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. - - - - Home Page DVD Contents Search Help In this Issue Volume 12 Contents COMMITTEE REPORTS Abe Wagner Chairman Entertainment FORTHCOMING SOCIAL EVENTS . 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. - Let's make our theme "bring your boss". Don't miss i 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, (signed) George H. Gore, C. P.G. March 10, 1970 M r . George H. Gore Texas Gas Exploration Corp. P. 0. Box 52310 Houston, Texas 77052 . . has . 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 Home Page DVD Contents Search Help In this Issue Volume 12 Contents 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 EDITOR'S NOTE . . 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, Home Page DVD Contents Search Help In this Issue Volume 12 Contents 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 15,000miles of track that i n c l u d e d m a g n e t i c s , g r a v i t y , a n d a c o u s t i c a l Home Page DVD Contents Search Help In this Issue Volume 12 Contents 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 N E W S OF MEMBERS f # # # # # # Roy "Dusty" Rhodes Associate Editor E.
