CO2 Puts New Fizz in Old Field

New 3-D seismic data and the injection of CO have given new life to a 100-year-old oil field in Wyoming.

Barnett at Core of Career

Dan Steward takes pride in doing a good job yet without calling attention to himself. That’s no small achievement. That play was the big reason why Steward was cited as the Explorer of the Year at the recent AAPG Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif.

Explorer Geophysical Corner By Bob Hardage,Michael DeAngelo

S-Waves and Fractured Reservoirs

In last month’s Geophysical Corner we showed that fracture orientation across fractured-reservoir intervals can be determined by azimuth-based analyses of S-wave velocities and reflection amplitudes.

Gas Shales Tricky to Understand

The success of technological plays such as the Barnett Shale and other shales has proven the potential of shale-gas resources -- and if the recent number of technical sessions, short courses and workshops on gas shales is any indication of its significance, gas shales will be an important component of the world gas supply in the future.

S-Wave Analysis of Fracture Systems

Most rocks are anisotropic, meaning that their elastic properties are different when measured in different directions.

Fractures: A Deal Maker or Breaker

Students at the University of Calgary’s Department of Geology and Geophysics integrate maps and data to help predict where open fractures will deliver oil and gas to well bores from subsurface reservoirs.

EMD Has Active Houston Program

The Energy Minerals Division is excited to present its technical program and activities for the upcoming AAPG Annual Convention in Houston April 9-12. EMD has a very attractive program and both EMD and AAPG members will be treated to a variety of technical sessions, short courses and a lignite field trip.

VG Abstract By Juan I. Soto

Salt versus Shales in Continental Margins and Orogens

In comparison with the known boundary conditions that promote salt deformation and flow in sedimentary basins, the processes involved with the mobilization of clay-rich detrital sediments are far less well established. This talk will use seismic examples in different tectonic settings to document the variety of shale geometries that can be formed under brittle and ductile deformations.

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.
