I am a consulting geologist in Tulsa, primarily doing various editorial work for AAPG. My academic credentials are B.S. Geology, B.A. Biology Syracuse University 1975 and M.S. Geology Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1977. I have worked in many aspects of the industry: development, exploration, log digitization, and seismic modeling and synthetics.

I have been adding links to articles, linking to other pages we seeded the wiki with, and adding links (red) to things we need articles about. I have written a few stubs which need to be expanded. I have also put together some pages of links to further information; these pages will be replaced with actual articles in time.

Stubs that have been linked

Tertiary
Isochron
Growth fault
Syncline
Accumulation
Fossil assemblage, also Faunal assemblage, also linked to biofacies
Ductility
Brittleness
Fracture
Trip
Dry hole
Dry
Scout ticket

Stubs that still need to be linked

Articles that are lists of links and have been linked in our wiki

Burial history chart
Petroleum generation
Tertiary migration
Deformation

Turbidite
Unconformity
Arkose 9-4-14
Regression 10-13-14 (because I had to keep it straight from statistical regression)

Articles that are lists of links and still need to be linked throughout the wiki

Thrust fault
Reverse fault
Strike-slip fault
Conglomerate
Orogeny
Continental margin
Continental drift
Bioturbation
Siliciclastic
Distributary channel
Transgression
Regression
Igneous rock
Stratum also needs to be linked to strata
Lithofacies
Hydrocarbon reservoir also needs to link to reservoir only one link and i fixed it 9-9-14
Pinch out
Crust
Mantle
Plates maps of plates around the world
Plate tectonics

At some point, someone needs to go through and link every age (Cambrian, Llandoverian, etc.) to the appropriate place on this website: http://www.stratigraphy.org/bak/geowhen/geolist.html It may be that some time periods will merit a page of their own, and that would supersede the above. I made one for Tertiary, because it is now obsolete. I also made one for Carboniferous terminology.

Various others that have been linked throughout

Cross section (which includes the former page Geological cross sections)
Oil- water, gas-water, oil-gas contact (from the Schlumberger glossary)
Fluid contacts
Seal ductility
Natural hydraulic fracturing and hydrofracturing, but NOT hydraulic fracturing as a stimulation process
definitions of aggradation, progradation, retrogradation
RFT, linked to Wireline formation testers
Buckles plot
The words sorted and sorting, because i knew I'd never find this bit of info again Core_description#Maturity 8-26-14
