Explorer Geophysical Corner By Heloise B. Lynn

The Fabric, or Internal Structure, of Rocks

Geology is the correct starting point for any geophysical discussion in AAPG. This two-part article starts with the rock, progresses to the wave and concludes with our increased understanding of the rock. If you, dear reader, can stay for both parts, you will gain a basic understanding of how anisotropy in P-P seismic reflection data can add to our understanding of the rocks, specifically the reservoir, at depth.

Explorer Historical Highlights By Keith James

Not Written in Stone

The Plate tectonic paradigm – “the unifying theory of geology” – has just turned 50. In 2017, the Geological Society of London’s William Smith Meeting celebrated this historical occasion, perhaps with a touch of self-congratulation, but with little discussion of alternative ideas.

Validating novel boundary conditions for three-dimensional mechanics-based restoration: An extensional sandbox model example

Geomechanical restoration methods are dependent on boundary conditions to ensure geological consistency of the restored model in terms of geometry and strain. Classical restoration boundary conditions, such as flattening a datum horizon, may lead to inconsistent displacement and strain fields.

The Rise of BHP and Australia's Oil Fortunes

Australia’s first offshore well heralded a new era of hydrocarbon independence for a continent previously thought to have “the wrong geology” to host significant oil and gas deposits. This success did not come easily – the early history of oil exploration in eastern Australia was long and frustrating, and not very successful.

VG Abstract By Juan I. Soto

How Orogens Could Collapse Forming Sedimentary Basins: The Case of the Betic-Rif Orogen

The Betic hinterland, in the westernmost Mediterranean, constitutes a unique example of a stack of metamorphic units. Using a three-dimensional model for the crustal structure of the Betics-Rif area this talk will address the role of crustal flow simultaneously to upper-crustal low-angle faulting in the origin and evolution of the topography.
