Being involved as an officer in the DPA has truly opened my eyes to the importance we play to the organization and most importantly to our members. It has been a great pleasure for me to work with the people that really make the organization work.
CERA was a diverse and dynamic week. A record-breaking 4,500 CEO’s, leaders, energy ministers and global representatives from more than 70 countries attended the March 4-9 event to ponder the future of the industry. And this year, AAPG got to play an important role in this conversation.
A common way to understand the relationship between seismic attributes and petrophysical properties is by the use of rock physics templates, or simply by cross-plotting well log-derived elastic attributes against a color-coded petrophysical property.
AAPG presidents’ job description includes following global industry activity, visiting different parts of the world and attending AAPG events. The International Pavilion, a staple at AAPG annual conventions and international conferences since 1994, enables them to accomplish these tasks simultaneously.
This, the first Annual Convention of AAPG’s second century, is officially designated “ACE 101: Bridging Fundamentals and Innovation.” Vanden Berg explained that the May 20-23 meeting will “provide an opportunity to return to the rocks and to remember the importance of fundamental geologic concepts, but also to look to the future, to harness and embrace new technology and innovation.”
“Geologist entrepreneur.” That’s a title many petroleum geologists have taken on in the past few years – sometimes with careful planning, sometimes unwittingly. Three successful geologist entrepreneurs will share their experiences, advice and wisdom, along with ten other speakers in a special session at AAPG’s 2018 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Salt Lake City.
Find out why so many companies are including Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and Austin Chalk in their 'must-have' producing properties. With a full day of talks, posters, and a networking reception, the AAPG Playmaker Forum on the Hayneville and Eagle Ford will bring together the knowledge you need to share in the success of these very dynamic, company-making plays.

Providing energy to the world is a heroic journey. In my preface to the 2017 DPA publication “Heritage of the Petroleum Geoscientist,” I wrote that the philosopher Joseph Campbell described that the world has a few stories, and many storytellers. The “Hero’s Journey” starts with a call to adventure, overcoming trials (think of the Greek character Odysseus), and returning to tell the story.
With the U.S. Department of the Interior calling for updated assessments of the oil and gas resources on Alaska’s North Slope, most surprisingly the tightly regulated 1002 Area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, geologists are preparing for the possibility of exploring a frontier believed to be rich in hydrocarbon resources.

One of the main objectives of petroleum exploration consists of predicting reservoir location. Data collected in the basin are used to better understand the sedimentary architecture, but are usually insufficient to accurately characterize this architecture.
