The following publications were produced by the Energy Minerals Division and are distributed through AAPG's Store. Also included are publications on EMD-related topics.
AAPG Datapages and the AAPG GIS Publications Committee wish to thank Katharine Lee Avary, the Department of Energy’s Eastern Gas Shales Project (EGSP), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the AAPGF-OSU Geoscience GIS Consortium for allowing the Devonian Shales of the Appalachian Basin GIS Dataset to be posted on Datapages’ GIS Open Files page, thereby making it available to the public as a free download.
Courtesy of Peter Wawick and the USGS for allowing the Geologic Assessment of Coal in the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Plain, U.S.A., to be posted as a GIS Open file. This is the fifth in a series of reports by the U.S. Geological Survey on the assessment of the quantity and quality of the nation’s coal deposits that potentially can be mined during the next few decades.

This memoir contains 15 well-illustrated, peer-reviewed chapters that describe the history of field development, the deposition and diagenesis of the reservoir rocks, geophysical characteristics of the field, special core analysis techniques used to better quantify the reservoir, petrophysical characteristics and interpretations of the reservoir, the types and abundance of natural fractures, and fluid production characteristics in the field. Finally, static and dynamic models for the field are presented in an attempt to integrate all the pieces of this giant geologic puzzle.
The volume documents shale tectonics from a variety of basins around the world, including the southern Beaufort Sea; the Krishna-Godavari Basin, India; the Niger Delta; eastern offshore Trinidad; offshore Brunei; and along the Spanish arm of the Mediterranean Sea. Product #1023. Price: Member $99/List $139
This volume expands and improves the AAPG 1978 classic, A Color Illustrated Guide to Carbonate Rock Constituents, Textures, Cements, and Porosities (AAPG Memoir 27). Product #649. SALE Price $24 (Regularly priced: Member $48 / List $68)
This volume is an ultimate resource for reading the story and history of fractures in rocks from core. It is a “must-have” volume for all who have, or wish to have, an intimate knowledge of the rocks they work with from a fracture point of view. (Product #1300. Member price $150 / List price $150.)
This volume will prove useful to anyone interested in the methods for observing and quantifying the pore systems that control hydrocarbon storage and flow in unconventional reservoirs. (Product #1281. Member price $144 / List price $339.)
