A billion-barrel field in a thousand places?
After years of 'wheeling and dealing' international oil companies are finally beginning to sink exploratory wells in the Caspian Sea. Could the 'exploratory well of 1999' meet that prediction? The next two years should prove it.
Excitement grows as international companies jockey for position in the world's hottest play -- West Africa's deep water field.
AAPG awards are presented to individuals recognizing their service to the profession, the science, the Association and the public. Heading the list is Gerald M. Friedman who has been named to receive the Sidney Powers Memorial Award, AAPG's highest honor.
The basement fault block pattern started last month continues. This month the author attempts to substantiate the claim that many oil and gas fields are controlled by basement. Some geologists may concede that the evidence for underlying basement control is convincing.
In the past decade AAPG's Distinguished Lecture program has become a global effort. The 1999-2000 speaker season, fully support by the AAPG Foundation to keep the costs low, is combining with SEG for the first jointly sponsored Distinguished Lecturer.
What's the attraction? Oil -- and lots of it. Libya's combination of enormous oil fields and large areas that are only lightly explored attract international investors.
Best technical presentations at an AAPG annual meeting for both students and members have been announced for the recent conference in San Antonio.
In early 1998, Miller Energy of Kalamazoo, Mich., scored one of the best Ismay algal mound discoveries of decade in the southern Paradox Basin.
There is an increasing interest in the use of attributes derived from 3-D seismic data to define reservoir physical properties such as presence and amount of porosity and fluid content.
The carbonate sequences that were deposited in the now exhumed Tethyan Ocean influence many aspects of our lives today, either by supplying the energy that warms our homes and the fuel that powers our cars or providing the stunning landscapes for both winter and summer vacations. They also represent some of the most intensely studied rock formations in the world and have provided geoscientists with a fascinating insight into the turbulent nature of 250 Million years of Earth’s history. By combining studies from the full range of geoscience disciplines this presentation will trace the development of these carbonate sequences from their initial formation on the margins of large ancient continental masses to their present day locations in and around the Greater Mediterranean and Near East region. The first order control on growth patterns and carbonate platform development by the regional plate-tectonic setting, underlying basin architecture and fluctuations in sea level will be illustrated. The organisms that contribute to sequence development will be revealed to be treasure troves of forensic information. Finally, these rock sequences will be shown to contain all the ingredients necessary to form and retain hydrocarbons and the manner in which major post-depositional tectonic events led to the formation of some of the largest hydrocarbon accumulations in the world will be demonstrated.
