The 1966 A.A.P.G. Research Symposium is entitled "Applied Carbonate Petroleum Geology." It consists of papers that deal with salient aspects of carbonate-rock analysis methods which can be applied clearly and readily to petroleum exploration and development. The main purpose of this symposium is to reduce much of the highly specialized, advanced work that has been accomplished over the past decade, in both methods of analysis and interpretation, into essentials meaningful to the geologist engaged in day-to-day activities of petroleum exploration and development. This includes such subjects as: petrophysics, paleoecology, petrography, geochemistry, geostatistics, simulation of depositional processes, carbonate-rock nomenclature, paleogeologic and lithofacies analyses, and rea case histories.

Throughout the symposium the central theme is methods of analysis and resulting geological interpretations. Wherever possible, the occurrence of petroleum is correlated with the geological aspects discussed.
