Explorer Article By Kelsy Taylor

One of AAPG’s newest volumes was released just in time for the 2016 Annual Convention and Exhibition. “The Eagle Ford Shale: A Renaissance in U.S. Oil Production” continues the memoir series as Memoir 110. The volume describes the evolution in geologic understanding that quickly transformed a world-class source rock into a world-class reservoir, which produced 1.7 million barrels of oil per day.

Oil States Suffer Brunt of Downturn

The current downturn in the oil and gas industry slammed into parts of the United States like a locomotive. For many oil and gas-producing states, the impact was immediate and substantial. But for U.S. cities hit by the industry’s troubles, it’s been more of a slow-motion train wreck.

Geochemistry of formation waters from the subsalt Tubular Bells Field, offshore Gulf of Mexico: Implications for fluid movement and reservoir continuity

Two of the 10 Miocene sands in the Tubular Bells oil field, offshore Gulf of Mexico, are connected. Highly saline water from the deep Louann salt and dissolution of nearby salt account for the large variation in formation water chemistry as determined by isotopic and chemical analysis.

EOR Method Creates Market For Carbon Emissions

A positive aspect to price downturns is that they provide the gift of time to develop new, more efficient technologies to enhance anticipated upswings. To this end, improvements in the realm of already existing technologies, such as enhanced oil recovery applications, are underway given the anticipation for higher demand and prices in the future.

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.
