A Sustainable Future with Good Resource Stewardship

When one lives in Louisiana, even in the northern part, February and early March are full of tidings of “laissez les bon temps rouler!” or “let the good times roll!’’ Only geoscience nerds like you and I would apply that to May’s exceptional 2019 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in San Antonio.

Geotech is Fastest Growing Job Field

On the surface, the employment outlook for geoscientists in oil and gas looks wonderful. The projected job-growth percentage for geologists remains in double digits, reduced slightly by softer oil prices. That’s still better than most other occupations and impressive for a well-paying profession. But petroleum geologists don’t make their living on the surface. Drill deeper and some mitigating trends become apparent.
