WELCOME TO DENVER

On behalf of the AAPG and the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, we welcome
you to the Mile High City of Denver and the 2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition of
the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, its divisions and SEPM (Society for
Sedimentary Geology).

If you share a passion for the West, its history, its mountains and unfolding geology, then you
will want to be part of the vision for the energy future. Join us at the energy epicenter for
exploration of the trail ahead and the latest in discovery thinking and emerging global plays.

As you scan through this program book, you will be able to chart out an exciting expedition
rich in new ideas, networking and memorable experiences. You can choose from 1,000+
R. Randy Ray technical sessions or one of the special forums addressing hot topics ranging from shale gas to
deepwater plays, micro-seismic fracturing to alternative energy policy.

Hike through the exhibition terrain, where more than 200 exhibiting companies will
display the latest in technology and services. Cross trails with fellow geologists and energy
professionals from all over the world. Plan your trek to include legendary speaker T. Boone
Pickens at the All-Convention Luncheon and other visionaries at each of the Division
luncheons during the week — if seats are still available, that is.

There is no place like Colorado for memorable field trips and short courses that will put you
on the rocks. Enjoy the Mile High summertime environment and relax in the cool evenings
after exploring the foothills surrounding Denver.

So grab your backpack and jump into an invigorating setting for learning, new adventures and
reconnecting with valuable colleagues. And above all, get ready to have a great time. Imagine
your future!

Tough conditions,
smart solutions.
The world’s traditional energy resources are becoming harder and harder to reach. We know because we have
more than 30 years experience operating in challenging environments such as the North Sea.
Great depths, difficult terrain, complex geology and harsh conditions have made StatoilHydro an industry
specialist in understanding and overcoming less than perfect conditions. One thing this doesn’t change is
our commitment to the environment and the necessity to develop smarter energy solutions. In fact, more
geological understanding, research and development will go into the production of a barrel of oil tomorrow
than a barrel produced yesterday.

GREETINGS
Mayor John W. Hickenlooper
16th Street Mall pedestrian promenade.
On behalf of the City and County of Denver, we thank you for visiting the Mile High City
to attend the American Association of Petroleum Geologists 2009 Annual Convention &
Exhibition.
Now more than ever, it is crucial for us to explore new, innovative and unconventional ways to
feed the ever-growing demand for energy. As a former geologist, I understand the complexity
of the energy issues facing Colorado and the country, which is why we have worked hard to
transform Denver into a leader in the new energy economy. We have sought out renewable
energy companies and pioneered the use of LED traffic lights, saving us thousands each year.
Denver is also home to the first green fleet in the country, employing the use of hybrid, biodiesel
and pedicabs for park maintenance. Denver enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year — and
we’ve capitalized on that by promoting the use of renewable solar energy. We’re also launching
a citywide bike-sharing program later this summer that will have 1,000 bikes on the streets by
Spring 2010, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting alternative travel.
While you’re in town, we hope you’ll have some time to wander around our beautiful city
and see all we’ve done to adapt these new, emerging technologies to our everyday lives. There
is no shortage of cultural and recreational options, as the Mile High City boasts a variety of
attractions, including the 10-theatre Denver Performing Arts Complex and myriad shops,
restaurants, parks and outdoor recreation opportunities. From the 16th Street Mall pedestrian
promenade to one of the largest urban park systems in the nation to the Denver Art Museum’s
amazing new expansion, your options are endless.
I wish you a successful and thought-provoking conference, and hope you enjoy your stay in the
Mile High City.

an entertaining setting that will feature
music as well as multimedia displays of
Colorado’s majestic beauty.
The icebreaker celebration begins
immediately at the end of the session —
and you may find yourself dancing all
the way to the exhibition hall, led by an
encore performance of the choir.
This brief but powerful ceremony will be
the talk of the convention, so plan now
to arrive early for the entire session. Start
your Denver experience with a truly
Rocky Mountain high!

Management Forum:
Challenges for Global Energy
Demand — Short-Term Variability
and Long-Term Solutions
Date: Monday, 8 June
Time: 8:20 a.m.–11:40 a.m.
Location: Room 108/110/112
Co-chairs: P. O. Yilmaz and
S. Sonnenberg
The oil and gas industry continues to
generate opportunities via technological
innovations to enhance its success in
locating, extracting and transporting oil
and gas supplies to meet global demand.
Our industry is gearing to tackle the
future challenges by developing and
deploying high-tech solutions today. In
addition to conventional exploration,
industry is looking at unconventional
targets, including tight gas sands,
coalbed methane plays and shale gas.
The challenge is to develop cost-
effective technologies to recover more
conventional resources and to unlock
unconventional resources.
Moreover, new technologies aim not
only to find and extract these resources,
but also to reduce the environmental
footprint of their utilization and tackle
such issues as global climate change. As
the world’s need for energy continues to
increase, it is important that geoscientists
involved in exploration acquire the skills
to equip themselves for the increasingly
difficult search for both conventional and
unconventional sources of energy — all
of this tied to the current oil and gas

All-Convention Luncheon
The Future of Energy
Date: Monday, 8 June
Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m.
Fee: $40
Location: Four Seasons Ballroom
Don’t miss out on a convention tradition
that promises to be a highlight of
this year’s annual meeting. The All-
Convention Luncheon, an event
boasting compelling presentations as
well as outstanding food, will feature an
innovative and informative visit with
famed geologist, entrepreneur and media
energy spokesman T. Boone Pickens.
Pickens is an AAPG member who
continues to be a leading voice in
calling for development of effective
and affordable energy policies that
include alternate energy sources. He is
a legendary businessman, philanthropist
and, for the past year, a prominent
national media presence on energy
matters. His presentation about the
future of energy will include a few
prepared remarks and a question-and-
answer session that will provide a lot of
answers to attendees’ questions.
Pickens unleashed a presidential
candidate-caliber public relations
18 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
T. Boone Pickens
campaign in 2008 to promote a sweeping
wind power plan that would transform
the U.S. energy mix and serve as an
energy bridge to the future. Promotion
of the so-called “Pickens Plan,” which
he personally bankrolled, is believed to
be among the largest public policy ad
campaigns ever launched, costing an
estimated $50 million.
Pickens also pushed his plan through
interviews, web sites and personal
appearances on national TV, radio
and magazine ads, thrusting him and
the subject of energy into the media
spotlight. In promoting his plan Pickens
often cited a U.S. Department of Energy
report that said 20 percent of the U.S.
electricity supply can be generated from
wind turbines in the nation’s “wind
corridor”— a vast stretch from West
Texas to the Canadian border. Pickens
said the wind corridor is called the
“ ‘Saudi Arabia of the Wind’…because
we have the greatest wind reserves in the
world.” He suggested the project could be
funded by private investors.
Under the Pickens Plan, power from
thousands of wind turbines could be
distributed throughout the country
via electric power transmission lines
and could fuel power plants in large
population hubs, he said. Fueling these
plants with wind power would then free
up the natural gas historically used to
power them — enabling natural gas to
replace non-U.S. oil as fuel for motor
vehicles.
Pickens also will receive the L. Austin
Weeks Memorial Medal, presented by
the AAPG Foundation, in recognition of
his support of the Foundation’s mission.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of what
should be an unforgettable session.
Forum: Discovery Thinking
(AAPG/DPA)
Date: Monday, 8 June
Time: 1:15 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Room 601/603
Co-chairs: C. Sternbach and E. Dolly
The “Discovery Thinking” Forum will
be the second presentation of the
AAPG 100th Anniversary Committee’s
program recognizing “100 Who Made
a Difference.” The Denver forum will
feature seven invited speakers who have
made a difference. They are: Bill Barrett,
Richard Findley, Steve Kneller, Doug
Strickland, Ray Thomasson,
Bob Weimer and Marv Brittenham.
Each is a legendary veteran of the
petroleum industry. They are all
renowned for their success in exploring
for and finding hydrocarbon reserves.
Each speaker overcame great challenges
and thrived in both business and
geological aspects of our profession.
Topics to be discussed will include
philosophy of exploration, lessons
learned from remarkable careers,
professional insights and some colorful
anecdotes. As technology advances and
a new wave of young geoscientists enter
our profession, we see continued interest
in forums such as this to discuss the
personal side of success and what has
been called the “art of exploration.”

The Michel T. Halbouty Lecture speaker will be Guilherme de Oliveira Estrella.
Under Dr. Estrella’s leadership, Petrobras has made several significant discoveries in
the subsalt targets in the Santos Basin during the past few years. These discoveries
are some of the largest globally of the past two decades; they will have significant
economic impact for the coming decades, as well as further the development of
concepts in deepwater exploration and sub-salt drilling.
Estrella graduated in 1964 from the School of Geology of the Universidade Federal
do Rio de Janeiro. At Petrobras, he has been the director of exploration and production
since 2003. He worked at the company from 1965 to 1994, when he retired as a
geologist of the exploration department. Before his retirement, he held several other
positions, including: general superintendent (1989-1993); superintendent of research
and development for exploration, drilling and production (1985-1989); head of the
exploration division (1981-1985); head of the organic geochemistry sector (1981);
head of the Brazilian East Coast Basin interpretation sector of the exploration
department — DEPEX/RJ (1978-1981); and exploration manager of Petrobras
Internacional S.A. — BRASPETRO for Iraq (1976-1978). Estrella was a member
of the board of directors of the controlled companies in Argentina, Petrobras Energía
Participaciones S.A. and Petrobras Energía S.A., until 2006. He was director of the
Brazilian Oil, Gas and Biofuels Institute from 1993–1994, and has served as chairman
of the board since 2003.
He has been a member of the board of directors of the subsidiary Petrobras Gás
S.A. GASPETRO since 2003 and served as member of the board of Directors of its
subsidiary, Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. TAG, from 2006–2008.
The source-to-sink analytical concept
(S2S) has expanded significantly with
academia, industry and government
institutions pursuing this holistic approach
to sedimentary systems due to its predictive
power and its quantitative modeling
approach. S2S tools and applications have
proven useful for both societal issues,
definition of new research directions and
better predictions of source, reservoir and
trap in oil and gas exploration.
This research symposium will present
a state-of-the-art overview of S2S
from the varied perspectives of leading
scientists in the field, plus case examples
of the S2S approach and the newest
research results.

John Hickenlooper,
geologist-turned
brewpub pioneer,
who had never run
for political office,
was elected Mayor of
Denver in 2003 and
reelected in 2007. In
April 2005 — less
than two years into his first term —
Time magazine named him one of the
top five “big-city” mayors in America.
Mayor Hickenlooper will speak
about the importance of maintaining
professionalism and high ethical
standards in everything that we, as DPA
members and professional geologists,
must maintain. Whether it be a simple
discussion with the public or testimony in
front of a regulatory body, consideration
must be given to maintaining the highest
professional and ethical standards.
Due to the increased public awareness
of energy and climate change, our
profession is increasingly being called
upon for scientific input and guidance.
Since taking office, Hickenlooper
has increased civic engagement and
participation throughout the city and
Denver metro region, building strong
bonds and partnerships that transcend
partisan and geographic lines. Under
his leadership, Denver hosted the 2008
Democratic National Convention,
showcasing the energy, spirit, values
and innovations of the New West and
earning widespread praise as the greenest
political convention ever.

Success Story
Date: Wednesday, 10 June
Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Fee: $40
Location: Room 210/212
Mike Jacobs, a
geoscientist with
Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc.,
will discuss how the
spirit of cooperation
and environmental
stewardship created
a win-win situation
that was recognized by the Department
of the Interior.
For the past 21/2 years, Pioneer
Natural Resources has proactively
and voluntarily committed more
than $6 million to design and build
22 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
a plume capture and remediation
system for the 426-acre Biere #1-22
Aquifer Restoration Project Site at the
East Poplar Oil Field in Montana. The
project team held numerous open and
constructive discussions and meetings
throughout the process with scientists
from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the Fort Peck Indian Reservation
Office of Environmental Protection. All
participants approached the meetings in
a spirit of cooperation with the common
goal of moving towards capture and
remediation of a brine plume that posed
a potential threat to the City of Poplar’s
public water supply.
As a result, the remediation team for
the Aquifer Restoration Project Site was
awarded the Department of the Interior’s
Environmental Achievement Team
Award in 2008, along with scientists
from the USGS, Fort Peck Tribes
Offices of Environmental Protection,
EPA, Bureau of Land Management and
the Bureau of Reclamation.
This presentation will cover both
the technical and “multiagency
cooperation” high points of this
example of environmental stewardship,
with an emphasis on how the spirit
of cooperation leads to success.
The presentation will also cover the
application of existing technologies
in new ways that may enhance the
optimization of restoration activities in
cleaning up oil field brines.
Jacobs has spent more than 25 years as
a geoscientist, including numerous years
in uranium, precious metal, and oil and
gas exploration in the western United
States and Texas for Noranda Mines,
Tenneco Minerals, Coastal Oil and Gas,
and Kerr-McGee Corp. Mike began his
environmental career as a hydrogeologist
at the NASA Johnson Space Center,
White Sands Test Facility, New Mexico.
After leaving NASA-WSTF, he
worked as a hydrogeologist for El Paso
Energy and later as a geologist with the
Department of Defense, Environmental
Restoration Group at Holloman Air
Force Base in Alamogordo, NM.
Jacobs has been with Pioneer Natural
Resources USA Inc. since 1997, where
he is currently managing numerous
groundwater and soil remediation
projects including high-vacuum, dual-
phase extraction, bio-sparge and bio-vent
remediation systems as well as managing
large pump-and-treat recovery projects
of produced-water brine plumes.

Unconventional Far-Out Petroleum
and Gas: Hydrocarbons from Mars
to Titan and Beyond
Date: Wednesday, 10 June
Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Fee: $40
Location: Room 705/707/709/711
Dr. Jeffrey S.
Kargel, adjunct
professor and senior
research scientist
in the Department
of Hydrology and
Water Resources
at the University of
Arizona, will discuss
what we can learn about the Solar System
from hydrocarbons.
Earth may be the Solar System’s poor
citizen in petroleum and gas deposits.
Though not expected to be sources of
hydrocarbons for people on Earth, when
people venture to Mars and beyond
extraterrestrial hydrocarbons — along
with ice, salts and other materials — will
be key resources.
Petroleum-like hydrocarbon mixtures,
natural gas and complex organic mixtures
are abundant in comets, carbonaceous
chondrite asteroids and on Titan as well
as other icy moons. On Mars, traces
of methane seeps from buried sources
that may be clathrate hydrates. The
fundamental origins of the Solar System’s
hydrocarbons, even those on Earth, started
with stellar nucleosynthesis and then
proceeded with condensation and photolysis
of star stuff in the interstellar medium.
Then nebula processes occurring during
formation of the Solar System produced
carbon-rich planets, icy moons, asteroids
and comets. From there it is thought that
the evolution of carbonaceous materials
diverged, with life and carbonate, petroleum,
gas and coal formation taking over on Earth
and at least abiotic chemistry affecting
the rest of the Solar System.
But are we too terracentric in thinking
that only Earth is the abode of biogenic
petroleum and gas? The evidence so far
points more toward abiotic processes
affecting extraterrestrial carbon, but this
might not be exclusively true.
In any case, today methane rain pours over
Titan’s surface, erodes river valleys and fills
lake basins while carbonaceous aerosols
drift down from the upper atmosphere.
Speculatively, acetylene glaciers may scour
Titan’s poles and benzene sand dunes
blanket the dry equatorial basins. Volatile
hydrocarbons cause comets to jet and split,
and help power geysers on Saturn’s tiny
moon, Enceladus.
Hydrocarbons are apt to be key geologic
agents from carbonaceous asteroids to icy
moons to comets. Hydrocarbons certainly
are treasure-troves of scientific information
on the history of the Solar System.
Dr. Kargel earned his B.S. in
geological sciences at Ohio State
University-Columbus and his Ph.D.
in planetary sciences at the University
of Arizona-Tucson. He is a founding
member of the Working Group on
Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in
Mountain Areas, sponsored by the
International Permafrost Association
and International Commission on
Cryospheric Sciences. He has written
two books, more than 70 peer-reviewed
papers and chapters, and more than 250
abstracts or articles for popular-science
media and technical publications.
Some of Kargel’s major research
interests are global climate change on
Earth and other planets, cryospheric
processes and landforms on Mars and
Earth, comparative planetology and
cosmochemistry.

Location: Centennial Ballroom F/G, Hyatt Regency Convention Center
Fee: Professionals $40;

Calling all text messagers! Almost half of the geoscientists hired into the energy
industry are women, yet many of these women leave. Their reasons are varied and,
until recently, largely unstudied. To identify and quantitatively analyze the causes
of this exodus, AAPG conducted a survey targeting women geoscientists of all
ages and at every stage of their careers.
Christine Williams Chandra Muller Julie A. Kupecz
From 2,048 respondents worldwide, AAPG has captured current workplace
“best practices” that are supportive of working women and that contribute
to employee satisfaction. The survey also points to issues that contribute to
employee dissatisfaction and that need to be addressed to maintain employee
diversity and retention.
University of Texas at Austin Professors Christine Williams and Chandra
Muller will present their analysis of the AAPG global workforce retention
survey data. Muller, professor of sociology, studies educational inequality
especially in the mathematics and science fields. Williams studies gender
discrimination and workplace inequality.
As we report key findings from the survey during this seminar, attendees will also
take part in a real-time survey using text messaging technology. Your responses
will be compiled and compared to the results from previous respondents.
Following the survey discussion, keynote speaker Julie A. Kupecz, Ph.D., Sr.
Technology Advisor, CO2 and CCS, with Shell Exploration and Production
Company will present on Career Ownership and Personal Opportunity in
Today’s Industry: Redefining Success.

When it comes to increasing our domestic
energy supply, we’re not caught between
a rock and a hard place.
One of the factors impacting energy prices is growing global demand. And one way
to put downward pressure on prices is to make more supply available. That’s why it’s
so important for America to make the most of the oil and gas deposits that exist right
here at home. ExxonMobil has invented a breakthrough technology that we’ve begun
using in the U.S. to access cleaner-burning natural gas locked in very tight, hard rocks.
We’re applying this technology to retrieve natural gas quicker, more efficiently and
with less environmental impact. Breakthroughs like this have the potential to increase
our domestic energy supply. In fact, by tapping just one of our U.S. gas fields, we could
produce enough gas to heat 50 million homes for almost a decade.

“ It’s important to have a supply of

cleaner-burning natural gas right here
in our own backyard. But American
natural gas supplies are often found
in tight rock formations that are difficult
to access, so new technology that can
unlock these resources is critical.”

 Energy security.
Powered by
natural gas.
Natural gas is one of the many resources that can
help us achieve energy security. BP is currently the
largest producer of natural gas in the U.S. To increase
its availability even further, we’re investing up to
$4.6 billion over 15 years in Wyoming and in Colorado’s
San Juan Basin. And to improve our nation’s onshore
gas production, we’ve made a strategic entry into
top-tier shale plays in the Arkoma Basin and
East Texas. Learn more at bp.com/us.

Location: Colorado Convention Center
Room 708/710/712
We will explore concepts, methods and
tools of petroleum geoscience, which
we use on a day-to-day basis to make
exploration decisions in the energy
industry. We will focus on how we make
decisions with limited information,
identify critical information in light
of multiple scenarios, evaluate risk vs.
uncertainty, maximize the value we get
from integrated teams, etc. To investigate
these topics, we will generate play
element maps, play summary charts,
cross-sections and play summary maps.
The course will combine lecture materials
and hands-on exercises, with an emphasis
on the exercises. The course will focus on
an applied problem in basin exploration.
Students will make play maps, evaluate
play risk and bid on prospective acreage.
Throughout the course we will stress the
importance of integration across disciplines
and scales, focusing on the interaction
and expression of fundamental basin
formation, fill and evolution processes
from regional to basin and play to
prospect scale. These discussions will
include consideration of plate motion,
paleogeography, stratigraphy, structural
deformation, sedimentology, rock
properties, subsurface imaging, burial
history and fluid migration.

SEPM ACTIVITIES
activity that periodically deposited thick
ashes across wide areas of the North
American continent. Ash discharge rates
peaked at >2,500 km3/m.y. in the Middle
Miocene and periodically deposited
ash blankets over the Great Plains that
were several metres in thickness. The ash
record onshore is well established and
age-dated. Ashes are particularly rich in
K2O and are dominated by glass shards.
Regional petroleum exploration well data
in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico record
distinctive volcaniclastic “ash” beds;
recognized via well cuttings and
petrophysical analyses. Ash beds are
radioactive, particularly Thorium
radioactivity, are commonly resistive and
are low density. Potassium radioactivity
also signatures ash content in sandy
and muddy lithologies and
chemostratigraphic studies also recognize
the ash influence in the Miocene
sediments; both muds and sands.
Stratigraphic analysis, using Nannofossil
and Foraminifera biostratigraphy and
petrophysical characterization, has
determined that up to 16 distinctive ash
beds punctuate the Miocene deepwater
turbidite sediments of the central and
eastern Gulf of Mexico.
These volcaniclastic beds are interpreted
as gravity flow deposits enriched in
ash material that was delivered via up
dip fluvial systems that drained the
Great Plains during the Miocene.The
deepwater Gulf of Mexico record of
ash deposits parallels the Great Plains
ash-fall stratigraphy. Single ash beds can
be in excess of 30 meters in thickness.
Calculations of ash content in the deep
water sediments indicates that nearly all
the ash that fell on the Great Plains was
flushed into the Gulf of Mexico.

The source-to-sink analytical concept
(S2S ) has expanded significantly with
academia, industry and government
institutions pursuing this holistic
approach to sedimentary systems due to
its predictive power and its quantitative
modeling approach. S2S tools and
applications have proven useful for both
societal issues, definition of new research
directions, and better predictions of
source, reservoir and trap in oil and gas
exploration. This research symposium
will present a state-of-the-art overview
of S2S from the varied perspectives of
leading scientists in the field, plus case
examples of the S2S approach and the
newest research results.

AWARDS AND HONORS
Sidney Powers Memorial Award
Marlan W. Downey
Citation: To Marlan W.
Downey, legendary oil
finder, renowned and
respected business leader,
a man who has reminded
us that “geology is a
science, exploration is a business,” and that
success begins with people.
Marlan W. Downey began his career
with Shell Oil in 1957. His first 20
years were spent in domestic exploration
and research. In 1977, he joined Shell’s
international business unit, where
he became vice president of Shell,
then president of Shell’s international
subsidiary, Pecten.
After a brief retirement, during which he
founded Roxanna Oil, he was recruited
by ARCO as senior vice president of
Exploration for ARCO International
in 1990. He was president of ARCO
International from 1992 until he stepped
down in 1997.
Following his time at ARCO, he joined
the University of Oklahoma as the
Bartell Professor of Geology and Chief
Scientist of the Sarkey’s Energy Center
until 2000.
Marlan has been a member of AAPG
for more than 50 years. He served as
AAPG President during 2000-2001, is
a Foundation Trustee, has served on the
Advisory Council, chaired numerous
committees and was twice selected as
distinguished lecturer.
He has published scores of articles and
contributed to a half-dozen books,
chaired the first Hedberg Conference
on “Seals for Hydrocarbons,” the first
Hedberg Conference on “Understanding
Risk in E&P,” the fifth conference
on “Unconventional Methods of
Exploration,” the Pratt Conference on
“Future Petroleum Provinces,” and the
first AAPG conference on “A National
Energy Policy” in Washington, D.C. He
was selected to provide the article on
“Exploration for Oil and Gas” for the
Encyclopedia of Energy.
Marlan was the first businessman to be
knighted by President Biya of Cameroon
for his services to that country. In 1995,
the University of Nebraska recognized
Marlan as a Distinguished Alumni.
Peru College bestowed an Honorary
Doctorate in Science on Marlan in 2001.
He was elected a Fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science and a Fellow of the Geological
Society of the United Kingdom.
The AAPG has awarded him the
Robert H. Dott Sr. Memorial Award
for best geologic publication. In 2002,
he received the Hedberg Medal for
outstanding scientific achievements, and
in 2007 was made an Honorary Member
of the AAPG. He has been honored
by the Houston Geological Society as
“A Living Legend in the Oil and Gas
Business,” and in 2005, was honored
as a “Legendary Oil Finder” by the
Petroleum History Foundation.
Marlan currently serves as chairman
of Roxanna Oil Company, teaches at
SMU in Dallas, and is active on several
industry, academic, and charitable
boards. He resides in Dallas, Texas, with
his wife, Marea, and has six children and
four grandchildren.

Michel T. Halbouty Outstanding
Leadership Award
M. Ray Thomasson
Citation: To
M. Ray Thomasson,
the quintessential
explorationist, enthusiastic
leader, contributing
visionary and mentor who
has dedicated his professional life to furthering
petroleum geosciences.
With an infectious enthusiasm,
Ray Thomasson has dedicated his
professional life to teaching petroleum
geology and advancing energy
exploration. No one has given more to
the geosciences than Ray. He is a born
leader, a visionary, and, of course, an
extremely successful explorationist. Ray
is a fitting recipient of the American
Association of Petroleum Geologists
(AAPG) Michael T. Halbouty
Outstanding Leadership Award.
Ray’s early life was spent in Columbia,
Missouri, where he attended public
school and later the University of
Missouri, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees
in geology. After two years as a U.S. Air
Force intelligence officer, he continued
his graduate education at the University
of Wisconsin, where he earned a Ph.D.
in geology. Both alma maters have
honored him with an Outstanding
Alumnus Award.
Ray was offered a job teaching
stratigraphy and paleontology at the
University of Illinois, but decided that the
challenges of the business world would
enhance his education before he returned
to the world of academia. He chose
to work for the Shell Oil Company in
Midland, Texas, as a junior geologist.
The evolution of Ray’s career with
Shell is a classic story of the ascent
of a capable person in a dynamic
environment. In 17 years Ray moved
through various management positions
including manager of geologic research
and head of corporate planning for the
Shell Group in London before being
appointed chief geologist. After serving
successfully in this role, he chose to seek
his fortune as an independent serving
as president for a number of smaller
growing companies.
Throughout Ray’s career he consistently
offered his knowledge and leadership to
the AAPG. He served on or chaired 14
standing committees, was a distinguished
lecturer, visiting petroleum geologist,
and taught a number of short courses.
He has presented papers and organized
technical sessions at regional, national
and international meetings.
2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition 109
AWARDS AND HONORS
Ray has deservedly received the
Distinguished Service Award and
Honorary Membership from the AAPG.
He served as our president in 1999–2000
— our millennium president. He was
president of the American Geological
Institute in 2003–2004 and received the
William Heroy award in 2006.
In 1991, Ray with his wife, Merrill
Shields, conceptualized and organized
Thomasson Partner Associates (TPA). It
was a unique concept where geological
specialists, geophysicists, geochemists
and engineers joined to form synergistic
exploration teams to explore for giant
accumulations of oil and gas. The
experience has been most gratifying to
Ray and Merrill.
Ray’s four daughters and Merrill lovingly
know that his life as a father, husband
and a visionary explorationist has been
exciting and successful. No one is more
deserving of the Michel. T. Halbouty
Outstanding Leadership Award than
M. Ray Thomasson.
—Robert D. Gunn
Honorary Member Award
Elizabeth B. Campen
Citation: To Betsy
Campen, effervescent,
determined and
persistent, she jumped
into the oil patch 20 years
late and never turned
back. Steep learning curves were the norm
for Betsy and her success was not only
personal but richly rewarded AAPG and the
Montana Geological Society.
Elizabeth B. Campen embraced
geology from the moment she heard
the definition when she was a student
in Massachusetts. A woman ahead of
her times, she wasn’t able to work in
her career for 20 years after her Smith
College degree was granted, as she
unfortunately believed her advisors
who said “girls don’t work in geology.”
She moved to the West, helped to run
a ranch in Montana and raised three
110 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
children in the interim. Then finally, she
looked around and said, “Oh, yes I can!”
In 1977 she attended an AAPG meeting
in Billings, Montana, and past president
Bruno Hansen took her under his wing,
gave her encouragement and mentoring,
as he did with many, and helped her
to start her own career path. She had
a steep learning curve. She did it all.
She worked hard with the Montana
Geological Society, taking all of their
continuing education courses and then
found work on well sites, in exploration
and as a consultant.
She served on many MGS committees
and became an officer and eventually the
MGS president. She didn’t stop there.
She chaired or co-chaired the AAPG
Section meeting in Billings twice.
Bruno appointed her to the AAPG
Public Outreach committee and she
didn’t look back. She has been an
active Delegate, a leader in the Energy
Minerals Division, has served on the
Membership, Reservoir Development,
Geophysical Integration, Public
Outreach, Computer Applications, GIS
Publications, and chaired the Youth
Educational Activities committees. She
also served as AAPG secretary in 1998-
1999 and was on the Advisory Council,
as well as serving as executive secretary
to the DPA and EMD.
Let’s backtrack for a minute. Can you
imagine the fortitude it took for a ranch
wife, born in 1936, 20 years out of touch
with this rapidly evolving profession, to
acquire the computer expertise to serve on
the Computer Applications committee
and to integrate modern computer skills
into her later life career? We all know
more renowned geologists who have been
daunted by this, but not Betsy.
Betsy loves to share geology with
children and has years of devotion to
Billings’ Science Fair, school programs,
and the Billings Gem and Mineral show.
In 1986 Betsy married Ted Campen,
a petroleum engineer, and they started
Campen Consultants, which seems to
preclude retirement for both of them, as
they continue their 24-year partnership
in oil and gas and most recently coal-bed
methane exploration.
Today we worry about the petroleum
geology workforce and recruiting young
geologists in a world where fewer and
fewer young people major in our science.
Betsy (Elizabeth) Campen is an
important model for AAPG and our
profession to embrace, as she can inspire
many women to return to the field, to
contribute greatly, and succeed with a
dusted-off degree. She is irrepressibly
determined and admirably successful.
—Robbie Rice Gries
Honorary Member Award
John G. Kaldi
Citation: To John Kaldi,
a great practitioner of the
geosciences and supporter
of the AAPG for his
tireless efforts and valued
contributions in research,
education, public outreach and professional
leadership.
This award truly reflects the range of
John Kaldi’s contributions in the fields of
research, education, public outreach and
professional leadership. He has brought
his special blend of energy, enthusiasm,
humor, organizational skill and sound
counsel to a range of initiatives in a
career that has taken him and his family
around the globe.
John was born in Budapest. Soon
afterwards his family emigrated to
Britain, then New York where he studied
for his B.S. and M.S. degrees (Queens
College, City University of New
York, 1976). He received his Ph.D. at
Cambridge University in 1980.
His career started with the Geological
Survey of Saskatchewan, where he
AWARDS AND HONORS
met his wife-to-be, Paula, an English
radiographer. They moved to Calgary in
1982 where John was a research geologist
for Shell. Next stop was Plano, Texas,
in 1987 as senior reservoir geologist
for ARCO. The family transferred to
Jakarta with ARCO in 1991, where John
characterized Indonesian reservoirs and
seals using capillary pressure analysis.
This applied research resulted in his
organizing two Hedbergs on Seals
(1993 and 2002), being a distinguished
lecturer for the Petroleum Exploration
Society of Australia (1995), receiving an
AAPG Special Commendation Award
(1997) and being selected as an AAPG
distinguished lecturer (2002–2003 and
again in 2009).
John has won a deserved reputation
in the field of education. He became
director of the National Centre for
Petroleum Geology and Geophysics
(NCPGG) at Adelaide University in
1998. NCPGG merged with the P.E.
Department to create the Australian
School of Petroleum (2003). Under
his leadership it became the largest
petroleum school in the southern
hemisphere with strong Masters and
Ph.D. programs. John is now the
chief scientist for the Cooperative
Research Centre for Greenhouse
Gas Technologies (CO2CRC),
remaining at the university as chair of
Geosequestration.
John played a key role in setting up
the Asia/Pacific region, serving as
secretary, president, Advisory Council
representative and House of Delegates
delegate. He was Oral Sessions chair of
the Bali 2000 and Technical Program
co-chair of Perth 2006 International
Conferences. A past chair of the
Regions committee, he currently leads
the Visiting Geoscientist program, and
his 2006 Distinguished Service award
gave further recognition for his industry
schools, and efforts in educating and
developing professional staff.
The family enjoys living in Adelaide;
Paula does a great deal of volunteer work,
daughter Ana is finishing her degree in
Law and International Studies, and son
Ben is in his third year of University. They
love the outdoor life, and John is also an
accomplished squash player.
—Peter Lloyd
Honorary Member Award
J. Michael Party
Citation: To James
Michael Party—proven
oil finder, beloved father,
and husband, true-
blue friend and tireless
volunteer who never fails
to give the best of himself with equanimity
and a smile.
If you ask Mike Party about his most
fulfilling experiences with AAPG, he
won’t tell you about being elected to the
Executive Committee as its secretary.
Or about the Distinguished Service and
Distinguished Member of the House
Awards he received a few years ago.
Nope. How about his term as president
of the Division of Professional Affairs?
Wrong again. Instead, Mike will tell
you how much fun he’s had through his
many years of service to AAPG.
He’ll tell you about the lifelong
friendships he’s made in the course
of volunteering not only for AAPG,
but for local and regional geological
societies as well. He’ll tell you that
someone else did all the work. That’s
the greatness and genius of J. Michael
Party—it’s all about the living and the
giving, and never about Mike.
James Michael Party—only child,
Missouri-born and bred. Unrepentant
child fossil collector, University of
Missouri-Rolla graduate, rabid KISS fan,
longtime Midland, Texas, resident and
geologist and geophysicist for Wagner
and Brown, Ltd., husband to Cathie and
father of three kids, Lauren, Michael,
and Robby (his greatest source of pride).
Despite his commitments as an
employee, spouse and dad, Mike finds
ways to volunteer his time, energy and
good humor to many organizations such
as the Permian Basin Section SEPM,
West Texas Geological Society and
Foundation, Southwest Section AAPG,
Permian Basin Geophysical Society,
Midland youth sports, UMR alumni
activities, Petroleum Club of Midland
and, of course, AAPG.
Mike doesn’t just serve as a professional
society volunteer: his peers demonstrate
their confidence and support in his
abilities by electing him to increasingly
important leadership positions, the most
recent being secretary to the AAPG
Executive Committee, a two-year
international office.
In case it sounds as if Mike’s perfect,
he’s not—every once in a while he
confuses one word with another. Don’t
even ask if he can spell. The tales of a
few St. Patrick’s Day celebrations will
remain unwritten. And oh, yeah—he’s
probably drilled a dry hole or two.
During the 2009 AAPG Annual
Convention in Denver, where he will
receive his Honorary Member award,
Mike will undoubtedly thank everyone
for what their friendship has meant to
him, and for how grateful he is for the
opportunities he’s been given.
But there’s one thing no one will ever
hear him say because it’s simply not
true, and that’s that his election to any
office, or the receipt of any one award,
is the crowning achievement of his life
or career. That honor is reserved for
friendships, and for memories and for
fine children sent out into the world.
So, Mike, it’s never about you—except
that right here, right now, it is. Sit
back and enjoy it for a minute.
Congratulations on your Honorary
Member Award. AAPG has never
bestowed its second-highest honor on a
truer friend.

AWARDS AND HONORS
Honorary Member Award
Peter A. Ziegler
Citation: To Peter
Ziegler, in recognition of
his pioneering leadership
and contributions to
integrated basin analysis,
resulting in new insights
into plate tectonic controls on the evolution
and hydrocarbon potential of sedimentary
basins.
Peter Ziegler’s career consists of 33 years
within the petroleum industry; 30 years
with Shell and 20 years of university
teaching and research.
Peter obtained his Ph.D. in 1955 from
the University of Zürich, Switzerland.
After three years of field work in Israel,
Madagascar and Algeria, Peter migrated
to Canada where he joined Shell as party
chief of a helicopter supported field
crew. During holidays in Switzerland,
Peter met and then later married his
wife, Yvonne, and returned with her to
the cold and long winters of Edmonton.
Realizing that summer fieldwork was not
conducive to family life, Peter converted
to subsurface geology, started to smell oil
and got the hang of it.
In 1970, the Ziegler’s transferred to
Shell International in the Netherlands
where Peter supervised exploration
activities in the newly established North
Sea oil patch. As the North Sea success
story unfolded, Shell and its partners
chalked up such major discoveries as the
Brent, Statfjord and Troll fields. Peter’s
responsibilities as exploration adviser
expanded stepwise to all Shell companies
in Europe, then South America and
ultimately worldwide.
Parallel to operational responsibilities,
Peter compiled his Geological Atlas of
Western and Central Europe, published in
1982. He toured the USA and Canada as
AAPG distinguished lecturer in 1986-
1987, speaking on the Evolution of the
Arctic-North Atlantic and Western
Tethys and later published an AAPG
Memoir on the same topic that resulted
112 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
in his receiving the Robert H. Dott Sr.
Memorial Award.
After nearly 19 years in the Netherlands,
Peter retired in 1988 and returned
with Yvonne to Switzerland. To
overcome post-retirement syndrome,
Peter prepared the 2nd Edition of his
Geological Atlas of Western and Central
Europe, published in 1990 during Shell’s
100 Years of Exploration anniversary. In
addition, he lectured at the University
of Basel and the Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam, carried out consulting
work and participated in international
research endeavors such as ILP and
EUROPROBE.
Peter’s publications found wide
recognition, as reflected by the award of
numerous medals and appointments to
several Academies. In 1995, he received
the AAPG Special Commendation
Award, he was appointed in 1996 as
Titular Professor in Basel and received
Honorary Doctor Degrees from
Moscow State University (1997) and
Technical University Delft (2001).
Peter has contributed enormously to
narrowing the gap between academia
and industry. Personally, I have learned a
lot from this unique man who influenced
my career and the direction of my
research. He has been, and still is, a
continuous source of inspiration, both
scientifically and personally.

Outstanding Explorer Award
Michael S. Johnson
Citation: To Michael
S. Johnson, for your
contributions to the
discovery of Parshall field
in North Dakota along
with an outstanding
career that has demonstrated the value of
intelligent and tenacious effort combined
with exemplary character.
Michael S. Johnson’s career is an
example of how a number of seemingly
unrelated events can coalesce to form
dramatic results, provided one has the
perseverance. He graduated from The
Ohio State University in 1949 with
B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in geology.
Mike was employed by the Amerada
Petroleum Corporation, and assigned
to the Williston Basin office in Billings,
Montana. In 1949 there was no
production in the Williston Basin!
Mike was drafted into the Army
in September, and was assigned to
Fort Belvoir to be an instructor in
interpretation of aerial-photographs.
Later, in 1951, the Army assigned him to
a unit that became one of the highlights
of his entire career. He was assigned to
the Nevada Test Site where he witnessed
the detonation and effects of several
small KT atomic bombs.
With military service over in 1953, Mike
went back to the Williston office because
Amerada had made the Williston Basin
oil discovery at the No. 1 Iverson well,
and rapid development was in progress.
In 1954, he was transferred to the Tulsa
headquarters office and assisted in the
development of the Nesson Anticline
fields. Two year later, he was promoted
to district geologist for the Wyoming
district in Casper.
In 1958, he resigned from Amerada to
become the Rocky Mountain exploration
manager for Apache Oil Company, a
newly formed drilling fund. Apache
closed their Denver office in 1963, and
place Mike on a part-time retainer.
In 1967, Mike went on a full-time
retainer with Wessely Energy and
Headington Oil Company. Income from
this work enabled him to meet business
expenses and seek other ventures;
however, his main endeavor was the
Williston Basin.
Mike’s crowning achievement was
at Parshall field. This is where all his
diverse background in the geology of
the Williston Basin and in aerial-photo
AWARDS AND HONORS
interpretation coalesced. Using his ideas,
his partner, Henry Gordon, president
of Strata Resources, together with the
financial help of Tulsa geologist Bob
Berry, leased 44,000 acres surrounding
two wells drilled years before in eastern
Mountrail County. Both of these wells
were twinned by EOG Resources and
were the discovery wells for Ross and
Parshall fields. Parshall field exceeded
expectations, and now covers over 1
million acres.
Mike says, “I have had an interesting
and enjoyable career. Financial success
has been important, but so has the hunt
and challenge of finding oil and gas.
In the high-risk nature of our industry,
perseverance is a needed quality. It is
sometime rewarding, as in my case. How
fortunate we are to live in a country as
great as ours, and to be blessed with
working in an industry such as ours.”

Robert R. Berg for Outstanding
Research Award
Bradford E. Prather
Citation: To Bradford
E. Prather, for major
advances in our
understanding of
the sedimentology,
stratigraphy and
reservoir characteristics of turbidite
depositional systems.
The Robert R. Berg Outstanding
Research Award is given in recognition
of a singular achievement in petroleum
geoscience research. Brad is a recognized
expert in sedimentology, seismic
stratigraphy reservoir architecture of
slope and base-of-slope depositional
systems, turbidite rock properties, the
stratigraphy and reservoir characteristics
of carbonate depositional systems and
the use of geochemistry for interpreting
carbonate diagenesis. One could
therefore imagine the difficulty an awards
committee might have in choosing
which of his contributions to geology
most merited this honor.
While leading interdisciplinary research
teams for Royal Dutch Shell, Brad was
the principal developer of an innovative
geologic model of slope and base-of
slope turbidite systems. This model has
been used widely by our industry for
calibrating seismic facies to reservoir
stratigraphy including net-to-gross
distributions, geometry and quality
of stratigraphic traps and reservoir
performance expectations. The concepts
have proven their powerful utility as
quantitative risk-appraisal tools.
Earlier, non-proprietary elements
of Brad’s work were shown at the
2000 AAPG meeting, where they
earned the best poster award. A more
comprehensive version in the open
literature became the fourth-most-
downloaded paper from the Marine and
Petroleum Geology website in 2003.
It remains on the top-25 list of most-
downloaded papers to this day, five years
after publication.
Brad Prather’s 27-year career as a
geologist, teacher and leader has been
characterized by an interdisciplinary and
collaborative style of working that offers a
role model to younger scientists entering
our profession. Always cognizant of the
need to calibrate his interpretations,
he has consistently demonstrated a
keen appetite for the value of personal
observations of outcrops, cores, cuttings
and thin-sections. He has become a
thought leader by venturing outside
his geological comfort zone, quickly
developing expertise in new areas while
testing and sharing what he has learned
and remaining open to new ideas. These
traits aptly reflect the character of the
man for whom this award is named.
Brad has been an AAPG distinguished
lecturer, has chaired many international
symposia and has been a keynote speaker
at EU-UNESCO and Hedberg research
conferences. His professional honors
include having been named among the
Erasmus Haworth Most Distinguished
Alumni by the University of Kansas. He
has received the Jules Braunstein Award,
and was the only member in the 25-year
history of the Cam Sproule Memorial
Award to have won it twice.

Distinguished Service Award
Alistair R. Brown
Citation: To Alistair
R. Brown for
professional expertise
in communicating the
geologic interpretation
of 3-dimensional
seismic data to geologists and geophysicists
worldwide by distinguished lectures,
numerous articles, courses and AAPG
Memoir 42.
Alistair R. Brown is an internationally
recognized geoscientist best known
as the author of AAPG Memoir 42
“Interpretation of Three-Dimensional
Seismic Data.” This publication is the
definitive, and now classic, text on
integrated geologic and geophysical
interpretation of 3-D seismic data.
Now in a Sixth Edition following its
initial publication in 1986, the book
has recently surpassed 22,000 copies in
worldwide sales.
Alistair is a Consulting Reservoir
Geophysicist working out of Dallas,
Texas, and has more than 40 years of
industry experience. He is a masterful
interpreter of 3-dimensional seismic
data using the latest techniques on
interactive workstations combined with
keen geologic insight and knowledge.
He spends much of his time teaching
interpretation methods and advising on
interpretation problems worldwide. His
enthusiasm and clever wit make him
an experienced and enjoyable teacher.
More than 8,000 geoscientists have
taken his courses.
Alistair was born and raised in Carlisle,
northernmost England, and graduated
from Oxford University in England,
having attended The Queen’s College.
He met his future wife Mary, another
Oxford graduate, in 1960 and they
2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition 113
AWARDS AND HONORS
married in 1963 and have three children.
After graduation, he moved to Australia
where he was employed by the Bureau
of Mineral Resources working on
geologic projects. In 1972, he returned
to England to work for Geophysical
Service International (GSI) where he
interpreted one of the first commercial
3-D seismic data volumes.
He is credited with the idea for the
first seismic horizon slice in 1979,
which forever changed the interpreter’s
viewpoint from looking at seismic cross
sections to looking at seismic reflections
as patterns along horizon bedding planes.
Alistair has made numerous contributions
to AAPG, SEG and other professional
societies. He was an instructor for an
AAPG/SEG continuing education
course in 1984-1987, chairman of the
Editorial Board of The Leading Edge SEG
publication from 1986-1988, and became
an AAPG distinguished lecturer in 1988.
Alistair’s exceptional skill as a
communicator led to his service as
the inaugural Joint AAPG/SEG
distinguished lecturer in 1999-2000
and he was able to visit AAPG and
SEG audiences around the globe.
During 2004-2005, he was Editor of the
Geophysical Corner, a monthly column
in the AAPG Explorer magazine. In
2006 Alistair received SEG Honorary
Membership in recognition of his many
contributions.
This dedicated, lifelong effort to improve
the science of geologic interpretation of
seismic is an inspiration to his colleagues.
It is not an exaggeration to say that
Alistair has probably had more influence
on how we interpret modern seismic
data than any other single person. It is
principally for his unique expertise and
contributions that AAPG honors him.

114 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
Distinguished Service Award
Larry L. Jones
Citation: To Larry L.
Jones for his unlimited
passion in all things
AAPG but most especially
his work as House of
Delegates chairman
during a very challenging time. His
professionalism and sense of fairness was
enjoyed and respected during his tenure as
HoD chair.
The Distinguished Service Award was
established 38 years ago to recognize
AAPG members who have stood out
from their peers in their service, and
most importantly in the responsibilities
handed to them in the form of a special
AAPG position.
Since 1994, Larry has been first a
delegate and then an influential voice in
the House of Delegates. As past foreman
of the Houston Delegation, Larry has
represented the AAPG’s largest body
of members during a time when the
House of Delegates was tasked with
providing decisions and leadership on
several tradition-changing proposals.
In his involvement with the House of
Delegates, Larry held the positions of
chairman of the Rules and Procedures
Committee and the Honors and Awards
Committee. With those responsibilities
Larry provided the necessary leadership
and advice needed.
His election as HoD chairman-elect at
the Annual Meeting in Calgary in 2005
was followed by his serving as vice-
chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee
for Graduated Dues at a time when
the newly proposed Graduated Dues
program required new rules and
procedures to be adopted. His decision
to begin his term as HoD chairman and
member of the Executive Committee
came after he overcame a severe medical
occurrence. The discipline required to
combat this life-threatening medical
issue was a result of his dedication to
basic moral principles and because of
this strength of character, Larry was able
to successfully complete his tenure as
chairman.
Larry left the plains of Nebraska with
a B.S. and M.S. from the University of
Nebraska to begin his career in the Gulf
Coast. His love of Nebraska did not end
when he left Lincoln. Larry has provided
his Alma Mater with many hours of
advice and service in his role as a member
of the Geoscience Advisory Board and in
his position as a trustee of the University
Foundation. In these roles, he was
able to assist in the implementation of
several necessary programs, and more
importantly Larry was able to encourage
university freshman to consider the
geosciences as a career.
Since being a member of the 1955
Orange Bowl team, Larry has attended
many games in Lincoln. He makes
a special attempt to attend the OU-
Nebraska game, as many of his peers
will attest. His commitment to
Nebraska, not unlike his commitment
to the AAPG, is but one example of
the principals Larry has demonstrated
throughout his career: those of
dedication, commitment, discipline and
support of a cause that he believes in.
I am very pleased to have played a small
part in the awarding of Larry L. Jones
with the Distinguished Service Award
for his service to the AAPG and for his
lifelong commitment to the AAPG.

Distinguished Service Award
Mike J. Lakin
Citation: To Michael
John Lakin, pre-eminent
for his drive and
determination to ensure
that APPEX London
became a success within
the European Region, but also for his
considerable contribution to the European
Region Council.
Mike Lakin is a born leader. Mike was
elected to the European Region Council
AWARDS AND HONORS
in 2004 as vice-president, serving with
Sigrunn Johnsen and myself. At about
the same time Mike recognized that the
early stage AAPG concept of a fair, at
which oil industry deals could be made,
along the lines of NAPE, but specifically
international in nature, could have very
considerable success being centered in
London, and his involvement and his
specific skills have proved invaluable.
Over the past six years Mike has
been very involved on the APPEX
Committee, was deputy in 2007 and
now chairman in 2008 and 2009, and a
key to help making the event a success
to date and potentially the world’s only
truly global upstream deal-making show.
APPEX, as a result, is now becoming
recognized as “the” international deal
fair and it has become an integral
annual meeting in the European Region
calendar. Furthermore, it is more of a key
“industry event” involving as it does not
only leaders from the oil and gas industry,
but financiers and key commercial
elements of the industry as well.
Bringing together geoscientists with
representatives of the legal and financial
professions has led to very considerable
benefits in that each has begun to
understand and respect the others’ views
and even the others’ terminology. In
the oil and gas business, the standing of
the AAPG in the industry can only be
enhanced by the growing reputation of
the APPEX brand, which has grown to
be so well regarded under Mike’s recent
leadership and his dedicated British team.
Mike graduated from University
College, Cardiff, in 1984 in geology and
started his career as a geologist with
Superior Oil, then with Carless, Capel
and Leonard, which successfully explored
and exploited some of the oil and gas
fields onshore southern England before
transitioning through Kelt, acquiring
them in 1998, and before moving to join
Petresearch and the development of his
deal making activities and experience.
He formed his own company, ENVOI
Limited, in 1999.
He became an active member of AAPG
in 1993, and he is also a fellow of the
Geological Society, and a member of
the Energy Institute, the Association of
International Petroleum Negotiators and
the Petroleum Exploration Society of
Great Britain.
Mike has always brought a passion
and dedication to whatever he turns
his attention and in so doing is an
inspiration to his colleagues. His time as
vice-president of the European Region
Council and his assumption of the
chair of APPEX showed his leadership
qualities.
It is rare for an individual to make so
influential an impact in our business
and with AAPG in so short a time,
but this Mike has done, and so the
recommendation of the Distinguished
Service Award is most thoroughly deserved.

Distinguished Service Award
Dalton F. Lockman
Citation: To Dalton F.
Lockman, recognizing
his distinguished
leadership, enthusiastic
service and exceptional
organizational and
technical skills for the benefit of the Pacific
Section and all of AAPG.
Dalton Lockman is an exceptional
choice to receive the Distinguished
Service Award from AAPG. He was
born in Kennewick, Washington, and
raised in the San Francisco Bay area.
He proclaims his wife, Lisa, and two
children, Ethan and Lily, are gifts
from God, and they receive much
of his attention. Dalton began his
geologic career at Whittier College,
obtaining his B.S. in 1979. He earned
his Masters degree from Wright State
University in Ohio, where renowned
fracture expert Byron Kulander was his
advisor. In 1981, Dalton joined Exxon
Company, USA in Los Angeles. He
was soon describing fractures in cores
from Alaska’s Lisburne Formation,
where he contributed significantly to
understanding that reservoir and Exxon’s
fracture description methods.
Exxon’s office moved to Thousand Oaks,
California, in 1983, and Dalton logged
15 years there, working fields onshore
and offshore California and Alaska.
He was the production and operations
geologist for the Heritage Platform
developing Pescado Field, and then was
operations coordinator for all of the
Santa Ynez Unit. He played a key role
in technical analysis of the Monterey
Formation, presenting papers at Pacific
Section and national AAPG meetings
on the reservoirs and fractures.
Dalton began his involvement with
local geologic societies during this
time, serving as vice-president then
president of the Coast Geological
Society, and finally taking on the general
chairmanship of the 1994 AAPG
Pacific Section Convention in Ventura,
California. Dalton was elected in 1996
to serve as the 1997-1998 Pacific
Section president. In 1998, he moved to
Anchorage, Alaska, overseeing Exxon’s
geologic interests on the North Slope, as
well as serving for three years as treasurer
of the Alaska Geological Society.
Dalton left ExxonMobil in 2001 for a
position with Stocker Resources (now
Plains Exploration & Production) in
California. The Inglewood Field was the
focus of his attention, and he led the
way in the amazing feat of acquiring
a 3-D seismic survey in the midst of
Los Angeles! The move presented the
opportunity for participating in yet
another Pacific Section Society. Starting
in 2001 Dalton served as president
of the Los Angeles Basin Geological
Society for four years. In 2003, he served
as general chairman for AAPG at the
joint Pacific Section meeting with SPE
Western Region in Long Beach and
won election as an AAPG Delegate
from the Los Angeles Basin Geological
Society. His crowning achievement (so
far) was serving as general chairman for
2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition 115
AWARDS AND HONORS
the 2007 AAPG Annual Convention
held in Long Beach. The meeting was a
resounding success and a tribute to his
organizational skills and leadership.
Dalton has received numerous technical
and service awards from the Pacific
Section, and the AAPG Certificate of
Merit for his work on the 2007 Long
Beach Convention. Everywhere he goes
he makes important contributions to
AAPG and our profession.

Distinguished Service Award
Kenneth M. Mallon
Citation: To Ken Mallon,
in recognition of his
distinguished and long
record of dedication
and achievement in
intersociety initiatives
for AAPG concerning reserves and resources
definitions and classifications.
Kenneth Mark Mallon, a native of New
Jersey, became fascinated with geology
during his high school years from rocks
he collected in the Ramapo Mountains.
In 1964, he received a B.S. degree from
Tulane. He obtained his M.S. from
New Mexico Tech, where he studied
polymetamorphics under Professor Ed
Bingler, who instilled the importance
of details when assessing rock and
basin genesis. In 1966, Ken began his
petroleum geology career with Gulf Oil
in Houston, Texas.
After a leave to serve his country as a
U.S. Navy officer in Vietnam, he resumed
his training in exploration before
transferring to the Kilgore production
office where he gained experience under
the tutelage of Bill Smylie. Bill taught
Ken the fundamentals and complexities
of development geology and value of
serving one’s profession and community.
The Kilgore posting resulted in
a significant contribution to the
redevelopment of Fannett Salt Dome in
mid-1970s, after which he was promoted
116 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
to head of Production Geology in Hobbs,
New Mexico. In Hobbs he developed an
interdisciplinary team and program that
expanded the exploitation program, halted
production declines, added reserves and
increased staff development and morale.
Ken also facilitated an exploration-
development geology cross-training
program that afforded unprecedented
opportunities to cross-train exploration
geologists on the challenges and rewards
of development geology.
In 1986, he joined a private venture
to develop PC-based reservoir
characterization software. In his next
adventure, he led a Landmark Graphics
technical team working with Chinese
geoscientists in China. Upon his
return, he redirected his career as an
independent consultant on exploration
and development projects and reserve
evaluations throughout the world.
In 1996, Ken began serving as AAPG’s
first liaison to the SPE’s Oil and Gas
Reserves Committee. Several AAPG
Explorer articles documenting the
OGRC activities and publication of the
March 2007 SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE
“Petroleum Resource Management
System” attest to his contributions
concerning resource definitions. During
2006-2007, he served on the United
Nations Ad Hoc Group of Experts for
the Harmonization of Fossil Energy and
Mineral Resources Terminology.
This group is updating the UN
Framework Classification to integrate
different reporting systems from around
the globe. He is a member of AAPG’s
Committee on Resource Evaluation,
and served the Reservoir Development
Committee for 17 years. He is a licensed
geologist in Texas and a member of
DPA, SPE, HGS, SIPES and Roswell
Geological Society.
His mentorship and untiring service to
AAPG are validated at conventions as
he is seen engaging speakers and judging
sessions. His focus on interdisciplinary
communication, knowledge transfer
and development geology continue to
support and inspire others.
Ken’s career truly exemplifies a lifetime
of personal and professional service.
It is with great pride and pleasure
that I write about Ken for AAPG’s
recognition of him with a 2009
Distinguished Service Award.

Randi S. Martinsen
Citation: To Randi
Martinsen, passionate in
everything. She created
a petroleum curriculum
that for decades has
produced superior
explorationists, she insists on students taking
field experience into their industry careers,
she fires up their creativity and she single-
handedly established the Rocky Mountain
Rendezvous.
Randi Martinsen is the very definition
of passion in everything she does. Her
single-handed establishment of the
Rocky Mountain Rendezvous student
job fair at the University of Wyoming
exemplifies the kinds of successes she has
created during her professional career.
Leaving her very satisfying position
as exploration geologist with Cities
Service in Denver in 1979, she was faced
with building a new career in academia
when she married geology Professor
Jim Steidtmann at the University of
Wyoming. Undaunted by the lack of a
Ph.D., she built a petroleum geoscience
curriculum and supervised graduate
student research on petroleum-oriented
theses, served on graduate student
committees and advised many students
of the earth sciences.
Randi was born and raised in Queens,
New York, and acquired her B.S. in
geology at S.U.N.Y at Stony Brook. Her
lifelong commitment to and enjoyment
of the great American west began
with her move to Northern Arizona
AWARDS AND HONORS
University in 1972 where she did her
Master’s thesis on the East Verde River
Canyon in Arizona. She worked with
Cities Service Company after grad
school, immediately making a name for
herself with talks and publications on
Hartzog Draw Field in Wyoming —
for which she was awarded the
A. I. Levorsen Award in 1979. She has
recently received the Frank A. Morgan
award from the Wyoming Geological
Association, their highest award.
Randi created the Rocky Mountain
Rendezvous at the UW for students
who could not attend the Houston-
based AAPG Student Expo. For seven
consecutive years it has been successful
in attracting students from all over the
United States and recruiters from more
than 25 companies.
Randi’s contributions to AAPG include
a recent two-year term as treasurer,
chairing the Rocky Mountain Section
meeting in 2000, Technical Program
chair for the 1994 Annual Meeting in
Denver and chairing or serving on the
Audit Review, Budget and Finance,
Investment, Group Insurance, Prowess,
Student Expo, GeoTours, Membership,
Publications, Public Outreach,
Distinguished Lecture and Membership
committees. She has been an associate
editor and has joined the PTTC BOD.
Her teaching and consulting skills have
been sought after around the world,
which takes her away, all too often, from
her husband, horses and wonderful mini-
ranch outside of Laramie. But these
travels fulfill one of her other lifetime
dreams of enjoying people and cultures
globally. Not inconsiderable has been
the time and effort she has dedicated to
home and hearth. She and Jim raised a
family and Randi has placed her most
profound attention to the needs and
interests of daughter, Dana, and son,
Matthew.

Robert C. Mummery
Citation: To Robert
C. “Bob” Mummery
in recognition of his
leadership, mentorship
and long-term service to
the members of the AAPG
and the Canada Region.
Robert C. “Bob” Mummery was born
and raised in small towns near Chatham,
Ontario, Canada. He received his
Hons. B.S. in geology in 1968 from
the University of Western Ontario in
London and his Ph.D. in 1973 from
McMaster University in Hamilton,
Ontario. After lecturing at the University
of Waterloo, Bob moved to Calgary
to join Amoco Canada Petroleum Co.
Ltd. in 1973. Since that time he has
worked for a variety of large and small
independent oil and gas exploration
companies including working with a
pioneering seismic inversion processing
and interpretation company.
Over much of his career, Bob has
been involved with the integration of
geological and geophysical data utilizing
both forward and inverse modeling.
Since 1980, Bob has had the good
fortune of working in more than 50
different sedimentary basins located in
30+ countries on every continent, all
while remaining based in Calgary. Bob
used these experiences to operate as
an independent geological consultant,
forming Almandine Resources in 1997.
He also found time to help found a
private junior oil and gas exploration
company and participate on the board
of directors of two publicly traded junior
exploration companies.
Bob joined the AAPG in 1981 and
has served four terms on the House of
Delegates. He was chairman of the
Calgary Delegates from 1986 to 1988
and was instrumental in recruitment,
mentoring and reviving Canadian
involvement in the House of Delegates
and Canadian representation in AAPG.
In 1989 Bob was nominated to run for
chair of the House. Bob has served two
terms (1989-1992 and 2007-2009) as
the Canada Region representative on
the Advisory Council. He has served on
several AAPG Committees including
Distinguished Lecture, HoD Honors
and Awards, Environmental Geology,
International Regions and Ad Hoc
Graduated Dues. Bob has been an
AAPG Mentor and previously received
an AAPG Certificate of Merit.
In addition to his service with AAPG,
Bob has been active in local societies
(CSPG and CSEG) in Outreach and
Continuing Education, and has served as
an executive member of both Societies.
He was very active with the Canadian
Geoscience Council (CGC) serving as
CSEG representative, finance director
and executive officer.
He was influential in the industry’s
re-involvement with this organization
and its rebirth as the Canadian
Federation of Earth Sciences (CFES).
He served as member and co-chair of
the MNABES (Minister’s (NRCAN)
National Advisory Board for Earth
Science) a Canadian Federal government
committee and was also a member
of MACST (Minister’s [NRCAN]
Advisory Council for Science &
Technology).
Bob has been happily married to Janis
since 1970 and is proud of his three sons
Christopher, Michael and Mark, and
their wives and fiancé.

Distinguished Service Award
John E. Ritter
Citation: To John Ritter,
for his enthusiasm,
dedication and leadership
in promoting global
standards in the
assessment, classification
and reporting of petroleum reserves and
resources.
2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition 117
AWARDS AND HONORS
The Distinguished Service Award
is bestowed on AAPG members in
recognition of their beneficial long-term
service to the organization. John Ritter
not only brought credit to the AAPG
through his prior and ongoing service on
the Committee on Resource Evaluation
(CORE) but also promulgating AAPG-
endorsed petroleum resource assessment
and classification standards through joint
ventures with other organizations.
It is recognized that the assessment of
in-place and potentially recoverable
petroleum requires the coordination of
geoscientists, engineers and economic
analysts with diverse areas of expertise.
Moreover, achieving global consistency
in the process requires ongoing
interaction beyond the international
petroleum industry with government
agencies, academia and related industries.
Through the efforts of John Ritter, the
AAPG has been well represented in
these negotiations.
John chaired the Society of Petroleum
Engineers (SPE) Oil and Gas
Reserves Committee (OGRC) from
2004 through 2007; it was under his
guidance that the Petroleum Resources
Management System (PRMS) project,
co-sponsored by the AAPG, was
completed. This document provides the
industry best-practice guidelines for
assessment of, and the international
reporting standard for, petroleum
reserves and resources.
John also represented the SPE OGRC
on the governing bureau of the Ad Hoc
Group of Experts on the Harmonization
of Fossil Energy and Mineral Resources
Terminology (AHGE) charged with
updating of the United Nations
Framework Classification (UNFC),
working hand-in-hand with AAPG
representatives. He directed discussions
with the Committee for Mineral
Reserves International Reporting
Standards (CRIRSCO), leading to a

and resource reporting to a wide spectrum
of industry and political participants.
Further, John participated as a member of
the AAPG SEC Comment Committee,
providing input to the Securities
Exchange Commission on their proposed
reserves disclosure.
He is widely respected by both geoscience
and engineering professionals and is an
outstanding candidate for recognition
through the AAPG Distinguished

After graduation in 1974, Steve began
working for William F. Guyton &
Associates in Austin, Texas, as a ground-
water hydrologist. In 1979, after five
years as a hydrologist, Steve began
working for the Superior Oil Company
as an exploration geologist. Thus began a
series of jobs with Buckeye Energy and
Conquest Exploration that culminated
with Steve working for Meridian Oil.
Steve retired from Burlington Resources
(Meridian) in 2005 and started his own
company, Firstview Resources.
Steve began his association with the
AAPG in 1974. During his extremely
successful and busy career, Steve has
repeatedly found the time to volunteer
for the AAPG. In 1990, he became a
delegate representing the West Texas
Geological Society at the House of
Delegates. He has served four terms
as a delegate. During that time Steve
served as vice-chairman of the House of
Delegates and was on the nominating
committee three times. He also was a
candidate for the chair-elect.
Steve became active in Division of
Environmental Geology, first as a charter
member and then working on the
liaison committee as a member and the
chairman of that committee. He served
the Southwest Section as a member of
the Advisory Board of the Division of
Professional Affairs.
Steve served a three-year term on the
AAPG Advisory Council representing
the Southwest Section and recently
completed a term as secretary of the
Southwest Section. Steve was also a
candidate for AAPG treasurer. He is also
an AAPG Foundation trustee associate.
At the same time as Steve was
volunteering for AAPG, he was also
active in his local society serving as
treasurer, vice-president and president
of the West Texas Geological Society.
He has served on numerous committees
for the WTGS for which he received
the WTGS Dedicated Service Award
and the Honorary Life Membership
Award. Steve also served as a director of

Distinguished Service Award
Jack H. West
Citation: To Jack H.
West, consummate
geologist to the discovery
and development of oil
and gas, for his exemplary
and long-term service to
AAPG and the Pacific Section.
A defining moment in Jack’s early
history in geology took place in July
1959 during a mapping program in
Alaska. Jack was a summer intern with
a field party of geologists mapping in
the Brooks Range on the North Slope
region of Alaska.
He and his partner were examining
outcrops when a storm moved in and
lightning struck in their vicinity. Both
were knocked unconscious. After they
recovered and made their way to the base
of the hill, the party’s helicopter flew
them back to camp, then to Fairbanks
for a medical examination. Later they
returned to the field to continue the
mapping program.
Even after this horrific experience, Jack
decided that geology was his continued
choice of study, which he vigorously
applied to the oil and gas industry over
the next 45-plus years.
Jack Henry West was born April 7, 1934,
in Washington, D.C. The family settled
in Portland, Oregon, in 1947 and Jack
graduated from high school in 1952.
He enrolled in Portland State College
and later transferred to the University of
Oregon and received his B.S. in geology
in December 1956.
Jack served honorably in the United
States Marine Corps during 1957 and
1958. He then returned to the University
of Oregon and received his M.S. in
geology in 1961. While in graduate
school, Jack interviewed with Texaco
and accepted a position as a geologist in
their Bakersfield office.
Importantly, while Jack was in graduate
school he met his wife-to-be, Bonnie.
They were married in 1961 and live
in Bakersfield, California. They have
two sons, Trent and Todd, and are also
blessed with two grandchildren.
Jack’s work experience as a petroleum
geologist has spanned more than 45 years.
He was with Texaco for 17 years primarily
involved with oil and gas exploration and
development in California and Alaska.
Since 1978 he has worked for and as
a consultant to various companies on
the oil and gas potential of onshore and
offshore basins within California.
Jack West has been a member of AAPG
since 1962. Over the past four decades,
his contributions to the geologic
profession through the Association are
most noteworthy.
He was president of the Pacific Section
in 1988-1989 and was the Pacific
Section representative to the AAPG
Advisory Council from 1991-1994.
He received the Pacific Section’s highest
award, Honorary Life Member, in 1997
and AAPG awarded him Certificates of
Merit in 1989 and 1994. The Division
of Professional Affairs (DPA) presented
Jack their Distinguished Service Award
in 1989 and a Certificate of Merit in
2003.
The guidelines for the Distinguished
Service Award emphasize “long term,
meaningful service to AAPG and the
activity be specific.” Jack West fulfills
these guidelines and justly deserves this
prestigious Award.

J. Frederick Read
Citation: To J. Fred
Read, in recognition
of his outstanding
achievements as an
educator and researcher,
whose enthusiasm and
insight are an inspiration to students and
colleagues.
Fred Read received his undergraduate
and graduate education at the University
of Western Australia in Perth. During
his Honors year he and two other
students had the opportunity to work in
the Carnavon Basin on the well-exposed
Paleozoic carbonates.
His honors project was a joint mapping
project along the basin margin, followed
by a study of the Carboniferous mixed
carbonate and clastic rocks with the
support of West Australian Petroleum
(WAPET) and Murray Johnstone.
He earned his Ph.D. in 1970, working
under Brian W. Logan on Holocene
and Pleistocene carbonate sediments of
Shark Bay, one of the classic modern
carbonate environments (published as
AAPG Memoirs 13 and 22). He then
did post-doctoral research on the cyclic
back-reef facies of the classic Devonian
reef complex, Canning Basin, Western
Australia.
He has been at Virginia Tech since
1973 and is a full professor. He and his
students have worked on evolution of
passive carbonate margins in the U.S.
Cambro-Ordovician, the Triassic of
Hungary, the Tertiary of the eastern U.S.
and the Early Proterozoic of Canada.
They have studied foreland basin
carbonates in the Middle/Late
Ordovician, the Siluro-Devonian and
the Mississippian in the Appalachians,
Illinois Basin, and the western U.S. He
presently is associated with projects in
the Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic of
Croatia and the Middle East.

AWARDS AND HONORS
Fred’s research group at Virginia Tech
also has been involved in computer
stratigraphic modeling, cyclostratigraphy
and documenting the sequence
stratigraphic signature of global ice-
house, transitional and greenhouse
worlds and its implications for reservoirs
(published as an SEPM Short Course).
They also have studied regional calcite
cementation in shallow aquifer to deep
burial settings in Paleozoic carbonates,
and also developed models for early
dolomitization in peritidal settings and
documented resetting of early dolomites
by burial processes.
Fred was an AAPG distinguished
lecturer 1989-1990, and has taught
numerous short courses for AAPG,
SEPM, GSA and industry groups. He
is also the author of the widely-cited
AAPG paper that provided the first
comprehensive classification of carbonate
platforms and which was an AAPG
Short Course for several years.
He and his students have twice received
the Outstanding Paper Award, “Journal
of Sedimentary Research.” He received
the Outstanding Educator Award, Eastern
AAPG in 2005, and the Pettijohn Medal
for Excellence in Sedimentology in 2007.
The focus of much of their present work
involves developing techniques for defining
high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and
reservoirs in Late Paleozoic, Mesozoic and
Tertiary rocks using core and well data,
and tying this to global climate. He and
his students have had almost continuous
NSF support for their research over the
last 35 years, as well as PRF-ACI support.

Distinguished Educator Award
Finn Surlyk
Citation: To Finn
Surlyk, in recognition
of his infectious passion
for geology and his
unwavering support and
dedication to his students.
He has been more than
120 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
just a teacher to so many students; he has
also been the inspiration and role model for
a life in geology.
Finn Surlyk is that special breed of
teacher who comes along only rarely. He
is on the one hand a world-renowned
and highly respected researcher, having
published more than 170 peer-reviewed
papers and, on the other hand, and
arguably more importantly, he has been
a teacher and a mentor to many young
students and made a huge difference in
so many lives.
He has supervised about 80 postgraduate
students over the years and has taught
his students the meaning of doing a job
right and not accepting short cuts or
half-baked answers. And he has taught
them the meaning and value of loyalty, in
each instance not with words, but by his
actions and deeds.
The stories of Finn’s loyalty to his
students coupled with a demanding
drive for excellence are legendary. One
former student tells the story of how
Finn filled up a bus with her fellow
students and drove for three hours to
a reception in recognition of her first
job. He said, “…it was an obligation to
go and make it a happy day!” Another
former student observed, “…even
though he at first seems to be a very
strict professor, we all know that he
is the most loving and warm-hearted
mentor you could wish for. He cares
for us and always points out our most
positive attributes to other colleagues.”
Finn’s attempts at a stern exterior are
simply a transparent mask to a kind
and caring person; the stern exterior
never endures long. After examining
a first-year student, Finn approached
the student with her grade. He looked
very angry and said: “You almost gave
me a heart attack. You had better speak
in half-speed next time!” Clearly his
tough external demeanor is an act that
everyone sees through in a heartbeat!
Finn has always managed to strike a
balance between being demanding and
being compassionate and caring, the
hallmark of an inspirational mentor.
Clearly Finn is a teacher who embodies
the very essence of what it means to be a
teacher whose mission is to train bright
young people; wise, loyal, demanding,
inspiring—a true role model. Through
his years at the Geological Survey
of Greenland and at the University
of Copenhagen, he has created an
atmosphere of dedicated learning and
has instilled a great love for the science
of sedimentology. I can think of very
few teachers as deserving of this award
as Finn is; he is truly the type!

Special Award
Akif Ali Narimanov
Citation: To Akif
Narimanov, in
recognition of his
significant contributions
to the science of petroleum
geology, his dedicated
leadership to the AAPG
and Azerbaijan Society of Petroleum
Geologists (ASPG) and his special role in
education of young geoscientists.
Akif Narimanov was born in Azerbaijan.
He grew up in the family of a biology
professor and a celebrated teacher. After
successful graduation from the Oil
Academy in Baku, Akif started his career
as a technician at the Oily Rocks Field.
At Oily Rocks Akif worked in numerous
roles, including drilling, operations
geology, geological mapping and geodesy.
After seven years he moved to the State
Oil Company to work on mapping of
offshore geological structures through
use of shallow prospecting boreholes.
This work provided the forecasts for
future exploration operations.
Akif ’s research in the petroleum systems
of the South Caspian Basin allowed him
to win the recognition of prominent
scientists throughout the Soviet Union.
This enabled Akif to successfully defend
his thesis in Moscow in 1983 and receive
the degree of a candidate of sciences
(according to the Soviet procedure, this
was a required step prior to a doctoral
thesis). His hypothesis that it was
possible to preserve commercially viable
volumes of hydrocarbons at depths of
6-9 km was recognized in 1994 as one
of the best research works of the USSR
Academy of Sciences. In the same year
Akif made a presentation on this topic
at the World Geological Congress in
Moscow. He has authored more than
100 research papers, monographs and
teaching aids, more than half of which
were published outside Azerbaijan. He
is also the author of several patents and
inventions. In 1990, Akif successfully
defended his doctoral thesis, in which he
provided the comparative characteristics
of rapidly submerging sedimentary
basins of the world, and provided a new
concept for the formation of oil and gas
deposits in the South Caspian Basin at
depths of more than 6 km.
Akif was a key contributor in the
discovery of such well-known oil fields
as Guneshli, Chirag, Azeri and Kapaz
in the offshore South Caspian Basin.
In 1992 he was appointed as senior
geologist and deputy general director for
offshore operations and later for onshore
operations.
In 1993, Akif established the Azerbaijan
Society of Petroleum Geologists
(ASPG). In 1994 he successfully
negotiated for the ASPG to be an
affiliate member of the AAPG. This
was a first for any organization in the
former USSR countries. Since then the
ASPG, under Akif ’s leadership, has held
a number of international conferences.
Many of these conferences have been
held jointly with the AAPG and
European Association of Geoscientists
and Engineers (EAGE).
On the initiative and under the
supervision of Akif, the “Geologist of
Azerbaijan” journal has been published
since 1997. Akif has played a special
role in training the next generation of
petroleum scientists in Azerbaijan. In
recognition of his outstanding career,
Akif has received the title of Honored
Engineer of Azerbaijan.

AWARDS AND HONORS
Public Service Award
Owen R. Hopkins
Citation: Honoring
exploration geologist
Owen R. Hopkins, whose
enthusiasm for “planting
the seeds of geologic
curiosity” led him to
initiate a plan for placing geologic maps in
thousands of elementary schools nationwide.
Owen Hopkins was born June 23,
1947, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. After he
graduated from high school in 1965,
Owen enrolled in the University of
Oklahoma where, in his third semester,
he took a course in geology. “That class
changed my life,” he says. “I made my first
college A, and I called my mother and
said, ‘Mom, I’m going to be a geologist!’”
After earning his Bachelor of Science
degree in Geology at OU, Owen took a
job with Chevron Oil Company, first in
Lafayette, Louisiana, and later in New
Orleans. In 1977, he earned a Master’s
in Geology from Tulane University.
Later that year, he moved to Corpus
Christi, Texas, where he worked for
Holly Energy, Sexton Oil and Harkins
& Company.
In 1990, he helped form Suemaur
Exploration and Production, LLC,
working as a geologist initially, then chief
geologist, and finally to vice-president
exploration until February 2005, when
he retired from active management. He
remains a partner with the company.
When he became president of the
Corpus Christi Geological Society
in 2006, Owen decided his project as
president would have to do with science
education. “I wanted to help plant seeds
of scientific and geologic curiosity,” he
says. “If students can have their interest
piqued when they’re young, who knows
where that could lead?”
He began a program to have laminated,
framed U.S. Geological Survey Time
and Terrain Maps of the United States
mounted prominently and permanently
122 American Association of Petroleum Geologists
in all the elementary schools in the
Coastal Bend. Enthusiasm for the
project quickly grew beyond the Coastal
Bend. Today, maps have been placed in
schools throughout Corpus Christi, but
also in Austin, San Antonio, Midland
and Houston, as well as in Louisiana,
Alabama, Oklahoma and California.
As a part of the program, and as a way
of finding out what students are learning
from his presentations, Owen requests
that they write follow-up notes. One
recent message from a fifth-grade girl
read, in part, “I really appreciate your
donating a map to the fifth graders.
I think it is really cool that you are a
geologist. My dad is only a doctor.”

Pioneer Award
James D. Lowell
Citation: To James D.
Lowell for establishing the
concept of structural styles
in petroleum exploration
and placing them in a
plate tectonic framework
and for educating countless explorationists
across the globe in the application of
structural geology to exploration and
production.
After receiving a B.Sc. at the University
of Nebraska, James Lowell received a
Ph.D. under Marshall Kay at Columbia
University in 1958. The first 18 years of
his career were with three companies:
He began with Amoseas, a joint venture
of Chevron and Texaco, in Libya, The
Netherlands and Spitsbergen; he then
worked for Exxon in both research
and exploration out of Houston and
Denver; he went on to be manager of
geology with Northwest Exploration in
Denver. It was while setting up the first
schools in structural geology for Exxon
with Tod Harding that he and Harding
collaborated in developing the structural
styles concept.
His early company assignments gave him
a broad exposure to worldwide geology.
This period happened to coincide with
the plate tectonic revolution and he
was an early adopter. He saw clearly
how geologists could benefit from
considering geologic structures in a
plate tectonic context. Google him
with structural styles, wrench faults,
thrust belts, basin inversion, Red Sea,
Spitsbergen etc., and you will find a
substantial publication record.
Between Amoseas and Exxon, Jim spent
a year teaching at Washington and Lee
University (1965-1966). Although he
didn’t continue in the academic world,
he did continue teaching, since 1976
as a consulting geologist instructing in
nearly 200 hundred popular classroom
and field courses for OGCI and for
many different companies, as a visiting
professor at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and the University of
Nebraska and as an Esso Australia
distinguished lecturer. Topics included
exploration, seismic interpretation
of structure and especially structural
geology for which he wrote a well
regarded textbook, Structural Styles in
Petroleum Exploration.
He has also consulted for more than 40
clients, including several national oil
companies, on exploration problems on
every continent except Antarctica; time
consulting and exploring has actually
far exceeded time spent teaching. He
has worked in and visited some 125
countries during his career.
Along with these rent-paying activities,
he has served the RMAG and the AAPG
in holding office and in committee
assignments and distinguished
lectureships. He also served on the
safety panel of the Ocean Drilling
Program. His expertise and winning
personality have led to a very successful
career. Jim and Suzanne live in Denver.
They have four daughters and seven
grandchildren. As befits a pioneer,
they have forged, over 50+ years, a very
strong, loving family bond.

Joseph A. Cartwright, Mads Huuse
and Andrew Aplin
“Seal Bypass Systems” is a
comprehensive review of a diverse set
of geological structures that breach
sealing sequences and allow fluids to
flow vertically or subvertically across a
seal, potentially negating predictions
of sealing capacity based exclusively
on flow properties. These structures are
classified into three main groups based
on seismic interpretational criteria: (1)
fault related, (2) intrusion-related and (3)
pipe-related. The paper explores the ways
in which each group exhibits different
modes of behavior with different
scaling relationships between flux and
dimensions, and discusses how these
can have different short and long-term
impacts on seal behavior.
Examples are presented that show direct
evidence of highly focused vertical or
sub-vertical fluid flow from subsurface
reservoirs up through the seal sequence
with leakage internally at higher levels
or to the surface as seeps. Failure to
recognize these features and risk them
appropriately can lead to costly errors in
exploration.

Atlas of Deep-Water Outcrops, edited by
T. H. Nilsen, R. D. Shew, G. S. Steffens,
and J. R. J. Studlick assembles the first
collection of quantitative architectural
data on deep-water outcrops geared for
ease of use in reservoir characterization
and modeling. It contains 154 papers,
and is a collection of both qualitative and
quantitative data on deep-water outcrops
from around the world that includes all
seven continents and 21 countries.
The Atlas is comprised of a hardcopy
and CD-ROM. The hardcopy contains
papers with summary information,
illustrations and quantitative data on
103 outcrops. It also contains overview
papers on selected topics that summarize
the types of deep-water deposits, seismic
modeling of outcrops, current outcrop
study techniques and use of outcrop data
in reservoir modeling. The companion
CD-ROM includes 38 journal-style
articles on the overview papers from the
hardcopy and more detailed reviews of
selected outcrops.
The goal of the publication is not to repeat
but to build upon previous work on deep-
water fields and reservoirs, outcrops and on
modern submarine analogs. By providing
new and consistent data that more
fully describe the various architectures
present in deep-water outcrops, the
Atlas provides important information for
developing models and for comparing
various depositional settings.

R. Pyles for “Architectural Elements in a
AWARDS AND HONORS
Ponded Submarine Fan, Ross Sandstone,
Ireland.”
The goal of the paper was to describe
the stratigraphic architecture of ponded
submarine fan strata in order to aid
in the interpretation of subsurface
data in ponded strata of structurally
confined submarine fans. To address
this goal the paper focused on defining
the architectural elements that fill the
Carboniferous Ross Sandstone, which
is an ancient submarine fan that filled
a structurally confined basin of similar
shape and size to northern Gulf of
Mexico minibasins. Four architectural
building blocks are defined in the
formations: channels, lobes, slumps
and mudstone sheets. Channels and
their genetically related lobes are
documented to stack in a hierarchical
manner. Together these channel-
lobe elements filled the basin in an
aggradational pattern. The paper also
focused on the axis-to-margin facies
associations for each element as well as
dimensional data for each. The paper
further defined unique attributes of
architectural elements that allow them to
be distinguished using one-dimensional
data, including core, gamma-ray and
dip-magnitude.     of 3-D tomographic imaging analysis

Mark Knackstedt
The George C. Matson Memorial
Award for the best paper presented
during an AAPG oral technical session
is presented to Mark Knackstedt for
“Carbonate Petrophysical Parameters
Derived from 3-D Images.”
Mark Knackstedt
was awarded a B.S. in
1985 from Columbia
University and a Ph.D.
in chemical engineering
from Rice University in
1990. He is professor
and head of the Department of Applied
Mathematics at the Australian National
University (ANU) and a visiting professor
at the School of Petroleum Engineering
at the University of NSW (UNSW).
His research has focused on development
methods and modeling transport,
elastic and multiphase flow properties
of complex materials. His recent focus
has been on coupling this 3-D analysis
method to conventional rock typing
descriptors used by geologists and
petrophysicists.
In 1999, Mark initiated a large
collaborative effort between the two
Australian Universities. The research
program had three focus areas; first,
the development of a leading edge
experimental micro-CT facility for
imaging of materials in 3-D; and
secondly, the establishment of a research
group focused on the development
of optimised algorithms for handling
large-scale 3-D data and analyzing the
structural and textural features of rock in
3-D. The third focus was the deveopment
of numerical simulators for predicting key
geophysical and petrophysical properties
from 3-D image data. Based on this
foundational work, in 2005 the ANU/
UNSW group initiated the Digital Core

Jules Braunstein
Memorial Award
Tim Dooley, Michael Hudec and
Martin Jackson
The Jules Braunstein Memorial Award
for the best AAPG poster presentation
is presented to Tim Dooley, Michael
Hudec and Martin Jackson for
“Dismembered Sutures Formed During
Asymmetric Salt-sheet Collision.”
The poster presentation summarized
some 25 scaled physical models on salt-
sheet advance and suturing conducted
over the past three years by the lead
author. The authors focused on salt-sheet
suturing because this topic had been
largely ignored in physical modeling
laboratories, and because imaging
problems tend to obscure suture trails
within salt sheets. Sutures between salt
sheets document the collision between
salt bodies sourced from different feeders
and thus elucidate sub-salt structure.
Some suture trails are also drilling
hazards, so applying this research can
help mitigate drilling risk.
Initial models, run in 2005, focused on
symmetric, direct, collision between salt
bodies. The authors tested modeling
techniques, such as passive markers
embedded within the salt analog to
track internal flow. A mixture of brittle
modeling materials allowed roof densities
2009 Annual Convention & Exhibition 125
AWARDS AND HONORS
not to exceed those of salt, which would
be unrealistic for the shallow burial
depths of advancing salt sheets. Once
modeling techniques were optimized,
they experimented with variable roof
thicknesses, asymmetric advance, 3-D
salt flow and diachronous suturing. In
asymmetrically advancing sheets, suture
trails are formed from the roof of the
overridden salt sheet. Furthermore,
suture trails do not necessarily connect
back to the original point of collision
because trails can be torn and translated
great distances as one salt sheet overrides
another. Geometries in the models
are similar to those on seismic data, so
appear to offer a realistic explanation for
suture genesis and evolution.
Tim Dooley received
his Ph.D. from the
University of London
in 1994 and spent the
next nine years with
the Fault Dynamics
Research Group at

Gabriel Dengo Memorial Award
Charles Kerans
The Gabriel Dengo Memorial Award is
given each year in recognition of the best
AAPG paper presented at the previous
year’s international conference. This year
the award is presented to Charles Kerans
for “Carbonate Grainstone Geobody
Occurrence and Organizations.”
Carbonate grainstones are a critical
producing facies of many carbonate
reservoirs. The 4-D distribution of
grainstone bodies adds greatly to
permeability heterogeneity of reservoir
systems. This paper provided a survey of
the geometric parameters of Permian,
Pennsylvanian, Jurassic and Cretaceous
grainstones. The focus is on ramp
systems where grainstones can be
divided into foreshore-shoreface, barrier-
inlet-lagoon and sharp-based shoreface
systems. Each has characteristic
geometries and the synthesis provided
suggests that their distribution may be
predictable within a sequence/systems
tract framework.
Charles Kerans

AAPG poster presented at the previous
year’s international conference. This year,
the award is presented to S. George
Pemberton for his poster presentation
“The Role of Bioturbation in Low
Permeability Gas-charged Reservoirs.”
His co-authors were Murray Gingras of
the University of Alberta’s Department
AWARDS AND HONORS
of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, and
James MacEachern of Simon Fraser
University’s Earth Sciences department.
In the past, trace fossil research in
hydrocarbon reservoir rocks was almost
exclusively restricted to exploration
geology; however, recent research
shows that ichnology has significant
applications in production geology as
well. Overlooking the potential impact
of heterogeneities caused by burrowing
can lead to inaccurate assessment of the
flow characteristics of a reservoir and
misidentification of permeability streaks.
This is especially important in gas-prone
reservoirs, where slight variations in
permeability can affect storativity, reserve
calculations and resource deliverability.
An understanding of how burrow-
associated heterogeneities control
fluid flow within sedimentary units is
necessary, if production from bioturbated
reservoirs is to be optimized.
George Pemberton
received his Ph.D.
degree from McMaster
University, Hamilton,
Ontario, in 1979. He
is currently a Canada
research chair in
petroleum geology in the Department of
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the
University of Alberta. The main thrust
of his research pertains to the application
of ichnology (animal-sediment
relationships) to petroleum exploration
and exploitation and its use in sequence
stratigraphy. Recent work has been done
on the application of ichnology to the
flow of fluids through the reservoir in
both clastic and carbonate settings.
His work has been recognized by a
number of awards including: the Past
President’s Medal (1994), Geological
Association of Canada; he was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada
in 2001; he was awarded the 2003 R.

Distinguished Member
of the House
Susan M. Landon
Citation: To Susan
Landon whose devotion
to AAPG and the House
of Delegates transcends all
extra effort and physical
hardship required in
order to participate in her cherished Annual
and Section meetings.
Susan M. Landon is honored for her
long-time participation in the House of
Delegates, and particularly for recent re-
entry into HoD service. Her dedication
is out of the ordinary, having fought her
way back from a near fatal head injury in
2005. It requires a major physical effort
for Susan to attend conferences, which
can tire the best of us, but Susan does
it with great determination and never a
complaint. She takes great joy in “being
there” and her geologic associations and
contributions continue to sustain her, at
a time when 60 percent of her waking
hours are still filled with necessary
physical and occupational therapy.
Susan’s numerous contributions to
AAPG and to the global geological
community have been detailed in her
1995 Distinguished Service Citation and
her 2000 Honorary Membership Citation
and, though prolific and continuous, none
compare to the effort she has directed
toward returning to her life as a geologist.
As she struggled to leave the hospital in
2006 some of her first ventures were to
local geologic luncheons with the Rocky
Mountain Association of Geologists.
Later, when she was finally freed from
a wheel chair and various tubes, she
ventured immediately off to Montana for
an AAPG section meeting and field trip!
Her first return to an Annual Meeting
in 2007 was a joyous landmark for her,
able to see and enjoy the community of
geologists that she treasures so greatly.
Her re-election and service as a delegate
to the HoD has given her an added
inspiration to continue the participation
she has so long cherished.
Those of us that have known Susan
for most of her career, recognize that
geology in many ways has given her the
will to push on and continue her uphill
battle. She thrives on attending technical
sessions and workshops. For all the years
of service she delivered to the geologic
community, it is remarkable to find that
geology is giving something back to her,
providing the impetus for her return.

Marilyn Taggi Cisar
Marilyn Taggi Cisar
didn’t take the usual path
to a career in petroleum
geology. She was born
in New York City and
raised in the suburb of
Eastchester, New York.
In her formative years she never met a
geologist nor took a geology class, but
she did grow up in a town with a marble
quarry and ubiquitous gneiss curbstones,
which sparked her interest in geology.
Marilyn graduated from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology with a B.Sc. degree
in Earth and Planetary Science with a
concentration in geology. She received
a M.S. in Geology from Iowa State
University where she studied chemical
differentiation trends in the Marcy
Anorthosite. From Iowa State, she moved
to the Houston area and started working
for Shell Oil Company.
Marilyn is a 31-year veteran of the oil
patch, and a 28-year member of AAPG.
She has worked as a production geologist
for Royal Dutch Shell, primarily on
oil and gas development projects in
major North American onshore basins
including the Williston and Powder
River Basins in the Rocky Mountains,
the San Joaquin Basin and enhanced
recovery projects the Permian Basin.
Her long-term interest has been in the
development and redevelopment of
Vicksburg, Frio and Wilcox tight-gas
assets in the South Texas Rio Grande
Basin where she has drilled more
than 100 wells including more than a
score in the McAllen Ranch and the
McAllen Pharr fields. Currently she is

and other forms of unconventional gas.
Keith received a B.A. in geology with
honors (1952) from Occidental College
in Los Angeles and undertook graduate
studies in geology at the University of
Colorado and University of California
(Los Angeles).
He began his work in the industry in
1953 when he joined Shell Oil Co.
in California. From 1956 to 1958 he
worked for a small U.S. oil company in
Ecuador, South America. In late 1958
he returned to southern California,
where he worked for several independent
petroleum-consulting firms.
Since 1960, Keith has lived in the
Denver, Colorado, area, where he has
been affiliated with Sinclair Oil & Gas
Corp., Colorado Geological Survey,
Colorado School of Mines Research
Institute and several independent oil
companies, in addition to his work as a
consulting geologist. His involvement
in the field of coalbed methane (CBM)
began in 1975 when he served as chief
of the Mineral Fuels Section of the
Colorado Geological Survey. While
there, he supervised the first CBM
studies conducted by a state agency in
the western United States.
Since 1975, Keith has been involved in
many CBM research, exploration and
development projects for both industry
and government in a number of U.S.
basins, as well as in Alberta and British
Columbia, Canada; Australia; People’s
Republic of China; Germany; Indonesia;
Mexico; Poland; United Kingdom; and
Zimbabwe. He has authored or coauthored
more than 50 technical papers, maps and
abstracts on energy subjects that have
been published by both professional
societies and government agencies.
In 1981, he was co-founder of The
Coalbed Methane Forum (Denver area)
and served as a member of its Steering
Committee and as forum moderator
through 1993. He has been a member of
the Potential Gas Committee since 1966.
Currently, he serves as a member of the
PGC Board of Directors, as chairman
of the PGC Coalbed Methane Work
Committee and as a technical advisor for
other types of unconventional gas.
Keith has served as national vice
president of the American Association
of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and as
