Facies and stratigraphic architecture of the Upper Devonian–Lower Mississippian Sappington Formation, southwestern Montana: A potential outcrop analog for the Bakken Formation

This study describes the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Devonian–Mississippian Sappington Formation in exceptional outcrop exposures in southwestern Montana. The goal was to assess the extent to which these outcrops could be used to define stratigraphic heterogeneity of time-equivalent Bakken Formation reservoir and source rocks of the Williston Basin.

Moving Beyond Bias

Do you tend to favor people who look like you? Do you make judgments without understanding why? Questions like these are the subject of research by Carlee Beth Hawkins, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Springfield and researcher with Harvard University’s Project Implicit, an international organization studying attitudes, thoughts and feelings held outside conscious awareness and control. (Originally published in AAPG EXPLORER April 2018 issue.)

Life is Change, and That's OK

A common way to understand the relationship between seismic attributes and petrophysical properties is by the use of rock physics templates, or simply by cross-plotting well log-derived elastic attributes against a color-coded petrophysical property.

Taking Fundamentals into the Future

This, the first Annual Convention of AAPG’s second century, is officially designated “ACE 101: Bridging Fundamentals and Innovation.” Vanden Berg explained that the May 20-23 meeting will “provide an opportunity to return to the rocks and to remember the importance of fundamental geologic concepts, but also to look to the future, to harness and embrace new technology and innovation.”

Learning the Business of Petroleum Geology

“Geologist entrepreneur.” That’s a title many petroleum geologists have taken on in the past few years – sometimes with careful planning, sometimes unwittingly. Three successful geologist entrepreneurs will share their experiences, advice and wisdom, along with ten other speakers in a special session at AAPG’s 2018 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Salt Lake City.

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.
