This article discusses how the United States and other countries will dispose high-level radioactive waste. The challenge is finding ways of storage that provides adequate protection for hundreds of thousands of years.
The Yucca Mountain in Nevada is a proposed geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste. According to John Stuckless, 'the plan is sound from an earth science perspective'.
Operators big and small continue to grab attention for their efforts in the high-profile Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin.
This year’s Distinguished Lecture program, funded in part by the AAPG Foundation, will offer 14 lecturers largest slate of speakers in the program’s history– nine domestic and five international.
Just because someone else 'made it' in the Barnett Shale doesn't guarantee another will have the same sort of success in this complex geologic play.
AAPG’s Distinguished Lecture program wants to cover the world with talks that are serious, challenging and, sometimes, just plain fun. Included is announcements about the Distinguished Instructor program.

Since 1984 the Reservoir Characterization Project at Colorado School of Mines has been working on shale reservoir development. RCP began its first study at Silo Field, Wyo., recording the first land 3-D multicomponent (9C) seismic survey focused on characterizing the Niobrara fractured reservoir. The result of RCP’s work led to the first horizontal drilling in the Rockies in 1990 and led to the drilling of the most successful well in the field.
