Petroleum Geology

Petroleum Geology plays an important role in today's society. Petroleum Geologists are the men and women who know how to read the story told by the very earth beneath our feet in order to find oil and natural gas, which are vital resources in our lives. Politics and prices often overshadow the story of what happens before the oil and gas ever reaches the headlines. 

These web pages are built and maintained by actual geologists, who want to share with you their passion for the Earth and what they do. They want to answer your questions about where oil actually comes from and share their role in exploring the wonders of our planet. Their goal is to help you better understand the history of oil and gas exploration and the role oil and gas plays in today's world. Who better to talk about these topics than the very people who search for and discover oil and gas?
