Explorer Article By Barry Friedman

Exploration Opportunity in the Outer Continental Shelf

There are approximately 90.55 billion barrels of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and a mean of 327.58 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered technically recoverable natural gas in the federal outer continental shelf of the United States. That’s according to a report issued by the United States Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The exploration possibilities of all that, if not endless, are pretty encouraging.

Support Grows for U.S. Carbon Tax

Is the United States about to get a tax on carbon emissions? Advocates of carbon pricing seem optimistic, even confident, that the U.S. Congress will legislate a carbon fee or some other form of emissions restriction. And this comes with surprisingly little public discussion of the issue.

The Exploration Transformation

The world is awash in oil at the moment, but with chronic underinvestment in exploration coupled with global energy demand steadily rising, the stage may be set for an oil price spike in the years to come, according to some analysts. Others, on the other hand, predict that improved production methods and project efficiency will go a long way toward meeting supply demands with existing reserves.

Heat flow and thermal conductivity measurements in the northeastern Pennsylvania Appalachian Basin depocenter

The northern Appalachian Basin depocenter of Pennsylvania represents one of the most economically important hydrocarbon-producing areas in the United States; yet, the thermal conditions that promoted hydrocarbon formation within the basin are only marginally constrained.

Utah Oil Shale Closer to Becoming a Reality

On September 26, 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued their Record of Decision (ROD) to approve a 14-mile long “energy corridor” across public lands in Uintah County, Utah to support development of a planned 27,000 acre South Project oil shale mine to be developed by Estonia-based Enefit American Oil. The ROD followed a six-year environmental study and preparation of the Final Environmental Impact Study issued by the BLM following extensive public comment.

41st Annual Trustee Associates Meeting

Nestled between Idaho’s Boulder-White Clouds and the Sawtooth Range, between a batholith and Paleozoic sediments, and the volcanic Snake River Plain is a narrow, linear hollow known as “Sun Valley.” Sun Valley has been a seasonal home to many celebrities, including American novelist Ernest Hemingway, and champion skiers since the late 1930s. And for a few wonderful days in August, Sun Valley Resort was home to our Trustee Associates for their annual meeting.

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.
