Two Data Reduction Schemes: A Shallow Oil Field Example

Geoscientists with “too much” data can either choose which data attributes are best, based on some tabulation or crossplot, or attempt to combine different data sets in a linear-based process such as cross-plotting. We review two progressive approaches to systematically reduce data dimensions while synthesizing a best attribute from an ensemble of seismic input attributes.

A History of the Energy Minerals Division of the AAPG: Part 2

The Energy Minerals Division celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2002. The Division emphasized to the AAPG membership that it was AAPG’s center of activity on energy minerals and unconventional energy resources. EMD originally focused primarily on coal, uranium, geothermal energy, oil shales and tar sands. However, its focus expanded and in 2002, EMD’s most active unconventional resource areas were coalbed methane, gas hydrates, and unconventional energy economics.

Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists Update

Earlier this year, in a surprise move, the Texas Sunset Advisory Committee recommended to eliminate the Texas Board of Professional Geology and repeal the Texas Geoscience Practice Act. Local Texas geoscience organizations and societies mobilized quickly to protest this decision and move forward.

What Does the Election Outcome Mean for the Oil Industry?

November’s midterm elections in the United States brought a split decision and gave the country a divided Congress. The potential effect of the vote on the oil and gas industry and U.S. energy policy is also a toss-up, according to some analysts.

Hydrocarbon Microseepage: Recent Advances, New Applications, and Remaining Challenges

We are pleased to announce that AAPG has scheduled this research conference to be held June 18-20, 2019 in Houston, Texas. Convenors for this conference are Dr. Dietmar (Deet) Schumacher (GeoField Services, Paris) and Dr. Gary K. Rice (GeoFrontiers Corp., Dallas). The past two decades have seen not only a continued interest in the topic of hydrocarbon microseepage, but have resulted in ongoing development of new and novel exploration technologies and applications. These have led to improved integration of geochemistry with geology, geophysics, and remote sensing, and have resulted in more efficient exploration and development strategies. We hope to bring together 70-90 international experts from industry, academia, and government to review the state of knowledge of hydrocarbon microseepage in light of the new body of data and insights gained in the past two decades and current research directions.
