The Fabric, or Internal Structure, of Rocks: Part 2

Part 1 of this series explained that the wave acquires the symmetry of the rock: by examining azimuthal travel times and amplitudes, we document the symmetry of the wave and learn of the symmetry of the rock.

Geology Merit Badge Program at the Summit

The books have closed on the successful 2017 Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree. The 2017 program offered scouts two different settings to learn about geology. A team comprised primarily of AAPG Member geologists volunteered their time to lead the geology program at the event.

Explorer Director’s Corner By David Curtiss

Energy Dominance and the Outer Continental Shelf

Energy dominance is how the White House described the Trump Administration’s emerging energy policy in mid-2017. With expanding U.S. oil and natural gas production coupled with growing exports to global markets, the muscular language signaled a notable policy shift from the previous administration, and a desire to leverage the nation’s petroleum resources for its economic and security potential.

Explorer Emphasis Article By David Brown

Mexico's Sureste Basin

The resurgence of the Permian Basin in the United States led directly to the concept of the “super basin”: a mature basin that can be rejuvenated to produce as much or more oil and gas than it has so far. Another archetype for super basins lies 1,000 miles southeast of the Permian, in the onshore/offshore Sureste Basin of Mexico.

Explorer President’s Column By Charles Sternbach

Fueling Prosperity with Bold Initiatives

As President John F. Kennedy famously said in his 1962 speech at Rice University in Houston, difficult challenges serve “to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.” I am happy to report that the super basin concept I wrote about in my July column is working to focus energies and skills within AAPG.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
