As this issue of the EXPLORER arrives in your mailbox, a group of AAPG members has just finished another Geosciences Congressional Visits Days in Washington, D.C.
During this annual pilgrimage to the U.S. capital, AAPG members gather with members of our sister geoscience societies to talk to policymakers and their staff about the importance of the geosciences to society.

The key elements for shale resource evaluation are the mineral content – such as clay, quartz and calcite – the total organic carbon (TOC) content, the brittleness and some mechanical properties of the shale rocks. Geomechanical studies are necessary both for understanding wellbore environment stability and also interpreting well log data, by estimating the mechanical properties of the subsurface.

This year’s AAPG Foundation Professor of the Year, AAPG member Joseph Satterfield of Angelo State University, had a unique problem when he first arrived at the school. There wasn’t a geology department – well, not much of one, anyway.
