Explorer Geophysical Corner By Eduardo Trinchero,Ignacio Rovira,Luis Vernengo,Maximiliano Garcia Torrejon

One of the first questions a seismic interpreter must ask is how to recognize and characterize the reservoir. Understanding the geology and the depositional history of the area is a good start.

Closing Out the Centennial with an Inspirational Conference

The sun shone on London in mid-October as AAPG continued its centennial celebration with our final major event of the year at the 2017 International Conference and Exhibition (ICE). And that shining sun was a harbinger of a great conference, as more than 2,000 attendees from across the globe gathered to teach and learn about the science, the industry trends, and catch a glimpse of the future of the next 100 years of oil and natural gas exploration.

Clouding the Issue of Global Warming

Maybe drawing a line in the sand isn’t the best approach to climate change, especially when the sand is shifting. A paper published in the journal “Nature Geoscience” in September theorized that the Earth might be warming a little less than climate models have predicted, by 0.3 degrees Celsius (0.54 degrees Fahrenheit).

Stratigraphy, facies, and evolution of deep-water lobe complexes within a salt-controlled intraslope minibasin

A succession of four deep-water lobe complexes deposited within a salt-controlled minibasin have been imaged in unprecedented detail on high resolution, high frequency 3D seismic reflection data. The ponded interval was deposited over approximately 2.7 m.y. and consists of four discrete sequences, each of which contains one lobe complex. > Oct. 23 2017 12:00:00 am -- Original publish on date

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.

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.
