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.
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.
Student awards for technical papers and posters presented at both last year’s AAPG International Conference and Exhibition in Perth, Australia, and this year’s Annual Convention in Long Beach, Calif., have been announced by the Convention Organizing and Student Chapters committees.
AAPG’s Distinguished Lecture program gets off to an early start this year with three international tours scheduled to take place in August.
Geophysicists define gas reservoirs as Class 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on their P-P amplitude-versus-angle (AVA) response.
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.
Imagine your comfort level when drilling a well if you knew with absolute certainty there were hydrocarbons in the target reservoir. This is not a pipe dream.
Technical award winners have been announced for presentations at last year’s AAPG International Conference and Exhibition in Perth, Australia.
“Geopolitics and headlines have been controlling oil prices for easily the past seven years,” noted Michael J. Economides.
