Ocean 'Layer Zero' Valued

You know all that water that makes offshore seismic operations so ... inconvenient? A new application is allowing scientists to use that same seismic to study the 'layers' of that same water -- and the benefits could go far beyond the world of oil.

Geology Is Where The Contentment Is

My commute to the office from my house in Houston takes 30-45 minutes to travel five miles during rush hour traffic. As I sat in 'gridlock' recently, I recalled a very interesting conversation with Bob (not his real name) whom I met on the North Slope of Alaska at Kupark Field (adjacent to Prudhoe Bay).

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.
