SPEAKER FOR NOON LUNCHEON

Hunter Yarbarowh. a conwltim

December 1 1, 1974

He wos inwlved i n surtace and wbwrtace gwlogy In the southeastern United States and south&& New M e x i c o from 1940 to 1947. In 1947 he became Assistant to h ' s V i c e President and Explomtion Manager, Houston. Later assignmentr included Arm Geologist (California), h i s t an t Chief Geologist (Houston), Coordinabr of the B d n Studies Proiect, and from 1%3 tcp 1574 he was Senior Geologic Scientist . Mr. Yarborough has served as Distinguished Lecturer of the American Association of Petrolgum Geologists, and has g i v en technical addresses on oi l finding to many of the universities and most of the geological societies of the United States. He i s a two-time r e c i p i en t of the A. I. Levorsen Memorial Award, having received this honor in 1967 and 1971. He i s a Certified Petroleum Gwlcgist; a m ember of The Americcm Association of Petroleum Geologists; a Fellow of The Geological Society of America, and i s a member of nwnbeous other professional organizations.

PLATE TECTONICS AND THE OCCURRENCE OF MAJOR HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATIONS

Most major hydrocarbon accumulations occur in basins formed during the Meso- zoic and the Cenozoic. Many of these basins, their contained sediments, and their structural and stratigraphically trapped oi l and gas fields appear to be genetically related to the hypotheses of Plate Tectonics.

Many are basins formed at plate bo u n d a r i e s . Three fundamental methods of basin d eve l o pm en t according to type of plate margin deformation are reviewed: tensional , compressional, and shear-zone. Basin types, structural styles, and sedi- mentary histories are reviewed for different plate margins.

Significant intracratonic basins have developed as a result of embryonic and/or aborted "pull-apart" zones; shear-zones "cracking" the c r a t o n s ; and "sinks" (and their associated uplifts) due to viscosity inhomogeneities within the asthenosphere.

Many major world wide eustatic changes i n sea level appear to be due to the episodic nature of sea floor spreading. Accordingly, much of the paleogeographic history of our continents appears to be related to the hypotheses of Plate Tectonics.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PETROLEUM GEOLOGISTS SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS

As stated by Pre s i d e n t Merril l W. I-laas, the AAPG has credibility with the Federal Government which can be used to counter the multitude ofso-called experts who, by issuing unfounded charges, have molded public opinion to make the petroleum industry the s c a p e g o a t for the energy crisis. In an effort to provide public officials with data they can t r u s t and use in their d ec i s i o n -making process, the Special Committee on Pu b l i c Affairs has been established by the AAPG Executive Committee.

HGS member Michel T. Halbouty i s the General Chairman of this Committee. Reporting to ~ ' m wi l l be District Chairmen who have responsibility for the program in the states ussigned to each. Two individuals w i l l be appointed for each state as Direct Communicators to serve under the District Chairman.

The Direct Communicator must be a member of AAPG. He should havecordial relations with his Senator, be an i n d i v i d u a I whom the Senator respects and from whom he wi l l seek and accept advice. Preferably, the Direct Communicator should be a prominent member of the community, a competent geologist informed on current events, articulate and persuasive, motivated, and free to spend time in carrying out his duties. His contacts must be conducted on an irreproachable ethical and moral level, that of a concernedcitizen and geologist on an educational and informational mission. His duties s h a l I consist of visits with his Senator, and the frequency wi l l depend on the existing circumstances. He wi l l attempt to keepthe Senator informed by personal contacts, occasional telephone calls, telegrams, and letters.

Assisting the Gen. Chairman, The Dist. Chairman, and the Direct Communicator w i l l be a Coordinating Committee under the chairmanship of J. R. J a c k son, Jr., P. 0. Box 2180, Houston, Texas 77001.

Individual AAPG members who desire to participate in this program should g e t i n touch d i r e c t I y with Mr. Jackson or James H. Davis (s am e address, AC 71 3 - 221 -5979).

T h i s program, although directed to informing the Senators, does not preclude others from communicating with their Representatives or other elected officials when information i s needed. Each member of our Association needs to keep informed and to communicate with the public by addressing clubs, schools, etc. We must deal in facts. With facts, we can perform a service to our profession and to our nation.

General C h a i rm a n Halbouty w i l l welcome response. Let's give him our full cooperation.

SPECIAL NOTICES

Papers are b e i ng solicited for the G.C.A.G.S. Annual Meeting, October 22-24,, 1975, Jackson, M i s s i s s i p p i . This w i l l be the Twenty-F i f t h Anniversary of the G.C.A.G.S. Member societies are requested to lend their cooperation inproviding speakers for this occasior! . Prospective speakers are urged to submit a t i t le and, i f possible, a brief abstract for consideration of the Program Committee. The Editor has set a deadline of April 1, 1975 for receipt of the ma n us c r i p t s . Specific instructions as to requirements for publication wi l l be mailed to the authors immediately upon selection.

Please reply to Emil T. Monsour, P. 0. Box 219, Jackson, Mississippi, 39205.

The Branch of Oil and Gas Resources, together with the Branches of Atlantic-Gulf Marine G e o l o g y and Pacific-Arctic Marine Geology, wishes to a n n o u nc e the "USGS Petroleum Research and Resources Seminar," an open conference to be held Wednesday and Thursday, December 11 and 12, i n G o l d en , Colorado, where on- shore and offshore basins, w i l l be reviewed. Oi I and gas related research has been sharply accelerated by USGS during the past two years, and t h i s i s an opportunity to survey recent work, as well as to make a provision for an exchange of ideas and information.

Ph.D. PROGRAM IN GEOLOGY APPROVED AT UH

The University of Houston Department of Geology has been approved to a w a r d the Ph.D. Degree i n Geology (including Geophysics) by the State Coordinating Board for the Texas College and University System. The program i s designed for both full- time and part-time students and was initiated i n response to local industry demand. Students w i l l be accepted i n the program beginning n ex t fall. Information on the p r o g ram and its requirements can be obtained from Dr. John C. Butler, Graduate Advisor, Geology Department, University of Houston, 77004, phone - 749-3868.

COMMITTEE REPORTS PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE

The H o u s t o n Geological Society's 1974-75 Public Relations Committee i s chaired this year by H. T. "Spud" Brundage, geologist with Champlin Petroleum Company. 0 t h e r members are James Montgomery, exploration editor of World Oil magazine; B. Otto Pixler of Baroid; and DeWitt Van Siclen of the University of Houston.

Objectives of this year include determination of the best, readiest, o i l industry information reference facilities to assist Houston-area news reporters; commendation of good work by non-geologists who make outstanding contributions to better public understanding of the ea r t h sciences; attempts to provide more earth science information to public television; and d e t e rm i n a t i o n of policy for future similar HGS committees, with particular reference to radio and telecasting laws and regulations.

Public Relations i s everyone's job, not just the business of a four-man P.R. committee. Nothing exemplifies this point better than A. H. Wadsworth, Jr.'s fine pre- sentation on Channel 2 news as reported i n the Nov., 1974 HGS Bulletin.

Perhaps, we no longer need to try so hard to reach g en e r a l reporters. Hopefully, given some encouragement and direction, they wi l l come to us. I f they do, we need to h a v e our information ready. The oi l industry's public relations program has ob- viously been unsatisfactory i n the past. So, i t i s time to examine the reasons why, to try new approaches based on the facts, and then to move forward to constructive solutions.

Spud Brundage

DELTA STUDY GROUP

ON THE DISTAFF SIDE

Our organization i s celebrating itssilver Anniversary. That, in itself, makes the Auxiliary's events for this year particularly important. First was the Fashion Seminar and Luncheon. Next i s the December Crafts Luncheon. Then comes our Silver Anniversary Ball in February.

Midge Schrock, First V i c e President (Social), i s responsible for a l l Auxiliary events. She works with the chairman in planning, organizing, and laying the groundwork for the events.

Midge moved to Houston from Son Antonio seven years ago. In San Antonio, she was active in Desk and Derrick. A past President of Geo Wives, Midge chaired the C r a f t s Luncheon last year. She i s a member of the S h e r w o o d Garden Club and enjoys tennis, bridge, and sewing. She and her husband, Robert J., l ive at 11314 Oak Spring.

The Lafayette women succeeded i n making the 24th Annual Gulf Coast Convention another success for those women attending with their husbands. The hostesses were recognized through- out the convention with their long southern dresses and bonnets. Enjoying an Arcadian luncheon with a style show of Mardi Gras c o s t um es were these members: Betty Burkett, Fran Burkhead, Norma Bacho and Myrtis Trowbridge. Seen at the brunch and antique show were these members: Belen Scholl, Faye Lewis, Suzanne Howell and Janny Carsey. By the way, i f you need to bor- row a bonnet or need a good rice recipe from a french cookbook, be sure and call one of these gals because those were the favors from the convention.

Celebrating their Silver Anniversary i n Oc tob~r were Doug and E. J. Bacon with a five day trip to the Las Brisas in Acapulco--Only to return home to an anniversary party given by friends in their honor. For this s p e c i a l occasion, friends and relatives came as far as Iowa and North Carolina.

In mid-October, Virginia and Harold Voigt were touring Spain a n d Portugal only to return to the S t a t e s as Gladys and A. L. Selig were leaving. The Seligs spent eleven days visiting Madrid and many other cities of Spain, as well as 7 days on the coastline of Portugal, and then on to Tangier, Morocco. Gladys had a wonderful time on her long awaited trip.

Elma Carey joined 14 other Texans for an eleven day bus tour of the New England States, as well as the s o u t h e r n part of Canada. She was d e l i g h t e d when they were caught in the first snowfall of the year.

Jerry and Jimmy Wheeler flew to Son Juan the latter part of October where they caught an English Liner and cruised the Caribbean. They spent a week in Barbados, then spent their second week visiting Grenada, St. Thomas and Curacao Islands. Jerry reports that they had a wonderful trip but enioyed the food aboard the ship a l i t t le too much.. . . .

The Williams, John and Alene, are home from Hot Springs, Ark. after a two week holiday. Don't forget the Arts and Crafts Show, December 5, at Lakeside Country Club. Avis reports

it's going to be another success.

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY! Glenna Floyd

GEO-WIVES

For those of you p l a n n i n g to make the Geo-Wives Christmas 0 p e n House, December 8, p i ease note the change of address . The new location wi l l be the D. W. Lane home, 12214 Mossycup, (call 461-1637 for directions). The time wi l l be 4 - 8 p.m. This c h a n g e occurred because, while the Thomases were en joying a board of directors meeting of the National Ocean Industry Association i n La Jolla, California, their house was vandalized on Halloween.

P& Boss and husband, Ralph, are getting ready to l e a v e for a skiing vacation i n Northern California the first of December.

Margo Hagen's daughter, Kathy, became the new proud bride of Larry Clevenger in a small chapel wedding November 2.

Geo-Wives received extra special service at Brennan's November 20, (due to the Brennan sisters being i n town). Dr. Jane Preston, Psychologist, gave a very interesting talk to 51 members and their guests on adapting to a new environment i n a new c o m m u n i t y . Many members joined us at the meeting for the first time and brings the Geo-Wives membership to 73.
