All the World’s a Stage

For the past 20 years, the International Pavilion has been a standard fixture in AAPG’s annual convention and flagship international conferences. Visitors to the IP expect to see maps and flags and hear a variety of languages spoken in the area dedicated to connecting countries with hydrocarbon and mineral resources with companies seeking to explore and produce them. At the 2021 AAPG/Society of Exploration Geophysicists’ International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy taking place in Denver this month, the traditional rows of white exhibitor stands will be replaced by a 60-square-meter IP Theatre showcasing energy opportunities around the world.

Industry Changes Mean New Job Opportunities

The petroleum industry has changed and is under attack. Many want to stop production of carbon-based fuels. There is a logic to this if we look to the future. We need to sustain energy production and fill the holes in the current alternative energy industries like solar, wind turbines, geothermal and advanced batteries. This does not mean oil industry jobs will be eliminated. They will just change.

AAPG is Turning a New Chapter, In More Ways Than One

The opening chapter of a book holds such promise. The expectation – the hope – is that you’re about to experience something new. In some cases, it’s for fun and adventure. In others, it’s to learn and grow. Put yourself in the hands of a skillful author and the opening chapter is the beginning to a journey of discovery. And it’s been quite a journey for AAPG this year.
