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.
I first wrote about the Keystone XL pipeline in this column back in September 2010. At the time, the project was nearing the end of a review by the U.S. Department of State for a Presidential Permit.

Analysts, consultants and government agencies have issued their outlook for oil and gas and the rest of the energy industry for 2024. This time around their confidence level is lower than usual, with significant unknowns in supply, demand and price. Here's what to expect and trends to watch.
The oil and gas industry is currently dealing with both a “green” or environmental problem and a “red” or cash flow problem. Both are significantly impacting investors.
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.
A piece of the Osage oil history is vividly portrayed in Martin Scorsese’s latest award-winning film “Killers of the Flower Moon." Here's a look at the history of the Osage and the way that oil discoveries have impacted their lives and environment.
