Five internationally acclaimed geoscientists have been named for this season’s AAPG Distinguished Lecture program, the Association’s flagship offering of cutting-edge geoscience excellence that once again will be accessible to everyone, everywhere, at any time.
Congratulations to Paul Weimer, Martha Lou Broussard, Fred Schroeder, Margot and Ned Timbel and the many other AAPG Award Winners who will be recognized at the 2020 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in Houston, June 7-10. Paul Weimer is the recipient of the Association’s highest honor, the AAPG Sidney Powers Memorial Award. Martha Lou Broussard joins him at the top of the awardees list as this year’s Michel T. Halbouty Outstanding Leadership Award recipient.
I am super-thrilled to be starting a two-year term as AAPG Europe Region president. The AAPG is a global force for good in our industry, and frankly, after 35 years exploring for oil and gas around the world, I needed to stop taking AAPG for granted. There’s a lot to be done, but we have a great team and are looking forward to some cracking events and activities this year.
The AAPG Student Poster Competition began in 1996, when a single first-place award was given to Ian Robert Gordon of UT Austin for his poster. Since then, the program has expanded, soon including international schools, leading to 2019, when four awards were given, some to international students. Jack Kenning, a second-year doctoral student in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department at UH, won with a poster entitled “Controls of Cenozoic Mass Transport Deposits on Hydrocarbon Prospectivity of the Mexican Ridges Fold-Belt, Western Gulf of Mexico.”
A game-changing discovery has been made in China with the successful completion and production of terrestrial shale reservoirs, which have maintained a natural flow for more than 260 days. This success ushers in a new era for China’s successful development of its complicated, deep, lacustrine-origin shales.
Mountains and beaches. Colonial cities, farming communities, indigenous villages. Central Eastern Mexico is full of diverse cultures and landscapes. It is also home to the Tampico-Misantla super basin, a 25,000-square-kilometer area that has produced oil since 1869.
Changes in relative sea level are often cited as the principal control on sediment distribution, stratal architecture, and the overall development of continental margins. Implicit to the assumptions of sequence stratigraphic models are that sediment supply is constant, the depositional system response to relative sea-level change is linear, and autogenic processes operate at relatively short spatio-temporal scales. Field studies, numerical, and physical tank experiments suggest these assumptions may not adequately characterize the behavior of sediment routing across continental margins
An old joke used to be told in Israel: Why did Moses so unwittingly lead the Jewish people to the land of milk and honey and not to one of its petroleum-rich neighbors? Not anymore. In the last decade, giant gas fields have been discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea offshore Israel, and offshore gas is rapidly becoming the main source of energy for power generation.
The challenges of the Mina El Carmen Formation can be overcome by evaluating the application of various interpretation tools and special processes, so that the reservoir sands can be detected and visualized in terms of their geometry, orientation, extension, thickness and position in the stratigraphic column.
A strategy gaining force to reduce risk and improve decision-making in recent years is “integration,” the practice of combining disparate teams to complete single projects. Integrated teams are increasingly common in the energy sector, where single business units include geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, engineers and other professionals who work on a common project.
The AAPG Southwest Section presents the 2020 Bill Hailey Memorial Short Course in Arlington, Texas. Dr. Lesli J. Wood will be speaking on "Subaqueous mass failures: Processes, Deposits and Implications of their occurrence in exploration and production of energy resources".
The AAPG Southwest Section presents the 2020 Bill Hailey Memorial Short Course in Abilene, Texas. Dr. Lesli J. Wood will be speaking on "Subaqueous mass failures: Processes, Deposits and Implications of their occurrence in exploration and production of energy resources".
The AAPG Latin America & Caribbean Region and the Colombian Association of Petroleum Geologists and Geophysicists (ACGGP) invite you join us for GTW Colombia 2020, a specialized workshop bringing leading scientists and industry practitioners to share best practices, exchange ideas and explore opportunities for future collaboration.
The 2-day workshop brings together technical experts and industry leaders from Colombia and throughout the Americas to take a multidisciplinary look at future opportunities for exploration and development of Southern Caribbean Frontier Basins.
This e-symposium presentation places the interpretation of deep-water turbidites discernible in 3-D seismic inversion data within a geological context.
The course will review core data, petrophysical comparisons, rock physics modeling (including pseudo logs and mechanical properties).
There are more approximately 1,000 oil and gas fields in the world that have been classified as "giant," containing more than 500 million barrels of recoverable oil and /or 3 trillion cubic feet of gas.
This e-symposium focuses on methods for predicting connectivity within clastic fluvial systems.
This e-symposium will be introducing signal processing techniques as a means to maximize extracting geomechanical data from petrophysical logs.
The Niobrara Petroleum System of the U.S. Rocky Mountain Region is a major tight petroleum resource play.
This presentation is designed for exploration/production geologists and geological managers or reservoir engineers.
This e-symposium is ideal for geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other geoscientists who are involved in gas shale exploration and production.
This presentation will focus on the seismic stratigraphic and seismic geomorphologic expression of deep-water deposits, including both reservoir and non-reservoir facies.
This course can help you gain the ability to describe the complex and highly variable reservoirs, which are typified by complex internal heterogeneity.
