'Sowing the Oil': A Little-Known Venezuelan Oil-Industry Initiative

Since the ‘40s, the stated objective of the Venezuelan government was to use oil revenues to diversify the economy and reduce poverty. The opposite occurred, which set the stage for the so-called “Bolivarian Revolution” in the late 1990s, the principal achievement of which was to reduce income disparities by making everyone equally poor. In contrast, a rather unique socioeconomic development emerged within the oil industry itself during the 1980s.

Harvey's Reach Extends Far Beyond Houston

When Hurricane Harvey brought disastrous flooding to the U.S. Gulf Coast, it threatened more than Houston residential neighborhoods. A significant part of the nation’s energy infrastructure is located inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and a network of production platforms and offshore pipelines stretches eastward from there to Louisiana and beyond.

DL Abstract By Sherilyn Williams-Stroud

Atmospheric and Social Climate Change: Implications for the Future Geoscience Workforce

Climate change is not only happening in the atmosphere but also in the anthroposphere; in some ways the former could drive or exacerbate the latter, with extreme weather excursions and extreme excursions from societal norms occurring all over the earth. Accomplishing geoscience for a common goal – whether that is for successful business activities, resource assessment for public planning, mitigating the impacts of geological hazards, or for the sheer love of furthering knowledge and understanding – can and should be done by a workforce that is equitably developed and supported. Difficulty arises when the value of institutional programs to increase equity and diversity is not realized.

DL Abstract By Fernanda Raggio

Shaping New Leadership in an Evolving Energy Business

The Energy sector is a changing business environment. Throughout the 20th century fluctuations of oil supply and demand produced changes in the barrel price that pushed the growth or shrinkage of the industry. In this 21st century, new challenges such as diversification of the energy mix, boosting gas demand, require the exploration of critical minerals and development of new technologies as well.
