Explorer President’s Column

When I chose sustainable development as one of the themes when I stood for AAPG president-elect in 2016, it was to define the role of petroleum geoscience in the energy transition. This highly visible and unified message by petroleum companies underscores the importance of our industry’s role in providing accessible, affordable and reliable energy.

I keep this phrase posted on my workstation. It is a constant reminder that optimism is one of the greatest skills we can possess as petroleum geologists. Optimism toward our future, our prospects, our companies and ourselves is a key to success in our careers as professional geologists.

Owing to the unique performance characteristics in unconventional reservoirs, gas/oil ratio models, which are predictive in conventional wells, may or may not be accurate in determining the success or failure of the unconventional.

Explorer President’s Column

January’s President’s Column in the EXPLORER covered creative and collaborative space in exploration to “recycle” or revitalize petroleum basins for an economic industry. February’s column discussed development and enhanced oil recovery to maximize recovery of reserves for an optimized industry. This month’s column, in turn, addresses the third, and an increasingly important aspect of sustainable petroleum development: carbon capture, use and storage for a viable industry.

When one lives in Louisiana, even in the northern part, February and early March are full of tidings of “laissez les bon temps rouler!” or “let the good times roll!’’ Only geoscience nerds like you and I would apply that to May’s exceptional 2019 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in San Antonio. So, start these good times rolling now by registering early on or before March 21 for a great discount.

The AAPG has its own prestigious awards for highest technical achievement at the Annual Convention and Exhibition – the best paper awards. That’s the silver Matson Cup, which resides permanently at the AAPG headquarters in Tulsa. Winners of the best paper presented orally at each ACE are honored with the George C. Matson Memorial Award at the following annual convention, and their names are engraved on the Matson Cup.

As part of the international effort to combat global warming, significant attention is being given to ways to sequester (store for the long-term) carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. This one-day course will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a detailed review of the SRMS framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storage volumes.
