Don't believe it when some of the pundits tell you South Louisiana is 'all drilled up.' Indeed, there's compelling evidence that the onshore region harbors a vast storehouse of hydrocarbons yet to be tapped by the drillbit.

Continuing the dialogue on my objective of 'A Value Proposition for AAPG' and my theme of 'Value, Value, Value,' I have prepared a list of important issues that I will pursue this year. Although these items are mainly a result of my life-long career experiences, they also reflect feedback from many members on the questions I have been asking for many months:

Tuesday, 21 May Wednesday, 22 May 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

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.
