AAPG Petroleum Structure and Geomechanics Division Details
Driven by keen interest in geomechanics and supported by an established foundation in structural geology and tectonics, the amalgamated discipline of petroleum structural geology and geomechanics is one of the fastest growing disciplines in petroleum geoscience. Evidence of the growing importance of this technical area includes rapid growth of technical teams on these topics within companies, the increasing importance of deep and/or geomechanically complex targets, and the proliferation of papers and specialty meetings on petroleum structural geology and geomechanics.The goals of the PSGD are to:• Increase the quantity and quality of specialty conferences, publications, and educational outreach for the petroleum structure and geomechanics disciplines within the AAPG.• Provide greater discipline-specific assistance to local organizing groups.• Serve an important interest community within the general AAPG membership.
