2013 Southwest Section of the AAPG Annual Convention
Guten Tag from Fredericksburg, Texas! Once again, the Southwest Section of the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists exhibits forward thinking by conducting the SWS-
AAPG Annual Convention in Fredericksburg, Texas, an unconventional location where no affiliated society is
located. Members from each of the SWS sister societies volunteer to fill the committees who collaborate on and
coordinate this neutral-site event. Convention attendees will take advantage of the exciting venues and activities in
and around Fredericksburg.
This year’s convention “kicks off” early Saturday morning, April 6th, with an incredible Llano Uplift/Enchanted Rock
field trip. The field trip, led by Drs. Emilio Mutis-Duplat and Emily Stoudt from the University of Texas of the
Permian Basin, offers a rare in-depth depositional history of the pre-cambrian and older paleozoic rocks
surrounding the Llano Uplift. On Sunday, April 7th, the annual SWS free all-day short course will be held. Lindell
Bridges with Pure Earth Resources in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will present “The Basic Tools of Shale Exploration”.
Following this intriguing course, attendees will head over to the Ice Breaker at the Hanger Hotel Conference Center
where they will renew acquaintances with fellow professionals and update themselves on the latest technology
from all of the exhibitors. Monday brings the opening session, with a keynote address from Robert A. Malone,
former Chairman of the Board and President of BP America, Inc. A full day of technical sessions and exhibits is “on
tap”, including the DPA luncheon featuring former AAPG president Dick Bishop who will present, “U.S. Shales in
Perspective of a World Supply in Transition”.
Now “hold onto your hats”! Monday evening, we are all heading down to Luckenbach, Texas for a good ol’ Texas
“hootenanny”. The Luckenbach dancehall, where outlaw country music was made famous, will be the center of
attention while Austin local Jesse Dayton plays the best of this legendary style of music. A Texas barbeque dinner,
including all the “fixin’s”, will be “served up” by the Salt Lick BBQ followed by dancing, visiting and strolling around
the historic town. Tuesday, April 9th features a morning session of technical papers and exhibits followed by the AllConvention Luncheon, where former AAPG President, Dr. Pete Rose, will present, “Fredericksburg, Texas: Geologic
Setting, Selected Wineries, and Frontier History”. Dr. Rose then leads the highly anticipated “Wine in the Texas Hill
County” Field Trip to three of the area’s top wineries. Not attending the wine tour? You might gather up a foursome
and head over to the newly renovated LBJ Golf Course! Otherwise, there are so many attractions in Fredericksburg
we cannot list them all. Stonnie Pollock and Robert Springer have put together an outstanding technical session
which concludes Wednesday at noon.
Don’t miss out! Make your hotel reservations now – rooms will fill up quickly since the convention is being held
during the popular wine season. Nine hotels, which are listed on another page in the brochure, have rooms blocked
out for the convention. These rooms will only be blocked through March 7th. Shuttle service between the Hangar
Hotel and the other satellite hotels will be provided on Monday, April 8th and Tuesday, April 9th.

The University of Texas Permian Basin
Saturday, April 6th 7:00am-5:00pm
Barons Creek Conference Center at the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites
The Llano Region, centered in Gillespie, Llano, Mason, McCullough and San Saba Counties, Texas, has
generally been a positive tectonic area since the early Paleozoic. Precambrian basement rocks of the
area include metamorphic schists and gneisses of the Valley Spring, Lost Creek, and Packsaddle
Formations and granite of the Enchanted Rock Batholith. Paleozoic formations overlying the
Precambrian are the Cambrian Riley and Wilberns Formations, the Lower Ordovician Ellenburger
Group and small “windowpanes” of younger Paleozoic units. Cretaceous carbonates and sands of the
Fredericksburg Group cap the area.
A one-day field trip is planned to outstanding outcrops of
several Members of the Riley and Wilberns Formations and the
famous Enchanted Rock State Park, where a granite batholith is
exposed. The trip will begin with a brief discussion of the rock
units and an opportunity to view continuous core from the
Wilberns Formation taken in McCullough County.
The
Wilberns Formation is subdivided into the Welge Sandstone
Member, the Morgan Creek Limestone Member, the Point Peak
Member and the San Saba Member. We will see the Welge
Sandstone and shallow marine carbonate cycles and
cyanobacterial mounds in the Point Peak Member in the field.
We will also view selected boxes of core from the Hickory
Sandstone Member of the Riley Formation. In the field, we will
visit a creek bed outcrop of the Hickory Sandstone Member,
where we will see magnificent trace fossils, including Cruziana
trilobite feeding trails and numerous forms of living burrows.
The Hickory Sandstone is very porous and permeable and
represents one of the major fresh water aquifers in Central
Texas. During the field trip, we will also see the contact
between the highly glauconitic Lion Mountain Sandstone of the
Riley Formation and the basal Welge Sandstone Member of the
overlying Wilberns Formation. There will be an opportunity to
see the crinoid and brachiopod rich Chappel Formation
carbonates exposed in a fault block along the Llano River. We
will finish the day in the field with a visit to Enchanted Rock
State Park, where we can climb to the top of a granite knob.
This high hill was used by both Native Americans and early
white settlers for observation and signaling.
*Field Trip and Convention Registration is Saturday, April 6th from 6:30-8:30am in the Barons Creek
Conference Center at the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites. The field trip is limited to 50 people.
Basic convention registration is required for attendance.
Short Course: “The Basic Tools For Shale Exploration”
Presented by Dr. Lindell Bridges of Pure Earth Resources
Sunday, April 7th 8:30am-5:00pm
Nimitz Room at the Inn on Barons Creek
Who Should Attend
Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who are new to shale plays. This course is especially appropriate for persons
who are responsible for shale play exploration or exploitation. Industry experience may range from graduate students to
seasoned professionals.
Objectives
The goal of this course is to expose students to the basics of evaluating new and existing shale plays. Upon completion of
the course, participants should be able to accomplish the following:
 Perform basic log analysis on existing well logs of various vintages
 Recognize what petrophysical parameters are important in identifying potentially
productive shale intervals, including characteristics of gas, gas and condensate,
and oil reservoirs in shale
 Recognize important geochemical data needed for evaluating shale plays, both
existing data and data from new drilling
 Apply sequence stratigraphy to shale plays for mapping prospective trends
 Apply stress regime analysis to determine horizontal well azimuth
 Understand natural fracturing in shale and how it assists in increasing the
productivity of shale reservoirs in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing
Content
This short course will demonstrate which tools, processes, and procedures all geoscientists, engineers, and technical
professionals working in shale plays need to understand and implement. The instructor will provide guidance in using
lithological information, petrophysics, 3D seismic, pore pressure, reservoir characterization, geochemistry, fracture
information, and reservoir fluid information to effectively explore for and produce shale hydrocarbons.
This course starts by defining what a “shale” play is and ends with a brief overview of a few existing shale plays in North
America. During the course, we will review the type of existing data one needs to evaluate when moving into a new play
area. Mapping techniques using petrophysical, geochemical, and sequence stratigraphy will be introduced. The different
phases of shale exploration and development will be presented, outlining some pitfalls that may be encountered along
the way.
*Short Course and Convention Registration is Sunday, April 7th from 7:30-8:30am in the Nimitz Room at the Inn on Barons Creek.
Basic convention registration is required for attendance.

AAPG Division of Professional Affairs Luncheon
Monday, April 8th 11:50-1:15pm
“U.S. Shales in Perspective
of a World Oil Supply in Transition”
Richard S. Bishop*, Wayne L. Kelley (Abbreviated Abstract)
The world is not “running out of oil” but there is concern about supply rate. Historically, estimates of global oil supply have
been based on a combination of resource volume and forecasted demand. The price was driven largely by the giant and
super-giant conventional fields and reflected a rough parity of cost between the cheapest and most expensive producer.
Today, the relatively low cost oil coming from the giants is no longer sufficient to meet global demand. Consequently, price
is no longer driven by competition between suppliers but driven by competition between buyers. Thus the price of oil is
now determined by the price buyers are willing to pay which is the most expensive oil needed to make up the total supply.
The result is a “two tiered” market of low cost oil (e.g. giant onshore fields) and high cost oil (e.g. shales, deep water fields)
but a largely single price for oil. The combination of technology and increased price has added large volumes to the
reserve base but much of these additions are ‘high cost’ oil which is at the highest risk in the event of price declines.
*Richard S. Bishop, Ph.D. is a geologist who has worked the spectrum of
research, exploration and production for Unocal (2 years), ExxonMobil (29
years), and as a consultant/independent (7 years including RSK). Dick has
“seen the world” both as an explorationist and as a synthesizer of global

Executive Director and Chief Geologist of RSK.
All-Convention Luncheon
Tuesday, April 7th 12:00-1:00pm
“Fredericksburg, Texas:
Geologic Setting, Selected Wineries, and Frontier History”
Peter R. Rose (Abbreviated Abstract)
The town of Fredericksburg is located in the broad valley of the east-flowing Pedernales River, lying between highstanding, east-reaching interfluves of Edwards Limestone, erosional remnants of the vast Edwards Plateau, which lies
west of the town and extends westward, unbroken, for 250 miles, into Trans-Pecos Texas, and southwestward into
northern Coahuila, Mexico. The northern Edwards interfluve forms the southern rim of the Llano Basin, in which are
exposed Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks of the Llano Uplift. Fredericksburg itself is situated primarily upon sandstones
and mudstones of the Lower Cretaceous Hansel and Glen Rose Formations, and also upon recent alluvial deposits of creeks
that are tributary to the Pedernales River.
In general, the Hensel Formation underlies most of the deep, sandy and loamy arable land in the Pedernales valley east of
Fredericksburg, which is used for growing grain, hay, peaches, and, increasingly since about 1980, wine grapes. Here the
Hensel Formation ranges up to about 100 feet thick, and rests unconformably upon faulted Paleozoic and Precambrian
formations.
We shall visit three wineries: Grape Creek, Woodrose, and Becker. All three have vineyards adjacent to the wineries; all
are planted in deep soils developed on the Hensel Formation, because they are well-drained, thick (allowing extensive
root-system development), and flat (thus easily cultivated). The Becker winery is the largest and oldest (founded in 1992).
The present Grape Creek winery has been developed since about 2006 on a Tuscan theme from an earlier (~2000) winery
of the same name that failed because of an outbreak of Pierce’s Disease. The Woodrose winery is more of a boutique
winery with fewer varieties grown, under new ownership since 2005.
Woodrose Winery & Vineyards
All-Convention Field Trip:
“Wine in the Texas Hill Country“
Tuesday, April 9th 1:15-5:15pm
Following the All Convention Luncheon, coaches will depart from the Hangar Hotel and take guests to
tour three of Fredericksburg’s most noted wineries: Grape Creek, Woodrose, and Becker. Guests will
relax on the coach and listen to an audible narrative on the way to each winery, where they’ll taste the
area’s best wines. All three wineries feature adjacent vineyards, planted on deep soils developed in the
"Hensel sandstone”. This field trip is the toast of the convention! Estimated return time is between
5:00 and 6:00.
*This field trip is limited to 100 people.
Not going on the All-Convention Field Trip?
There are plenty of other activities in Fredericksburg!
The Fredericksburg Nature Center is located at the
Lady Bird Johnson Park. Due to the area’s unique
hydrology and geology, the nature center features a
number of distinct habitats within its ten acres.
The Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course is located next to the
Airport. This 18 hole 71 par course meets US Golf
Association Specs and has recently undergone a twomillion dollar renovation. PGA Head Professional Alan
Wooley has declared that this course “will be the best
municipal golf course in the great state of Texas". Call
(830) 997-4010 for a tee-time.
*A precautionary note… Whatever you choose to do while
in Fredericksburg, please be careful! As a reminder, the
Highway Patrol is on the watch for intoxicated drivers.
Let’s have a safe and pleasant trip!
The National Museum of the Pacific War is dedicated
to perpetuating the memory of the Pacific Theater of
WWII in order that the sacrifices of those who
contributed to our victory may never be forgotten.
