Briefly reviews the worldwide developments in petroleum geology in 1971, including exploration, new fields, and oil production. This report is condensed from the October Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. (PR)

Presents statistics for 1976 concerning the production of fossil fuels throughout the world. (MLH)

Condenses the current research in exploration for gas and oil as described at a symposium at Case Western Reserve University. Briefly discusses reserves, oil exploration and extraction techniques. (BR)

Describes a report prepared for the Federal Energy Administration by a group of petroleum geologists. The study reports mean estimates of 82 billion barrels of crude oil and 484 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the United States, including both onshore and offshore resources. (MLH)

Explains the way in which oil and gas reserves are estimated, and the variation in these estimates according to the year of the resources' estimation and the group undertaking the survey. A recent Federal Energy Administration study suggests that recoverable oil and gas resources have limits that may be approached in the next 50 years. (MLH)

Describes geological research and developments during 1976 in Antartica, Alaska, and Greenalnd, especially in the area of petroleum resources. (MLH)

Developments in clastic sedimentology for 1978 focused on energy, especially petroleum exploration. (BB)

The petroleum industry had a very active year, worldwide, in 1978. Reported on here are explorations undertaken in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the North Sea, the Soviet Union, and the Middle East. (BB)

Highlights worldwide oil and gas developments during 1982, focusing on production, drilling, and other activities/projects in specific countries and regional areas. Indicates that the most political actions (other than the U.S. decision not to protest further the Siberian pipeline project) were the continued Afghanistan and Iraq-Iran wars.…

Discusses President Carter's proclaimed news on energy-related issues and legislation affecting the development of energy and natural resources. (MLH)

Reviews coal-geology projects being done by government agencies. Reports production and exploration activities throughout the United States. (MA)

Reviews symposia and meetings concerned with the polar research in the past year. Topics include drilling programs, sea ice and icebergs, and mineral deposits. (MA)

Geophysical activity increased in 1978, especially seismic gas and oil exploration in the United States and its waters. (BB)

Trends in and factors related to the nuclear industry and nuclear fuel production are discussed. Topics addressed include nuclear reactors, survival of the U.S. uranium industry, production costs, budget cuts by the Department of Energy and U.S. Geological survey for resource studies, mining, and research/development activities. (JN)

Reviews U.S. energy policies and production with respect to oil and gas resources. Exploration areas in the U.S. and throughout the world are described in terms of production and technology. (MA)
