Explorer President’s Column

January’s President’s Column in the EXPLORER covered creative and collaborative space in exploration to “recycle” or revitalize petroleum basins for an economic industry. February’s column discussed development and enhanced oil recovery to maximize recovery of reserves for an optimized industry. This month’s column, in turn, addresses the third, and an increasingly important aspect of sustainable petroleum development: carbon capture, use and storage for a viable industry.

When one lives in Louisiana, even in the northern part, February and early March are full of tidings of “laissez les bon temps rouler!” or “let the good times roll!’’ Only geoscience nerds like you and I would apply that to May’s exceptional 2019 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in San Antonio. So, start these good times rolling now by registering early on or before March 21 for a great discount.

The AAPG has its own prestigious awards for highest technical achievement at the Annual Convention and Exhibition – the best paper awards. That’s the silver Matson Cup, which resides permanently at the AAPG headquarters in Tulsa. Winners of the best paper presented orally at each ACE are honored with the George C. Matson Memorial Award at the following annual convention, and their names are engraved on the Matson Cup.

While artificial intelligence and data-driven innovation seem to be making significant strides in many industries over the past few decades, specifically in areas of workflow automation and helping to reveal hidden insights from various data, there is a widespread sense within the industry that its pace in oil and gas is not progressing as rapidly.

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.
