PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

First, your president wants to wish for you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year.

Our Houston Geological Society is so far having a good year. Financially, it is in good shape. Our programs have been excellent with better than expected attendance. Most of our committees are working on their various projects. Hopefully, the remainder of the society year will be even better.

The most bothersome item that we still have to contend with is reservations for our dinner and luncheon meetings. Both Dean Grafton and I have spoken of this problem at our meetings. I would like to quote from the remarks Dean made at our Nov. 24th Meeting:

"I would like to take a minute to review the noon luncheon meeting procedure with you. You have noted on the front cover of the bulletin that reservations for our Wednesday luncheon meetings are requested to be in by the preceding Monday. There are two compelling reasons for this request. One . . . the hotel must know on Monday how many to plan for because the food purveying industry requires 48 hours advance notice on food orders. Apparently, the local restaurant supply business is so good that theseller dictates to the customer rather than vice versa. Two. . . the hotel does not have an adequate supply of permanent waiters; they hire their waiters through a hiring hall and again, 48 hours advance notice is required.

In both September and October, our reservations have increased over 100 from Monday at noon to Tuesday at noon. While the Rice Rittenhouse has managed to accomodate us so far, their catering management has indicated they do not wish to continue in this manner.

Now that you are aware of the problems, I am confident that you will cooperate and have your reservations in by noon on Monday for our Wednesday luncheon meetings."

We have the same requirements of committing to a guaranteed minimum for our evening meetings with a 5% average allowed.

We don't want to loose a participant but we certainly would appreciate each of you making reservations by noon of the appropriate day.

HAL H. BYBEE, President Houston Geological Society

CONTINUING EDUCATION PREVIOUS PROGRAM:

Two hundred and seventy-five geoscientists attended Dr. Berg's two-day lecture series on sandstone stratigraphic traps. The six hour program was enthusiastically delivered and well illustrated with subsurface maps and cross-sections from areas where Dr. Berg has worked. According to solicited comments most of the geoscientists enjoyed the seminar.

Rufus LeBlanc of Shell Oil Company took a busload of field trippers on the Brazos River excursion fora close look at point bars, delta sands, and barrier islands. Although the Saturday trip had every appearance of being a weather failure, the skies parted and the sun shone through to makea beautiful day.

UPCOMING PROGRAM:

The next program will be "Exploration for Turbiditesand Other Deep-Water Sandstones" by Dr. George DeVries Klein. The three hour lecture will be held on January 20,1977, at the Exxon Auditorium starting at 1:30 P.M. Preregistrants can enter at 1 :00 P.M., and tickets may be purchased at the door or reserved through the Houston Geological Society, 234 Esperson Building, Houston, 77002. The cost is $10 for students, $15 preregistration, and $20 at the door. An informative, detailed 109-page syllabus is included with the course.

Dr. Klein received a B.A. from Wesleyan University, an M.A. from the University of Kansas, and a Ph.D. from Yale in 1960. He has worked as a Research Sedimentologist for Sinclair Research, and as a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Illinois where he presently teaches.

BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Emphasis is placed on recognizing the different types of deep-water sandstone bodies occurring in various oceanic settings. This course is designed for exploration geologists and exploration geophysicists.

The lectures cover deep ocean sand transport mecha- nisms, the types of sediments produced by each mechanism, the criteria for distinguishing geometries, and differences in geophysical properties that aid in their recognition. Differen- ces in occurrence and types of turbidite and contourite sedimentary bodies are recognized in several depositional settings such as mid-ocean ridges, abyssal plains, oceanic trenches, marginal basins and continental slopes. Data from the Deep Sea Drilling Project will be incorporated for recognition of various tectonic controls on turbidite and other deep-water sand body style and development.

WilLIAM J. BURGESS - Biographical Sketch

Dr. William J. Burgess wasborn in New York City.During World War II heserved in Europe with theU. S. Navy AmphibiousForces, taking part in theinvasion of Normandy. Onreturning from service heattended St. Peter's Col-

lege in Jersey City, NewJersey and received his A.B. degree with honors in1949. He then attended

Columbia University inNew York for a year ofgraduate work. In 1950 he

joined Sinclair Oil and Gas Company in Tulsa where hedirected exploration studies throughout the Mid-Continent,Rocky Mountains, Canada, the Pacific Northwest, and theGulf Coast. In 1965, with the encouragement and help of hiswife, Rita, and their six children, he returned to Columbia

University to complete work towards the doctorate andreceived the Ph.D. degree in 1968. Dr. Burgess rejoinedSinclair Oil and Gas Company which merged with AtlanticRichfield Company in 1969. For the past several years he hasconducted exploration studies largely in the Mesozoic rocksof the Gulf Coast. His specialties have included analyses ofsedimentary basins with emphasis on paleoenvironmentsand stratigraphic interpretation of geophysical data. Hismore recent interests involve studies in the relationshipsamong stratigraphy, hydrocarbon accumulation, and theconcepts that derive from the new global tectonics.

GEOLOGIC EVOLUTION OF THE MID-CONTINENT'AND GULF COAST AREAS - A PLATE TECTONICS

VIEW (Abstract)

by: Dr. William J. Burgess

The Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent areas of the southern

United States, in the past 500 million years, are postulated tohave been the scene, first, of conti nental approach andcollision, and later of a rifting almost at the site of the suture.Spreading apart of the newly formed continents proceededto the present. This paper presents a review of these events. Aseries of cross sections and maps shows an interpretation ofthe tectonic evolution of the region beginning in Cambriantime and extending through the Neogene.

As extensions of the open ocean, epicontinental seas ofLate Cambrian through Mississippian time deposited largelycarbonate rocks over a vast region in what is now the Mid-Continent area. From Pennsylvanian time to the end of thePaleozoic, as the continents closed rapidly causing greatinstability in the area, terrigenous deposits dominated Mid-Continent sedimentation. Collision of the continents oc-

curred in about early Mid-Pennsylvanian time creating the

Ouachita suture belt which contains the basinal rocks of the

Early and Middle Paleozoic. By Triassic time the sea hadwithdrawn completely from the Mid-Continent area andrifting had begun south of the Ouachitas.

Plate tectonic movements have affected the distribution

of hydrocarbon deposits in the Mid-Continent and the GulfCoast areas. The location and shifting through time of asedimentational and tectonic hingeline may have beencontrolled in part by plate movement. Structure and trapstyle, timing in trap development, and quality of trap also mayhave been affected by plate tectonic movement, particularlyin the late stages of continental approach (for Mid-Continent) and the early stages of moving apart (for the GulfCoast) .

GEOLOGISTS GO BAR-HOPPING

Led by indomitable Rufus J. LeBlanc, 40 or so geologistsfrom the HGS Continuing Education Program went bar-hopping November 20th, visiting several unique bars alongthe Brazos River between Richmond and Galveston.

Mr. LeBlanc, who obviously has spent considerable timeat these places, gave detailed and intriguing accounts of allthe activities that have taken place over the past many years.Much of the discussion was about being looped andmeandering. The geologic group was fascinated over thesurprising things that can be seen, such as bar fingers, bedform, exposed large ripples, mud balls, onlapping, and somemention was made about being poorly bedded.

Perhaps it should be pointed out that this trip wasanother of the Recent Sediments of Southeast Texas field

trips and that the bars visited were point bar deposits alongthe Brazos River valley and barrier island bars at Galveston.This tri p has been sponsored many times by the HGS and is aclassic, to summarize it in one word.

The group of geologists had spent the earlier part of theweek in the HGS Continuing Education Program, "Explora-tion for Sandstone Stratigraphic Traps," led by Dr. Berg, andMr. LeBlanc's field trip was a natural follow-up andculmination of the program.

If you haven't been bar-hopping with Rufus, you havemissed out. It is superbly led, highly documented, thought-provoking, congenial, and modestly stated, one of the bestfield trips ever produced. In cooperation with Shell Develop-ment Company, Mr. LeBlanc has investigated nearly everyaspect of point bar and offshore bar depositional processes,and their relationship to stratigraphic traps. If and when it'soffered again, don't miss it. You surely will see something youhaven't seen before.

GEOLOGY OF BERING SHELF (Abstract)

by: Dr. Sankey L. Blanton, Jr.

The present Bering Shelf is the largest untested,contiguous marine area in the free world that is drillable withtoday's technology. The present Bering Tertiary basins havean optimum potential for sizable accumulations of hydrocar-bons.

The present shelf edge approximates the position of theCretaceous shelf edge. The tectonic evolution of the sh~lfhas made correlation of the geologic history of the Mesozoiconshore with the offshore impossible. The formation of largeshelf edge tensional basins (Navarin and St. George),immediately after plate neutralization, suggests that com-mon solutions of pull-aparts and/or arc related basins areinadequate to explain the geologic setting. Apparently, theKula plate interface vacillated between subduction andtransform phenomena during the Mesozoic. Neutralizationoccurred in early Tertiary time when the Aleutian Arc wasinterposed between the tip of the Kula plate and its spreadingcenter (bulk of the plate).

The best geologic analogs to the Navarin and St. Georgebasins are the Gulf Coast Interior Salt Basins.

PUBLICATIONS CHANGES

A Yucatan field trip guidebook is now included as one of the regular Houston Geological Society publications for sale to members and the public. Recent exploration activity in Central America has renewed interest in the guidebook which was prepared for the 1973 HGS-sponsored trip to the northeastern part of the peninsula. The book includes illustrations, maps, and bibliography in addition to a spritely discussion of the area geology. The authors are M. L. Broussard, M. M. Osborne, G. E. Gordon, and J. L. Wilson. George Hinds was Chairman of the Field Trip Committee. The guidebook went on sale January 1, 1977 for $4.00 plus tax and postage.

Another January 1 change was the reduction in price of the Abnormal Subsurface Pressure Report. The HGS- sponsored study joins four other publications five years or older at the absolute minimum price of $1.00. Also please note in the complete list of HGS publications below that we no longer carry the Structure, Stratigraphy and Petroleum Potential of the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Thisvery successful report, published in 1974, has completely sold out.

"We've never

Magcobar DATA units with ONBOARD Ill wellsite com- puter systems arc winning the praise and respect of field engineers and g e o l o p u alike. In the words ofone engineer with a major oil company. "We've never gotten real numbers like this so fast." And others who have seen the ONBOARD Ill agree that its versatility. speed and accuracy exceed that ofany other wellsite computer system. Here's why.

ONBOARD 111 can monltor 64 variables during drilling opcmions. The system also includes 20 customer-oriented programs to analyze and display more than 200 mults. For example. ONBOARD Ill calculates rate of penemtion and ptpe veloaty with .0l second resolu~ion. The Annular Pressure Loss program computes mud column acceleration while the pipe is moving and then calculates multing eKei~~.;c hydrostatic head.

ONBOARD I11 can average monitored variables over a time period exmding 30 minutes-in fact. up ro nine hours-without overflow which results in erroneous numbers.

The DATA ONBOARD 111 computer system includes a 2.5 million-word tape storage for well histories and a 2.5 million- word tape storage for programs. Commands. interrogations and analyred output are executed in the DATA unit at the wellsite or through the customer's oRce terminal. whether the well is onshore or offshore.

ONBOARD Ill can run real- time monitoring and calculating funct~ons and. concurrently. it can run customer-oriented

programs or handle customer interrogation by phone.

ONBOARD I11 uses any rig power. but is completely isolated from rig power source fluctuations for continuous, reliable infor- mation. It cPn operate for at least ten minutes on stand-by power in an emergency. And can recover from an extended power failure in ten seconds. ONBOARD 111 1.

the most advanced well data computer system available-the only one providingsuch a high degree of drilling and geological information and analyses.

Put all the advantages o f a DATA unit with ONBOARD Ill on your wells. Call or write your Magcobar DATA Unit representative: Magcobar Division. Drcrser Industries. Inc.. P. 0. Box 6504. Houston. Texas 77005.713/784-6011.
