'I quickly got caught up in geology — it appeals to the side of me that loves mystery stories,' he said. 'Geology is basically solving mysteries, except there is even less evidence than most detectives get. Petrography in particular is all about looking at little clues to put together to figure out whodunit.'

Tuesday, 21 May Wednesday, 22 May 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

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.
