Larry Nation, AAPG’s communications director, sent me a press release about a study conducted by two University of California-Davis civil and environmental engineers, recently published in Environmental Science & Technology. Their study concluded that global oil will run out 90 years before the technology to replace gasoline and diesel fuel is ready.

The Datapages library is one of the largest petroleum geoscience digital libraries in the world. It contains all of AAPG’s publications – including the special publications. In addition, over the past 10 years AAPG has offered to digitize the publications of Affiliated and Associated societies and those of the Sections.

First, I want to thank everyone who has stepped up to provide assistance in these first six months of the 2010-11 fiscal year to move the DPA Business Plan forward. The DPA held its mid-year meeting in Houston in November, and from all accounts the meeting was very successful – so thanks to everyone who provided input into this meeting. Second, I’d like to provide to you the status of the DPA’s key goals for this fiscal year.

Seismic contractors are continually searching for methods that will expedite seismic data acquisition – which is why several efforts have been made over the past three decades to develop procedures that will allow vibrators to shake simultaneously at different source stations, with the data being recorded by a common receiver grid.
