PRESIDENT'S CORNER
I t is with the greatest of p l e a s u r e that I can report to you that the society has
received a g i f t of $1,000.00 i n m e m o r y o f one of i t s longtime members. Such a g i f t
I believe is without precedent.
The Executive Committee is c o n s i d e r in g various ways to which this g i f t could
best be put to use as a tribute to the person i n whose memory i t was given.
The society should be extremely grateful for such a wonderful e x p r e s s i o n of
interest.
Out of respect for the donor's wishes, we are withholding her name.
-- Fred M. Schall,
Jr.
EDITORIAL
The story about everyone complaining, and no one doing anything about i t is an
old one. In a way the situation applies to our Society, p a r t ic u I a r Iy i n respect to
attendance a t the noon and evening programs.
Members who have mailed i n reservation cards certainly have a right to complain
about slow service or hastily prepared meals when the difficulties have been caused by
a large number of geologists who d i d not make reservations. The Houston Club and Rice
Hotel do an excellent job of coping with the wide variations i n attendance, but even
they have some limitations which occassionally result in so m e w h a t reduced effectiveness.
Advance reservations are not meant to discourage those who find they can come
to a meeting a t the last minute or visitors, but they are intended to i n s u r e adequate
preparations for those who can plan ahead. The solution to the problem i s simple, and
we can a l l do something about i t i n the time i t takes to sign and mail the return card.
HGS MEMBERS TAKE PRIZES AT GCAGS C O N V E N T I O N
The Society can be iustifiably proud of the fact that three of its m e m b e r s took
prizes for Best Papers a t the GCAGS Convention i n Miami last f a l l . The prizes are as
follows: First Place Perry 0. Roehl, Second Place James K.Rogers, Third Place
(tie)
Donald F . McNamee. Details of t h e s e honors w i l l appear i n n e x t month's
bulletin.

April 15th:
A n o l d f a s h i o n honest-t~-~oodness
Shrimp P e e I
Plenty o f delicious
boiled shrimp and cold beer. This e v e n t w i l l be h e l d a t the K .C. Hall, 607
E. Whitney. W e a t h e r w i l l not be a factor, as both indoor and outdoor facilities are available. Attached i s a return envelope i n which you may send your
check
made payable to H.G.S. (Shrimp), for tickets. We are asking that you
also enclose a s e l f - a d d r e s s e d stamped envelope so that your tickets may be
returned. Since plans for food and beverage must be made in strict accordance
with the response, tickets must be purchased i n advance. The price i s $3.75 per
person, $7.50 per couple. The hours are 7 P.M. to 10 P.M.; strictly informal.
Cancellations w i l l be honored until noon, Monday, April 13th.

Mcly 22nd:
The best H .G. S. G o l f Tournament ever, w i t h d i n n e r and Bingo Party
afterwards. Fabulous and not-so-fabulous prizes galore for both golf and bingo.
Neither you nor your wife w i l l want to miss this. To be held at the Sharpstown
Country Club, tee-off times beginning at 12 noon. The golf event may have to
be necessarily limited, so start making your plans now. If you should happen not
to be a golfer, separate tickets may be purchased for just the dinner and bingo.
Further information w i l l be made available soon, as to prices for either or both
events and, as to where you should make your reservations for dinner and tee-off
times.
Let me t e l l you a l i t t l e about some of the golf prizes. The s e r v i c e companies
contacted so far have been very cooperative and generous. I'm sure others to be
contacted i n the near future w i l l be just as generous. First there i s the beautiful
Dresser-Atlas trophy to be awarded to winner of the tournament, (to be determined
by a suitable handicapping system). Then great prizes w i l l be awarded to those
whose golf balls are closest to the hole on each of the four par 3 holes. Take a
look
a set of 9 pro line irons, d o n a t e d by Schlumberger; a set of 4 pro line
woods, d o n a t e d by Schlumberger; a pro line golf bag, d o n a t e d by Core Lab;
and a complete golfing attire consisting of shoes, slacks and shirt, d o n a t e d by
Baroid. That's a pretty good start, but I'm sure there w i l l be many more for some
deserving, ski1lful, lucky golfers. Also bingo prizes.

IMPORT CONTROLS: HOW DRASTIC CHANGES WOULD
AFFECT THE EXPLORATIONISTS
by Michel T. Halbouty
HGS Bulletin - March, 1970
We h a v e received a number of comments about Mike's d i s c us s i o n of Import
Controls published i n last months Bulletin. The f o l l o w i n g i s of particular interest.
Editor, HGS Bulletin:
M y following c o m m e n t regarding M r . Halbouty's recent article i s respectfully
submitted for publication in the April, 1970 H.G.S. Bulletin.
With respect to Mr. Halbouty's timely comments regarding "Import Controls" i n
the March Bulletin, I would l i k e to make the following remarks, not in criticism but as
an "open question" from a concerned exploration geologist.
I cannot help but wonder "why" intelligent men i n Washington do not apparently
understand the obvious consequences of their actions in not only reducing the depletion
allowance but in now seriously considering the ridiculous r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s of the
cabinet task force as outlined by M r . Halbouty.
In my
Frankly
, o ,~ i n i o nthe answer to the above has to be i n c o m m u n i c a t i o n
most of the arguments I have formerly read in favor of depletion a I I o w a n c e and in
import controls have rung very h o I l o w on me and yet I know the writers are speaking
arg
only i n industry
the truth. When a good
- u m e n t i s written, i t appears
. magazines.
.
I believe industry
to tell not only Congress and the President but the pe*
why tremendous sums are paid for o f f s h o r e leases off our shores and why the industry
has no choice but to do so.
If these questions are answered candidly to people other than ourselves, I believe
the break down i n communication can be restored.
Yours very truly,

Dear George:
I thank you f o r s e n d i n g m e a copy of the l e t t e r which y o u s e n t to John J.
Amoruso dated March 5, c o m m e n t i n g on my paper entitled "Import Control: How
Drastic Changes Would Affect the Explorationists" published in the March issue o f the
Houston Geological Society Bulletin.
I agree with you that the basic answer to our problems i s definitely in the field
of communication. This i s the reason why the Energy Research and Education Foundation (EREF) was recently organized. Those of us who are interested i n the formation of
this new entity were convinced that a two way communication b e t w e e n the industry
and the public was absolutely necessary.
The most important feature of the Foundation i s that i t was not created to serve
the industry. Its purpose i s to serve the public by informing i t through every channel

of communication possible about the energy industry which, o f course, includes petroleum. The reason is quite simple. The public knows almost nothing about the energy
complex, especially that of petroleum. Yet i t is as dependent on the industry as the
industry is on the pub1i c . They are totally interdependent.
Our energy based economy is vital to the welfare of every citizen. The people
have not been told this simple fact i n a manner they can c o m p r e h e n d
A l l of the
petroleum industry's problems stem from this overwhelming failure. The purpose of EREF
is to solidify the u n d e r s t a n d i n g between the
and industry through basic but
comprehensible facts. As this understanding develops, the petroleum in d u s t r y would
benefit by having public support. Public s u p p o r t means Congressional support which
the industry sorely needs.
Because the Foundation has taken this important point of view, which is a new,
fresh approach to the public mind that has never been attempted before, i t has received
outstanding s u p p o r t from individuals i n and out of the petroleum industry a l l over the
United States and even from interested parties i n s e v e r a l foreign countries. I t is my
suggestion that i t would be w e l l for a l l i n d iv id u a I s interested i n the welfare of the
I t is through this medium which we
petroleum industry to assist EREF i n its p u r p o s e
hope to restore the breakdown i n c o m mu n i c a t i o n s which you so aptly referred to i n
your letter.
Most sincerely,
(signed) Michel T. Halbouty

The Energy Research and Education F a u n d a t io n (EREF) has its headquarters i n
Houston a t 2259 W. Holcombe Blvd., Su i t e VI. The noted o i l historian and author,
James A . Clark i s President of the Foundation, and the r o s t e r of the Board of Directors looks l i k e a list of Who's Who i n the o i l industry. M i k e Halbouty did not mention
i t i n his letter, but he is Chairman of the Board which also includes such we1 l known men
as M o r g a n Davis, K e n n e t h Montague, J a k e Hamon, Herman Pressler, Corbin J.
Robertson, Corey Croneis, Ernest B. Miller, and John R. M c M i l l a n .
The EREF is a very young organizotion, but fills a void that has existed too long.
The industry can do nothing but gain by better communicotion.

TOPICS FOR THE APRIL MEETINGS
ABSTRACT
NATURAL GAS:
OIL'S PRINCIPAL COMPETITOR
by
B. W. Beebe
Petroleum gases ond liquids, often occurring together, are found i n the same types
of traps by the same exploratory m e t h o ds and are exploitedond produced i n the same
manner. Moreover, a l l crude o i l contains some notural gas, but nearly75percent of 011
naturol gases are not associated w i t h crude a i l i n the reservoir. The two phases of petroleum are highly competitive.
There are important differences i n the physics and chemistry of natural gases and
crude o i l . Naturol gases are a mixture of various organic compounds, usually accomponied by smal ler amounts of inorganic e l e m e n t s and compounds. Natural gases of
commerce are p e t r o l e u m naturol gases, although helium and hydrogen sulfide, also
natural goses, may be valuable components. Even carbon dioxide, also a natural gas,

finds markets. Physically, natural gases are highly mobile, difficult to contain, and
are soluble i n both crude o i l and water, particularly under pressure.
Chemically, there are marked differences between petroleum natural gases and
crude o i l . Methane i s the simplest, most ubiquitous and principal component of petroleum natural gases. I t i s often accompanied by much s m a I l e r quantities o f heavier
hydrocarbons. Natural gases are alkanes: paraffinic, saturated, straight chain hydrocarbons. The division between petroleum naturalgases and the somewhat more complex
heavier alkanes occurring with them as vapors, i s between propane and butane. Butane
and heavier paraffinic hydrocarbons can be f o u n d both as normal, saturated straight
chain or as isomers; saturated, branched chain hydrocarbon compounds. The substantial
chemical differences between the simple compounds of petroleum gases and the far more
complex crude oils suggest somewhat different modes of origin. An early and multiple
origin for methane seems probable, inasmuch as substantial q u a n t it i es are found in
youngest Recent sediments in swamps and
drift, and its presence as part of the
atmosphere of several of the planets.
The vastly different physical and c h em i c a I characteristics of petroleum gases
and crude o i l have a great bearing on economics of exploring for, d e v e l o p i n g a n d
producing them. The phenomenal growth in productia~ and the use of natural gas as a
form of primary energy have been maior factors in decline in growth i n need for crude
o i l . The two substances are directly competitive for space heating, for domestic uses,
and for generation of electricity. Liquefied petroleum gases ("natural gasolines") and
lease condensate have f u r t h e r supplanted crude o i l . Production of petroleum natural
gases, wet, increased from 4,423 t r i I I i o n BTU i n 1945 to 20,121 t r i I I i o n BTU i n
1967, and i n 1967amounted to 36.4 percent (excluding lease condensate) of production
of primary energy, compared to 32.6 percent for crude o i l (including lease condensate).
Moreover, according to Winger et all dry n a t u r a l gas yields less than four cents of
.every dollar of income from a representative group of companies, financial characteristics of which have been studied for years by the Chase M a n h a t t a n Bank. Although
natural gas liquids and l e a s e condensate add somewhat to this amount, natural gas i s
a'much less attractive exploration obiective than crude o i l .
Most of the n a t u r a I gases found i n the past have been found as a result of the
search for crude o i l . Under present economic conditions, natural gases alone are not
attractive exploration objectives i n most areas of the United States. Hence, as demand
has continued to accelerate, d r i I l i n g of gas wells has declined sharply, and ratio of
annual production to annual additions to r e s e r v e s has declined to a dangerous point.
Unless this trend i s reversed, the next few years may see a shortage of available natural
gases, when none exists i n nature, simply because of lack of incentive to search for and
develop natural gasses i n the quantities which w i l l be needed.
ABSTRACT
--------HIGHLIGHTS OF GEOPHYSICALAND GEOLOGIC STUDIES IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
DURING 1969 FROM THE USNS KANE
During 1969, the U. 5. G e o l o g i c a I Survey and the U. S. N a v a l Oceanographic O f f i c e completed as a joint effort a basinwide survey of the G u l f of Mexico.
Thesurvey was carriedout i n twophasesof i n v e s t i g a t i o n s : G e o p h y s i c s a l o n g

profiling using a 160 Ki sparker seismic system; and sa m p l i n g of bottom sediments by
piston corer. For the sediments s t u d ie s scientists of the two Federal Agencies w e r e
joined by scientists from Rice University, Texas A & M University, The Marine Institute
of the University of Texas, Louisiana S t a t e University, and Florida State University.
The basinwide acoustical profiles d r a ma t i c a I l y demonstrated the rolesalt has
played i n the tectonics of the northern and western G u l f of Mexico. The records reveal that growth of most of the diapirs has occurred in stages and that the several physiographic provinces of the western G u l f of Mexico are expressive of both the geometry
of the diapirs and of the magnitude of deformation to which the subs t r a t a have been
subiected. Across the abyssal plain several prominent reflecting horizons were recorded
to a depth of 4.7 seconds. The sequences of s t r a t a across the abyssal plain indicate
changes i n directions of sediment transport through time. Profiles in the southern and
eastern G u l f of Mexico across scarps of the Campeche and Florida carbonate platforms
show prominent rimming reef-like structures that seem to have persisted throughout much
of the Cretaceous period. The presence and thickness of these reef-like masses suggests
large scale subsidence of the eastern G u l f of Mexico floor since Cretaceous time.
Maps of trace element distribution i n bottom sediments suggest that both bottom
transport processes and emissionsfrom salt masses have played a part in patterns of concentration. Core samples from the continental slope i n the northern and eastern G u l f of
Mexico indicate a high content of sulphide minerals.

I t was obvious that e v e r y o n e has a touch of lrish i n him at the Houston Geological Auxiliary St. Patrick's Day Brunch, held March 17 at the Braeburn Country Club.
There was lrish entertainment to compliment the tasty M u I I i g a n stew, and shamrocks
and shenanigans were the o r d e r of the day. Mrs. Hillord (0) Hinson and Mrs. James
A. (Jerry) Wheeler, and the rest of their committee, are to be complimented on a job
w e l l done. The party honored and i n t r o d u c e d the president-elect, Mrs. O r v i l l e G

~ r i a r g r o v eClub. Husbands are invited, of course, and might be expected to provide
some serious thought for the Tripoli competition after dinner.
The Geo-Wives were f e t e d at a bridge-luncheon-style show M a r c h 11 at the
Stagecoach Inn. Club members modeling the spring fashions from Scheps' were: commentator, Mrs. George (Avis) Thomas, Mrs. Earl (Verna) Swett, Mrs. John (Marilyn)

Sidney andwaunitaschafer spent a marvelous ten days i n Mexico. After visiting
Sidney's brother, they toured several of Mexico's historical cities.
Clark and Virginia Edgecomb and George and Virginia Hardin just returned from
a week's stay in San Francisco.
Unfortunately for us, two of our members' moves have been p e r m a n e n t : Louis
and Betty Sebring have moved to Corpus Christi, and B i l l and Marilyn Riggs have moved
to Fort Worth.
Several H G A members have also entertained out-of-town guests. Mrs. Charles
(Anita) Weiner has her mother, M r s . J o s e p h Kane, from Monterrey, Mexico visiting
her.
Robert and Mary Ann Mayse (she i s Geo-Wives president) are showing the highlights of Houston to MaryAnn's parents, M r . and Mrs. Patrick Barbutti, from Rutherford,
