The Grammys and the Academy Awards all have been given, and now it’s our turn on the red carpet.
This is a place that’s historic, innovative, hugely resourceful and enormously complex. When it comes to energy, California has it all.
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.
My co-author for this month’s column is Jim McGhay, AAPG Treasurer. Later this month, you will receive your dues statement, where there are two items that might attract your attention. We address them here.
A team player: 3-D seismic technology is more than just a stand-alone tool – its true value shines when it is combined with other well data.
An added dimension: 3-D seismic data is an essential ingredient in operators’ efforts to understand the risks and nuances of shale plays.
Geoscientists and others working the booming plays of Latin America know experience is a great tool.
If you have a pulse and have been to an AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition (ACE) over the past couple of years or so, or a recent AAPG International Convention and Exhibition (ICE) such as those held in Calgary or Milan, you would have noticed.

For readers, it was a little more awkward.
Carbon capture and sequestration reduces emissions, but it cannot work past cost barriers without the revenue opportunities provided by utilization and storage.
