Explorer Emphasis Article By Barry Friedman

The Permian Primacy

Its present lull notwithstanding, the Permian Basin has been a production behemoth for years. The archetypal super basin in West Texas is the primary growth driver in U.S. oil production and may become the largest oil patch in the world over the next decade.

Interview with Surina Esterhuyse, Geohydrologist. Innovators in Geoscience Technology Series.

Groundwater resources are valuable resources, especially in arid climates such as in South Africa where in a dry year they may receive no rain at all. Welcome to an interview with Surina Esterhuyse, who speaks to us about the special challenges facing water scarce countries and her particular experience in South Africa.

CSPG January 16 Technical Luncheon

Big Data, Analytics, and the Value of Diverse Perspectives- An Example from the Permian Basin, West Texas, USA Speaker: Denise M. Cox | AAPG President January 16, 2019 | 11:30 am doors open Companies have invested in accessing, cleaning, and managing big data from the petroleum industry. Powerful analytics now allow geoscientists and engineers to examine a petroleum basin’s diverse resource and long-term production potential. Knowledge of the raw data, ability to formulate insightful questions, and the experience to evaluate the answers are fundamental parts of petroleum data and analytics. It is the diverse perspectives and creativity of geoscientists in concert with engineering and technological advances that ultimately can create value.

Interview with Shipeng Fu, Knowledgette. Innovators in Training Series.

In the fast-paced world of technological innovations, training often has a hard time keeping up. In addition, the geoscientists and engineers who need to update their knowledge and skills are best served by on-demand micro-learning, which is both engaging and effective. Welcome to an interview with Shipeng Fu, Knowledgette (http://www.knowledgette.com), who has envisioned a training platform as well as content for on-demand micro-training, and which is free for AAPG members.

Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists Update

Earlier this year, in a surprise move, the Texas Sunset Advisory Committee recommended to eliminate the Texas Board of Professional Geology and repeal the Texas Geoscience Practice Act. Local Texas geoscience organizations and societies mobilized quickly to protest this decision and move forward.

Explorer Historical Highlights By Peter Rose

A Player in the Emergence of E&P Risk Analysis

By the time they are drilled, almost all exploratory ventures today will have been geotechnically, statistically and economically analyzed to estimate their ultimate recovery of oil or natural gas, or its EUR, and its present monetary value, or PV, given discovery. This process is generally known as “exploration risk analysis” and it evolved primarily as a response to an endemic problem: explorers were discovering less than half of the EURs they forecast for their investors.

Geothermal, Lithium, Hydrogen: New Energy from Subsurface Fluids Conference

For the first time, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Geothermal Rising are bringing together geothermal, critical minerals and gases to explore the connections between them, either in the formation of the reservoirs or reserves, or in exploring for, evaluating, and producing them. Specifically, the conference will bring together geothermal, lithium, geologic hydrogen, helium, iodine, and more in the form of technical presentations, probing panel discussions, poster sessions, and more.

DL Abstract By Isabelle Moretti

The Natural H₂ Exploration Started: Why, Where and by Who?

Why H₂ is generated in subsurface? Which are the reactions and the promising geological setting? Example in countries where H₂ have already been found: Australia, Brazil. Kinetic reactions: i.e., Is the natural H₂ renewable? What we don't know yet about this resource and about the H₂ systems (generation/transport/accumulation). Overview of the current landscape (subsurface law, permitting, E&P activity)
