'Hands On' Teacher Cited

'I still love biology, but more and more it is geology ... that gets me excited.' Designing her classes with hands-on activities similar to those shared in the AAPG-AAPG Foundation-sponsored 'Rocks in Your Head' conference, Peggy Lubchenco teachers her junior high students about the surrounding area's geology.

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.

Real Time Data A Problem-Solver

Real-time well analysis that takes place during actual drilling helps manage deviations that are too small to detect with seismic data, but could interefere with drilling. 1998 Pacific Section H. Victor Church awarded for a poster session on a project in Ventura, California, shares the 'Advantages of Real Time LWD Dipmeter Data.'

Seeps Give a Peek Into Plumbing

Oil and gas seeps have provided resources that have been recorded everywhere. Their importance led to a symposium, field trip and workshop on this topic at this year's AAPG Pacific Section meeting. Drawing earth scientists from across the United States and around the world, it served as a forum for the development of a plan for the global analysis of fluid seeps.

When It Comes to Money, Investors Like What They See

Rare is the financier who can look at a 2-D map and visualize the pertinent data in three dimensions. But when a 3-D model is available, the folks who deal with capital can better understand complex geological concepts by actually seeing fault closure, stratigraphic traps and such, thereby leaving less to the imagination.

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.
