Discoveries Are Getting Smaller

Oil and gas discoveries of the 90s were significant in location but less so in size. How does this impact the future? 'To meet the current annual demand ... and the demand ... in 2010, new production must originate from a variety of sources...,' says Robert Esser, director of Global Oil and Gas Resources with Cambridge Energy Research Associates.

It's a 'Frontier Play' In Green River

About five years ago a leader in horizontal drilling teamed with the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy and Technology Center and GRI in a $10 million research project. Their goal: Evaluate the technological and economic feasibility of drilling horizontal wells in fractured, but very-low permeability sandstone three miles below the sage brush flats of southwestern Wyoming. Today the team can now point to an unqualified success with the UPR Rock Island 4-H horizontal well.

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.
