Fascinating topics in this fossil fueled industry at every turn, Oilfield Tailgate hopes bringing us closer together finds ways to foster innovations with information from our amazing network industry family members. Each contribution leads to human flourishing by harvesting and producing abundant and reliable energy from our resources. Thanks to my guests Molly and James for this episode of Talking Energy Show.
Molly Turko, PhD Structural Geology Expert at Applied Stratigraphix | VP of AAPG PSGD | Devon Energy |TurkoTectonics.com
Dr. Molly Turko has nearly 15 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and is a subject matter expert in structural geology.
She has had the opportunity to work in multiple basins in the U.S including the Anadarko, Ardmore, Delaware, Powder River, Appalachian, Maveric, Onshore Gulf Coast, and Rocky Mountain Basins. Additional study areas include Nevada and Utah analyzing Basin and Range structures for geothermal potential and mineral exploration.
She received both a B.Sc. (2009) and a M.Sc. (2011) in geology from the University of Tulsa followed by a Ph.D. (2019) from the University of Oklahoma where she studied under Dr. Shankar Mitra. Her work experience includes Chesapeake Energy, Devon Energy, Applied Stratigraphix, and several small operators in Tulsa. She has taught courses for R.M.A.G., AAPG, Applied Stratigraphix, SCA, and for the Ore Geology Conference based out of Peru.
Molly is the Vice President of AAPG's Petroleum Structure and Geomechanics Division for 2021-2023 as well as the co-chair for the 2023 AAPG Midcontinent Sectional Meeting. She also serves on the board of the Oklahoma City Geological Society and is an Associate Editor of the AAPG Bulletin.
Her passion is mentoring and teaching, but her favorite role is leading structural geology field courses in Nevada and Southern Oklahoma for Applied Stratigraphix.
