The current shortage of welltrained explorationists is the largest problem the oil and gas exploration industry has to face in the 1980s. While many scientists are being attracted from related fields, it takes years to educate them in the specific techniques utilized in hydrocarbon exploration. As a result, tremendous competition has been generated for those with the best brains and experience. This article reviews how the industry/university liaison has developed into an entity that can provide both the funding and the tools or techniques necessary for the proper training of new explorationists.
