Energy Epicenter 2008 |
|
As would be expected from a booming industry, there were a record 3,000 attendees at this year’s joint RMS-AAPG and COGA energy summit.
The last presentation of the RMS-AAPG conference was a discussion of geophysical techniques applied
to the Central Utah Hinge Line. This province is the site of Wolverine’s Covenant Field, the largest conventional
onshore find in recent decades.
