Explorer Emphasis Article By David Brown

Learning the Business of Petroleum Geology

“Geologist entrepreneur.” That’s a title many petroleum geologists have taken on in the past few years – sometimes with careful planning, sometimes unwittingly. Three successful geologist entrepreneurs will share their experiences, advice and wisdom, along with ten other speakers in a special session at AAPG’s 2018 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Salt Lake City.

Interview with William Feathergail Wilson, Trailblazers in Geology Series

Maintaining a deep understanding of the rocks themselves is at the heart of petroleum geology, and nowhere is it more evident than at the wellsite, where the cuttings provide a detailed story of not just the petrophysical qualities of the formation, but also give clues to the depositional history.

Explorer President’s Column By Charles Sternbach

Keepers of the Flame

Providing energy to the world is a heroic journey. In my preface to the 2017 DPA publication “Heritage of the Petroleum Geoscientist,” I wrote that the philosopher Joseph Campbell described that the world has a few stories, and many storytellers. The “Hero’s Journey” starts with a call to adventure, overcoming trials (think of the Greek character Odysseus), and returning to tell the story.

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.

Oh What a Night!

One cannot overemphasize the importance of understanding the data – how it was generated, where it came from, how it was manipulated and massaged, and whether the conclusions drawn are supported by the data or if is there overreach.

DL Abstract By Jennifer Wilcox

The Role of Carbon Capture in Meeting Net-Zero Carbon Goals

President Biden has laid out a bold and ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the United States by 2050. The pathway to that target includes cutting total greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and eliminating them entirely from the nation’s electricity sector by 2035. The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will play an important role in the transition to net-zero carbon emissions by reducing the environmental impacts of fossil energy production and use – and helping decarbonize other hard-to abate sectors.

DL Abstract By Alex Simms

Interactions Between Ice Sheets and Relative Sea Levels: Lessons From Antarctica and NW Scotland

Local sea-level changes are not simply a function of global ocean volumes but also the interactions between the solid Earth, the Earth’s gravitational field and the loading and unloading of ice sheets. Contrasting behaviors between Antarctica and Scotland highlight how important the geologic structure beneath the former ice sheets is in determining the interactions between ice sheets and relative sea levels.
