GCAGS - Shreveport, Louisiana - September, 2009

“Strategies for Optimized Oil Recovery in Fluvial-Dominated Deltaic Reservoirs in the Lower Woodbine Group in East Texas Field”, by William A. Ambrose, Tucker F. Hentz, Florence Bonnaffé, Robert G. Loucks, and Fred P. Wang in the session “Structure & Lithostratigraphy: Old Fields and New Plays”

 



Ursula Hammes and Rob Reed presented their latest STARR-sponsored research on shale-gas systems at the US Gulf Regional Mudstones as Unconventional Shale Gas/Oil Reservoirs Applied Geoscience Conference, which was organized by the Houston Geological Society and the Energy Mineral Division of AAPG in Houston. The sold-out conference was attended by 400+ geoscientists and engineers from industry and academe. Ursula presented a talk on "Sequence Stratigraphy, Depositional Environments, and Extent of the Haynesville Shale, East Texas," and Rob presented a talk with co-author Kitty Milliken titled "Particle Sources and Mudrock Properties: Contrasting Examples from Cenozoic Mudrocks of the Gulf of Mexico and Paleozoic Siliceous BEG Centennial
Mudrocks of the North American Mid-Continent." The two talks were well received, even amidst the variety of presentations on mudstones, which ranged from the history of mudstone geology to organic geochemistry and industry examples on shale-gas plays by both academe and industry.

Lana Dieterich The STARR team is welcoming Jessica Hinton as their new database analyst to the group. Jessica has excellent experience in managing Excel and Access databases that will her help keeping track of STARR’s revenue neutrality matrix. Her tasks also include providing support on various energy-related databases. Her background as geologist and laboratory technician specialist will help the STARR team and other entities of the BEG. Please welcome Jessica on the 3rd-floor in one of the newly built offices.
