AAPG has frequently been asked to provide testimony to state and national lawmakers. Listed here are the printed statements provided for the record before the United States Congress.
A fundamental aspect of any energy policy is a credible assessment of the nation’s energy natural resources. As a representative of the 30,000 member American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), I have been invited here today to testify as to the credibility of the oil and gas resource estimates of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Minerals Management Service (MMS).
Thank you, Chairman Cubin, for the opportunity to provide the view of the petroleum geology community on this important issue. I am Marlan Downey, President of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG).
