Many Voice Disapproval

To say that much of the world's paleontology community disagrees with Chas Cartwright's management moves at Dinosaur National Monument would be seriously understating the outcry. Scientists from all over the world have voiced their disappointment at this decision and are asking the NPS to reconsider the cuts.

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.
