Abstract

Well known for his hydrocarbons research work in Western Siberia, Professor Nikolay P. Zapivalov, Institute of Petroleum Geology, Novosibirsk, Russia, used the occasion of the biannual conference of India’s Association of Petroleum Geologists (APG) conference (held in Goa last September) to challenge some traditional theories about the origins of oil and gas and how it should be explored. We publish this edited version of his address. The American petroleum journal AAPG Explorer once asked the question: What finds oil? The answers were varied, but many professionals responded with ‘ideas’. In fact, ideas, belief, and intuition all have significant value in oil and gas science and exploration, and along with professional knowledge, are the key factors in investigations. However, in recent years, it has become clear that we need a crop of new ideas which can be transformed into fresh technologies.
