Graduating geology students want jobs. Exploration and production companies need young geologists.
AAPG's Distinguished Lecture program, which only a few years ago became a truly global effort, is ready to once again cover the planet with speakers for the 2001-2002 season.
The reality of significant natural gas potential found in the Great Lakes region of North America continues to emerge, and states bordering the lakes are becoming yet another battleground for the U.S. energy debate.
Petroleum exploration is a 'repeated trials game.' Whether you are a career prospector generating a succession of drilling deals, or exploration vice president of an oil and gas company overseeing an annual prospect portfolio, you are engaged in a series of risk ventures whose individual outcomes are each uncertain.
National price spikes. California rolling blackouts. Clearly, the issue of natural gas supply and demand commands serious attention in the United States.
Recently, as the volcano 'Popo' outside of Mexico City began to show some activity, geologist David Howell had a question: 'What would happen if there was a major eruption?'
The handful of major international oil companies that negotiated concessions with the Angolan government in the early to mid-1990s seem like geniuses today.
In the not-too-distant past, independent oil and gas producers who ventured into the international arena to search for hydrocarbons were a rarity. Today? There's nary a raised eyebrow when even the smallest of players announces an overseas project.
Development is under way in the Gulf of Thailand on a giant gas field that's a testament to patience, compromise, perseverance and vision; two small countries and one independent oil company are set to reap the rewards of a project that started in the early 1970s.
The current shortage of drilling rigs, skilled personnel and drilling prospects serves to focus the spotlight once again on the cyclicity of the E&P business. As usual, however, the oil finders are devising creative solutions to their problems, particularly when it comes to buying and selling high quality drilling prospects.
