
Early detection: A Canadian geophysicist is finding success by incorporating existing 3-D data to determine fracture networks in the Bakken Shale.
Here, there and everywhere: For the first time, cable-free self-contained nodal systems are being used in an onshore-offshore combination – and in a challenging location.
For the beauty of the earth: Canadian geology professor Nick Eyles has become an award-winning media sensation thanks to his books and TV series that entertain and inform the public by showcasing the best of earth’s geologic wonders.
Frigid temperatures and blizzard conditions moved across Europe in early February, setting new records – and as temperatures fell, gas prices from the main pipeline in Russia rose to the highest levels since 2006.
