NATURAL HYDROCARBON SEEPAGE I N THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

By W. E. Sweet, Jr.

Hydrocarbon seepage w i t h i n or into the marine en v i r o n me n t occurs at many places around the w o r l d . The kind of hydrocarbon varies f rom a heavy aspha l t to a light gas.

Seepsites in Mexico, Venezuela, Trinidad, and the Gulf of Mexico shelf have been inves- tigated. Biota in t he immediate vicinity of a seep in many instances show very little change from what could be expected in a compamble environment where no seepage occurred. The difference i s surprising1 y smal I in some instances and in one instance occurs in an opposite sense to that expected. Seeps are aerially restricted by their very nature. Partially because of this, they do not have a wide deleterious effect upon the environment. In small amounts they m y be beneficial. In Trinidad the rnollux Pitar dione - shows a preference for zones of seepage. they may be attracted by the increase s.u p p l y o f bacteria or bacterial nutrienk.

Studies have i n d i c a t e d that fresh water runoff from heavy rains in California causpd more immediate and long range problems t han did the Union oil leak. Runoff waters from hurricane Agnes appear to have had major disasterous effects upon the biota in Chesupeake Bay. However, as with the various hydrocarbon spillsand natural seeps the damages suffered are not irreversable. Even i f con d i t i ons never entirely return to the status quo a new or modified en v i r o n men t occurs into which old or perhaps new biota adapt. The world i s dymmicand change i s the order of the universe . Only man tries to stem the tide of environmental evolution and in the end he can but slow i t down or divert i t momentarily. Nature is self polluting, but fortunately i t i s also self purging. In a b roader overview we should abandon the angry approach to e c 0 l o g i c a l disaster and spend more time finding ways of helping nature in its continual recycling process.

TREASURER Clyde G. Beckwith

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE J. Denny Bartell Martin M. Sheets

PRESIDENT'S CORNER:

We have exceeded our membershipgoal of 2,000 members andare happy to say that the Society i s ending its first f i f ty yearsin a good strong position to tackle the next fifty. We

w i l l celebrate this milestone at the June 1 l t h Ladies Night meeting and hope thnt you join us in the celebration.

The last f i f ty years have benonesof tremendous growth forthe o i l business and geology, i n general, i n the Gu l f Coast area, so i t is no surprise t h a t the Society has grown strong wi th i t . The next f i f ty years, however, w i l l provide a more strenuous test of the Society's v i ta l i ty because we are no longer . iding a crest of strong industry expansion. There i s no doubt that we w i l l c o n t i n u e to grow i n size regardless o f the outside situation, but size alone never has been and never wi l l be the hallmark o f a successful Society. The cr i t ical ingredient i s enthusiasm a n d willingness to work on the part o f the m e m b e r s so that the Society can function i n its various activities.

Through the efforts of many energetic volunteers, the Society over the years, has provided many services for its members, the general geological and scientific community and the public. We should expand these activities, particularly any activity which puts us i n contact wi th the public and gives us a chance to show that we a r e professionals i n every sense of the word. Environmental concern provides the best opportunity for public contact at this time, and we are already getting involved through t h e efforts of our newly estab- lished Environmental Committee. This committee w i l l make us more visible to the public and let us show our competance beyond the limited geological groups.

Since this i s my last "President's Corner", I would l ike to thank the officers, executive committeemen, committee chairmen and committee workers w h o have worked so hard this year for the Society's projects. Too often we forget that a l l the help we get is volunteer help, wi l l ingly given by busy geologists who did not turn their b a c k on their profession. I t is eosy to say "I 'm too busy to help," but this i s r e a l l y an ego exercise. Everyone i s busy, but those who are involved i n Society w o r k have recognized the:r responsibility to their profession and hove helped i n spite of their tough schedules. The o ld saying "If you want a job done, give i t toa busy man" iscertainly true insociety work. O n behalf o f the members, and for myself personally, I thank these volunteers for a job well done. In pnr- ticular, I want to thank Craig Barclay, editor o f the Bulletin, for this help over the year. The editor's job is a tough and frequently thankless one.

No matter what is done by the workers, i t matters l i t t l e i f there i s no support from the membership. Enthusiasm for Society activit ies is an absolute necessity i f we are going to have another v i g o r o u s f i f ty years. We hope that you w i I I join us on Ladies Night to launch another vigorous f i f ty.

John J. Amoruso

TREASURER'S REPORT - TO THE MEMBERS OF THE H.G.S.

The Houston Geological Society derives mos t o f its operating income from collection of membership dues and from advertising placed i n the Bulletin. Because most of these funds are received i n the fal l income w i l l exceed expenses during the first six months o f the fiscal year. The accompanying statements display the expected situation.

From January to June, however, the Society m u s t function on the funds substantially collected so that expenses w i l l exceed income during this period.

The cash on hand in both the Operating and Academic Funds for the six months ending December 31, 1972 provide the Society with sufficient resources to meet budgeted expenses for the subsequent six months. Maior expenses include publication of the Bulletin, printing costs and reprinting o f the Delta Symposium Volume.

In addition to the cash on hand the Society's assets on December 31, 1972 i n c l u d e d three pass book savings accounts totaling $14, 044 and a regular 5.75% C.D. a t American Savings worth $1 1,168.

The Treasurer i s pleased to report that the Society i s i n a good financial condition. Anthony Reso

DR. MARCUSA. HANNA

Marcus A. Hanna was born and grew up inKansas. He received his early education thereand graduated from Kansas City High SchooJ in1916. In 1920 he graduated from the Universityof Kansaswith a degree ingeology and in 1926a P.H.D. from the University of California atBerkeley.

During the summersof 1916- 1920 he workedin Montana with the U.S. Biological Survey osa field ass i stont, from 1920-1922 he was aTeaching Fellow at the University of Cal iforniaand from 1922- 1924 Geological Instructor at theUniversity of Washington in Seattle. He wasemployed by Gul f Oi I Corporation in 1924 asChief Paleontologist. In 1957 he assumedtheduties of Staff Geologist and retired from Gul fin 1960.

In the course of Dr. Hanna's Ion g career

he has publ ished numerous pap e r s on various

research projects beg inn i n g with a study ofmacro foss i I s of southern California. Three

papers on this sub j e c t were publ ished during

1924-1926. Since this early beginning his thirty, more or less, publications have includednumerous subjects ranging from micro paleontology to salt dome tectonics and serpentinedikes. Among some of his less publicized work are environmental facies studies of Tertiarysediments of the Gul f Coast; structural-depositional-time re I at ion s hip determination of

prospective oil and gas bearing horizons; development and application of basic criteria forthe projection and evaluation of potentiall y hydrocarbon bearing sediments; reservoir char-acteristics, sand distribution and the effects of drilling operations on fish and other wild life

in the shallow bays of Texas and Louisiana. He was Chairman of the A.A. P. G. GeologicalResearch Committee and also served on the A. P.1. Research Committee on Sediments.

Dr. Hanna is a n Honorary Memberof the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.He has filled several committee assignments since becoming a member of A.A. P. G. in 1924.

He is a charter member of the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogist;

served two years as secretary-treasurer and was elected president in 1930. He is an honor-ary member of S.E.P.M. Gulf Coast Section.

In 1933 he served as vice-president of the Paleontological Society. He is a Fellow inthe Geological Society of America; a member of the American Geophysical Union and theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science.

JOHN M. VETTER

Mr. John M. Vetter was one of the many fine geologists bequeathed to the profession by The University of Nebraska. John graduated in 1922 and his first employment was south of the border in Mexico where he went to wark for the Shell subsidiary, Aguila.

In 1924, John came north of the RioGrandeand settled in Houston, neveragain to stray from its friendly confines. He was employed by John Suman for The Rio Bravo Oil Co. and Southern Pacific interests. I t was here that a l i fe time friendship with Wayne Bowman was forged.

When the 1929 Stockmarket Debacle forced a retrenchment of Rio Bravo's activities, the two friends formed the partnership of Bowman and Vetter. Thislasteduntil 1931 when Wayne went to wark with Tidewater Oil Campany. John Vetter remainedasa consultant until 1935.

I t was at this time that E.R. Turner l e f t Continental to farm Pan Americon Production Company. He chose John Vetter as his Chief Geologist and John remained with thiscompany until i t was combined with Pan Americon Petroleum in 1957. By t h e n , John had become Vice President and he chose to retire to an independent status at that time.

Along the way, John was active in his profession, serving as President of the Houston Geological Society in 1932, Vice President of the AmericanAssociationof Petroleum Geol- ogists in 1940, and as a member of the Houston Engineers Council. His breadth of interest i s shown by the fact that he is a Past President of the Houston Philosophical Society

When John Vetter came to the Petroleum Industry, the torsion balance and refraction seismograph were the only geophysical tools, the latter in its infancy. N o electrical logs had been run on wells and, with drillers lags, one flew "by the seat of his pants", so to speak. I t i s with respect that we remember haw avid1 y the men of his time greeted each new scientific advance by the industry and insisted that the youngergenerations learn to use and master them. I t was their inspiration that made better men of all of us. John was a charter member of that group of iconoclasts and amateur poker playen that i nc I u de d such diverse characters as Wallace Thompson, J. Brian Eby, Phil Martyn, Orval B race , and W a y n e Bowman. Strange and wonderful tales have been told of their scientific seances with cards and chips.

In summarizing what I knew over the years about John Vetter, one capsulated adjective phrase comes to mind. He i s a truly "Level-headed" i n d i v i d u a l . He thought before he spoke, he was always even-tempered, and his pronouncements revealed a keen, clear, un- cluttered mind. He was a great help and a true friend to many along life's road. It iswith a sincere and heartfelt pleasure that I propose his name as an honorary member to this Society.

A.A.P.G. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

The A.A.P.G. i s in the midst o f a membership drive i n hopes of reversing the trend o f negative growth which has been evident i n the lost few years. Former members are encour- aged to again become active and the Association has st r e a m l i n e d its procedure for re- instatement.

I t i s now possible for a membertobe reinstated merely by updating his original application and by paying a maxium of one year's dues ( i f i n arrears) at the time ofdropping--plus the current year's dues. This i s a far simpler procedure than ever b e f o r e and should en- courage many of you to act promptly.

I am sure many of you are not so far removed from school that you have forgotten how hard i t was to come up with even $5.00 for a student membership i n A.A.P.G. I would like, therefore, to ask that, i f you are now nble and would l ike to s p o n s o r one or more student members at $5.00 each, you please give me a call so wecan add your name to our sponsors' l i s t . Please, no money yet--just indicate your willingness to help.

In addition to keeping abreast o f recent developments i n geology, t h e advantages o f membership i n the Association are many. One of the most beneficial i s the various group insurance policies which are now available.

One final request to those of you who are members, please i n d i c a t e to your non- member friends your willingness to act as one of their sponsors, and urge them to join you i n the A.A.P.G.

To anyone who wishes to know more about the A.A.P.G. or would I i k e a membership application, please contact either mysel f or any A.A. P. G. delegates.

We are happy toreport that David's condition i s considerably improved and we look for- ward to him being able to try another transplant i n the n e a r future. The Fund, to which you a l l sogenerously contributed, has purchaseda dialysis unit which David has been using since the middle of March. Being able to diolize at home r o t h e r than i n New Orleans three times each week has most certainly contributed to his well being.

Again, many thanks to a l l for your thoughtfulness and help. Sincerely Harold Hane

Response to the ~ o l l to help direct our A.A.P.G. delegates was disappointingly l o w i n spite o f the strong effort to promote votes. This situation i s interpreted to mean that most AAPG members do not care what AAPG does, but those who are c o n c e r n e d with AAPG matters have voted overwhelmingly i n favor of the amendments. The only close vote was for amendment #3, but even that passed comfortably. A tabulation o f the votes f o l I o w r

O N THE DISTAFF SIDE

A t the endofa happy, successful year on a beautiful May Morning, DixieBartell handed the gavel o f the presidency o f the Houston Geological Auxi l iary over to Dee Russek. The location was the Racquet Club and the occasion was the spring business meeting. Dixie was givena beautiful gold o i l well charm forguiding usthrough the year. The foodwasdelicious and was a buffet brunch. The new officers for the coming year for both the auxiliary and the GeoWives were introduced. Everybody had a good time visitingand many were especial- l y excited about being off to Dimey land and the A .A. P. G. Convention. Teddine Loftes was thinking about relaxing on the beach i n Hawaii after the convention. Dee Russek was just hoping she could get o f f with her children a l l packed and not forget anything. New- comer Louise Tyler was having fun chatting with VeIva Stein about friends from Lafayette days. Gladys Selig was amusing with tales of her new "puppy dog", Julie, she sounds adorable. Doris lglehart and Barbarj Borker were busy taking our dues for the new year. Be sure and getyours in! Polly Turner was lamenting the way that women park, particularly i n crowded parking lots. Sally Berner was excited about her forth-coming trip. We' l l be anxious to hear a l l the details. Virginia Roberts and Nonie La n d r y and their committee are to be thanked for their decorations on the tables and the delighted l i t t le sea-shells as favors. I t was a delightful way to end the year.

The next day found the men's golf tournament and barbeque. As i f by Magic, i t did'nt rain andthe men hada perfect day for golf. The dinner of barbeque and "all the trimmings" was fantastic and everybody enjoyed the bingo afterwards. A few o f many having a good time were Sally and Hal Bybee, who are excited about their tr ip to Mexico, Suzanne and Bi l l Howell, who were a l l ready for their tr ip to Anaheim, Marion and Orv i l le Lundstrom, Ann and Reece Berry, and being welcomed back to town from Denver, were Nea and Carter Robinson.

Sister Annette Orlando did a graphoanalysis o f a l l the new officersof Geo Wives at the May meeting at Look's Sirloin House, the seventeenth. I t was fun.

Geo Wives had a very exciting year andwelcomed many new members to join and any new-comers who might be interested. We w i l l lose lots o f members who have been i n our group five years, Nanely, Glenno Floyd, Mary Harle, Mari lyn Hern, Pat Hefner, Ethel Nisley, Bea Hole, Marge Hopkins, Joan Nelson, Wilma Patrick, Joan Shishkevish, Verna Swett, Midge Schrock. So long we w i l l miss you.

Don't forget to mark your calendar on June the eleventh for the Men's party forthe wives at the Royal Coach Motor Inn i n the King Arthur Room. Cocktails beginat five-thirty dinner is at six-thirty and w i l l be $5.50 with drinks free.

Have a Happy Summer!

IN MEMORIAM OF GEORG 0. MEJLAENDER, JR.

We have lost three very c l o se friends i n the Sunday, March 19, 1973, sudden deaths o f Georg Mejlaender, his w i f e Monta Mae, and 10-year o ld son Michael. Georg's plane crashed on landing at t h e downtown airport i n O k I a h o m a City resulting intheirdeaths.

Georg was born and spent his e a r I y years in Norway. During the Secondworld War his family moved to the United States and he t r a i n e d i n Canada for service i n the Royal Norwegian Air Force. After the war he attended the University ofOklahomnmdgraduated i n Geology in 1951. After college he wasemployed in i t ia l ly by Arkansas Fuel O i l Company i n Wichita Falls, Texas, and lateras District Geologist in San Antonio, Texas. In 1958, he resigned from Arkansas Fuel, mo ve d to Houston, and entered the partnership o f Van Dyke B Mejlaender which ini t ial ly e x p I o r e d in the Texas coast and later began operations i n Southern Louisiana. In 1962, the p a r t n e r s h i p of Van Dyke B M e j I a e n d e r wasdissolved a n d he then entered t h e partnership of Meiloender 8 Prior which wasdissolved in 1968 when he commencedoperating on hisown os an Independent. Georg wosas excellent geologist and had caused a number o f fields to be found in the Gul f Coast area during his career.

Georg and his family belonged to the St. Francis Episcopal Church. He wos an avid sailor and charter member o f the Star Fleet i n Houston. He belonged to the Houston Yocht Club and participated in various Olympic trials.

Georg, Monta and Michael wi l l be sorely missed by those of us who knew them well. He leaves a daughter Debbie, currently a senior at the University of Texas, andOtto, a a freshman, also at the University o f Texas.
