Dr. Scott Tinker Presents to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention and Exhibition

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and its divisions, along with the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) and the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies (GCAGS), invited Dr. Scott Tinker to speak at the online AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition (ACE).

Dr. Tinker discussed several current energy trends, such as evolving energy infrastructure that will cost trillions of dollars. The energy mix will evolve concurrently with infrastructure and vary by geography. As the energy mix and infrastructure become more complex, education will play an increasingly important role. 

“Most people don’t know where hydrocarbons come from or how electricity is made,” said Dr. Tinker. “But they think they do!”

Founded in 1917, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization that provides publications, conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and disseminates the most current geological information available to the general public. AAPG's membership is made up of about 40,000 members in 129 countries.
