The 2019 AAPG / EMD Unconventional Research Group Meeting

Tuesday May 21, 2019 7:15 pm – 9 pm Room 214 A in the San Antonio Convention Center. It is on the Meeting Room level of the convention center. This year we are focusing on how much petroleum comes from come from outside the landing zone / reservoir (and the implications for inventory, spacing, etc.). The first three talks address this issue as well as the problems associated with geochemical techniques that attempt to quantify out-of-zone flow. Alton Brown will follow with a talk that builds on last year’s conversation about pressure generation during petroleum generation and explusion.

Communicating Through Controversy

Hydraulic fracturing and earthquakes, volcanoes and climate change. Hardly a day goes by without geological issues of some kind or another making the news.

So what is a geoscientist’s role in this increasingly connected society? Who is responsible for answering tough questions about the energy sector’s impact on the environment? Iain Stewart is an expert on these questions.
