AAPG Prospect and Property Expo

Appex London 2010From exploration trends to the future of financing, global frontier plays to the future of stratigraphic plays, you'll find a lineup of topics that cover the issues most relevant to the global A&D community at APPEX London. This year's event, 2-4 March 2010 at the Business Design Centre, also highlights Asia and the Far East, the Caribbean and South America, Europe and Africa. You'll also find two exciting new short courses: Lessons Learned and to be Learned from Unsuccessful Drilling and Petroleum Geology for Financial Professionals. Make plans today to participate as a sponsor, exhibitor or attendee. Read more..

Rich Petroleum Source Rocks

An inventory of petroleum source rocks in the world’s major sedimentary basins show that six intervals in the Earth's Phanerozoic history provided organic-rich sediments generating over 90% of world's conventional oil and gas discovered so far. Here we explore this issue.

Linking seismic response to geomechanics

This article discusses the linkage between 4D seismic responses and geomechanics. Exploitation of this relationship has helped reduce development costs and maximize recovery from the compacting Valhall reservoir.

Is Peak Oil Still a Concern?

The first of the Geocontroversies debates held at the Petroleum Geology Conference in London earlier this year brought up some interesting arguments and ideas around the concept of ‘Peak Oil’.

On AAPG, Oil, and Geoscience

Although geologists working in the industry have access to tremendous subsurface data, relatively few of the data become public domain, says Dr. John Lorenz, President of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.

Where does it all come from?

The existence of a source rock is a prerequisite for finding oil and gas. Without a source, the prospect, the play or the basin is bound to be “dry”. An understanding of both source rock distribution and maturation history is therefore key objectives for petroleum explorationists.

Using 4D Seismic

4D geophysics, in particular 4D seismic, has come of age. Repeated surveys with or without permanent receivers are now increasingly being used in monitoring production. This applies in particular to clastic reservoirs, meaning that one of the future challenges will be to make the technology also work for carbonates. Professor Dr. Martin Landrø now takes our questions.

Reality Hits Brazil’s Pre-Salt Play

Recent news of at least three dry wells and suspension of the Tupi extended well test illustrate some of the challenges facing the pre-salt play that Brazil's government has touted as having "no exploration risk." However, with the huge reserves already discovered, the frontier area remains a hot play.
