Explorer Article By Louise Durham

It would make an appropriate theme song for the oil and gas industry. Just take an old tune popularized by that enduring pop trio from the '60s, and add new lyrics: Where have all the prospects gone? Unfortunately, this is for real, and it's nothing to sing about.

AVO Boosted Field Success Rate

No matter how mature the field, geoscientists seem to always come up with either a new technology or another twist on the tried-and-true to pull more hydrocarbons out of the reservoirs. When commodity prices are looking good, producers have an added incentive to use the technology to go after deeper targets and also explore for smaller ones in producing trends that historically have been exploited at shallow depths.

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.
