AAPG

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) is a nonprofit professional society founded in 1917 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its mission is to advance the science of geology, especially as it relates to petroleum, natural gas, other subsurface fluids and mineral resources.

AAPG brings together more than 14,000 geologists, engineers, academics and industry leaders in more than 40 countries. Members connect through U.S. sections, international regions and technical divisions, and agree to the association’s Code of Ethics.

AAPG publishes the peer-reviewed AAPG Bulletin, the AAPG Explorer magazine and the free online journal Search and Discovery, and co-publishes the journal Interpretation with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG). Its events include IMAGE, the International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy, held jointly with SEG, as well as URTeC and a broad program of training, webinars and Distinguished Lectures.

Open iT is a member of AAPG. Open iT meters and analyzes the use of engineering and technical software, including the geoscience and exploration and production applications used across the energy industry. Membership connects Open iT with the geoscience community that relies on these tools.
