What Is the Mid-Continent Section of the AAPG?

AAPG’s Mid-Continent Section was established in 1965 and comprises nine geological societies or associations located within the U.S. mid-continent states: Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, the Texas Panhandle and the northwest two-thirds of Arkansas. The Section is bound together both geographically and geologically by mostly being a province with oil and gas production, primarily derived from Permian through Ordovician age reservoirs.

Cretaceous Mega-Storms, Unexpected Submarine Mass Failures, Tsunamigenic Hazards and More in Physical Models: Interview with Lesli Wood

You may not be aware that there was a super-Greenhouse environment during the Cretaceous, and that there were super-storms associated with it, and that analyzing the sediments deposited during that time can provide insight into the potential warming of climates, and also the cross-shelf transport of sediments. That is just one of many fascinating new areas of research that looks at data through new lenses, and with new analytical techniques. Welcome to an interview with Lesli J. Wood, Weimer Distinguished Chair and Professor in Sedimentary and Petroleum Geology, Colorado School of Mines.

Oil and Gas Scorecard in the 114th Congress

The 114th Congress accomplished few of its oil and gas-related legislative goals, in spite of the fact that Republicans, who generally support fossil fuel development, held the majority in both the House and Senate – the first time since the 109th Congress (2005-07).

Improving Resolution and Clarity With Neural Networks

Using supervised neural networks for mapping reservoir properties can improve resolution as demonstrated by the PNN Zp inversion, or using such networks for classifying variable lithologies can improve clarity as established by the seismic object detection result.

Starting the New Year and a New Century

September is the practical beginning of the year – for many in North America, at least: the beginning of the school year for those with school-aged children, the beginning of the program year for many affiliated societies and the beginning of many AAPG-related events.

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.
