On the concept of “discovery,” Sir Issac Newton was quoted to say that, “If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”
In offshore areas such as the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, it’s not uncommon for oil emanating from source rocks to bypass natural trapping mechanisms and leak upward to the seafloor.
Today’s high product prices and demand for oil make tertiary recovery projects important and even necessary. Carbon dioxide injection, better known as CO2 flooding, is a technique of choice for enhanced recovery from older oil fields. Ironically CO2 tertiary recovery projects and sequestration research are stymied by the same, restrictive problem: There isn’t enough CO2.
Examples of deep-water outcrops, as examined in AAPG Studies in Geology 56 is a publication that exposes some exposures that matter a lot to geologists.
Once more we are at the start of a new fiscal year for AAPG -- and once again it arrives after an extremely busy year for AAPG.
Groups both pro and con battle passionately over offshore drilling in many regions of the United States -- and they battle so intensely that perhaps everyone is overlooking an obvious solution.
It’s not a “little fish” kind of exploration start-up. Cobalt International Energy LP of Houston plans to go after some of the biggest fish in the world, in some of the deepest waters explored.
Spring has been a busy time for DEG with the AAPG Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif., and the Southwest Section meeting in Wichita Falls, Texas.
The AAPG award winners for best technical presentations at the recent Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif., have been announced.
It doesn’t take an official proclamation to recognize that unconventional hydrocarbons have catapulted to the top on the oil patch buzz-o-meter scale.
