The prediction of organic-rich reservoir facies within the Late Pennsylvanian Cline shale (also known as Wolfcamp D), Midland Basin, Texas

This study evaluates the suitability of well log response to predict occurrence and organic richness of Cline shale depositional facies, an unconventional reservoir in the Permian Basin. Successful horizontal drilling correlates well with the most organically enriched petrofacies.

Geochemical characterization and classification of crude oils of the Permian Basin, west Texas and southeastern New Mexico

Analysis of 50 oil samples indicate the presence of 5 genetic groups in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. The results of the study have established a fundamental basis for developing play combinations, which embrace genetically similar oils.

Super Basins of the Future

Super basin applications and analogs continue to drive the future. As we learn more about them, we discover how valuable super basins are to exploration and development. As a result, AAPG continues its initiative to showcase some of the world’s greatest petroleum basins with the fourth Global Super Basins Leadership Conference.

A Lesson from Big Bouton

The environment is in your face this year. Here in Los Angeles, we had one of the clearest springs that I can remember. All because the COVID-19 virus resulted in a huge shutdown of most everything that took us outdoors. Come summer and the fires struck the western states. The air turned brown and the visibility went to nearly zero. It stayed that way all the way to summer’s end. This was a huge wakeup call on how sensitive the atmosphere is to changes brought about by aerosols. This brings to mind a story about the biggest tourist attraction in the greater Los Angeles area in the late 19th and early 20th century.

The History of Deepwater Exploration, Part 2

During the 1980s, early prospecting in deepwater margins was the simple extension of prolific updip producing basins that were charged. However, the migration of petroleum exploration and development into deepwater was fraught with challenges. For engineers and geologists, one of our biggest challenges was to overcome our collective lack of understanding about the geology of deepwater. We had to revisit everything we thought we knew, one paradigm shift after another.

Forging Our Path: Women and Leadership in Today’s Geoscience World

The AAPG Women’s Network and the SEPM student community co-hosted a panel discussion in October with AAPG Executive Committee officers. While we addressed many of the audience’s questions during the event, we ran out of time before answering all of the important submitted questions. The panelists decided to share responses with the greater AAPG community through the EXPLORER.

Lighting the Fire of Geoscience Education

Paul Mann, 2020’s AAPG Grover Murray Memorial Distinguished Educator Award recipient, knew the question was coming: What is the joy and challenge of teaching? It’s a question with which he’s been challenging himself for years. “Overall, my view of education is to figure out ways to get students excited about interesting areas and topics,” he said. Mann, who is currently a professor of geology, tectonics and petroleum geology at the University of Houston, knows that the level of excitement – whether it comes from the instructor or the student – isn’t the only consideration, though, in a successful educational model.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
