Explorer Issue

October 2018

It’s our annual International Spotlight issue. We cover the looming “exploration conundrum” presented by the expected increase in global oil demand coupled with the lack of exploration in recent years. We also look at the growing E&P opportunities in Mexico and Bolivia, and some technological advances and other developments made by Saudi Aramco. This issue also includes a commentary offering evidence for climate change.

Cape Town, South Africa will be the venue for this year’s AAPG International Conference and Exhibition, Nov. 4-7. Lion’s Head mountain overlooks the “City Bowl,” and it’s just one example of the dramatic geology of the region.
