Over the last 32 years, he has been involved in petro- leum geology with emphasis on geochemistry in the Rocky Mountain states, California, Alaska, Colombia, and Malaysia. He has numerous publications on the geology and geo- chemistry of petroleum provinces in Alaska, the Cook Inlet–Alaska Peninsula, and the North Slope. For the last 15 years he has devoted much of his time to developing and pre- senting the petroleum system. From 1990–1991, he was an AAPG Distinguished Lec- turer.

Beaumont Edward A. (Ted) Beaumont is an independent petroleum geologist from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He holds a BS in geology from the University of New Mexico and an MS in geology from the University of Kansas. Currently, he is generating drilling prospects in Texas, Okla- homa, and the Rocky Mountains. His previous professional experience was as a sedimen- tologist in basin analysis with Cities Service Oil Company and as Science Director for AAPG. Ted is coeditor of the Treatise of Petroleum Geology. He has lectured on creative exploration techniques in the U.S., China, and Australia and has received the Distin- guished Service Award and Award of Special Recognition from AAPG.
