Berikut saya kutipkan abstract dari lecture President AAPG, Robbie
Gries. yang akan memberikan di UBD tg 27 Oct 2001.
Isinya dalam hal ini "Get the new idea" bukannya "Get the things done"
another thought ...

Thinking "Out of the Box"
-the Role of the Geologist in Meeting Future Energy Demand
Abstract
The demand for oil and gas in the next century will greatly increase in
the next few decades and reserves are limited. Converting vast amounts
of "undiscovered" resources into proven reserves will require
geologists "to think out of the box". This means looking at methods no
one has tried before, looking for accumulations previously thought
unlikely, and looking in places where others have overlooked or thought
impossible.
This has never been easy, but it has been the key to giant new reserves
being developed. Overturning the "dogma" that is currently favored by
explorationists with a new "heresy" has a history of difficulty. From
the "anticlinal theory" in the 1880's to sequence stratigraphy in the
1980's, geologists have had to persevere to get an idea tested. The
latest plays that have convincingly converted former "undiscovered
resources" into "proven reserves" are basin-centered gas, coal bed
methane, and sub-salt exploration. Some plays, like the early offshore
Indonesian exploration, required not only creative geology, but unusual
deal making.
Buying reserves or increasing reserves by merging with another company
does not discover new oil and gas. Taking the risk to develop a new
idea, to finance an unusual idea, and to drill is what will provide the
supply needed in the next century.
Short Biography
Robbie Gries is President of the American Association of Petroleum
Geologists. She is founder and President of Priority Oil & Gas LLC, a
Denver-based natural gas production, petroleum exploration and
development company operating in Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming.
Priority has also been instrumental in the development of a one million
acre "tight gas sand" project onshore in Ireland and Northern Ireland,
where there no economic production to date. Partners are currently
drilling a pilot project to evaluate the area.
Robbie has been active in the petroleum industry for 28 years, working
initially for Texaco, Inc., then Reserve Oil Inc. She has been
independent since 1980. She has combined the business side of oil and
gas with her passion for the science of geology, publishing over 30
professional papers. She has developed and published ideas about
drilling beneath thrusted Precambrian rocks along the Rocky Mountain
uplifts. In the 1980's she pioneered the discovery of a concealed and
unexplored Cretaceous basin beneath the San Juan volcanic field in
southern Colorado. Robbie is a Director for the Colorado Oil and Gas
Association, an Honor Alumnus of Colorado State University and has a
Master's degree in geology from The University of Texas at Austin where
she currently serves on the Advisory Council for the Geology Foundation.
