Shan Shanmugam was born in India in 1944, emigrated to the
U.S. in 1970, and became a U.S. citizen in 1990. He received his Ph.D. in geology from the
University of Tennessee in 1978, and joined Mobil the same year. In January 2000, he
retired from Mobil Technology Company as a Geological Scientist and joined the University
of Texas at Arlington as an adjunct professor of geology. His publications (1 book, 75
papers, and 65 abstracts) include AAPG Bulletin articles on secondary porosity (1984,
1985), oil generation from coal in the Gippsland Basin, Australia (1985),
unconformity-related porosity in the Prudhoe Bay Field. Alaska (1988), submarine-fan lobes
(1991), bottom-current reworked reservoir sands in the Gulf of Mexico (1993), sandy slump
and debris-flow reservoirs in the Norwegian Sea (1994), reinterpretation of
"classic" turbidites of the Jackfork Group in the Ouachitas (1995), basin-floor
fans in the North Sea (1995), replies to six discussions on turbidite controversy (1997),
and tide-dominated estuarine facies in Ecuador (2000). His most recent paper on deep-water
research (Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2000) critically reviews the rise and fall of the
turbidite paradigm during the past 50 years. His paper on the uncertainties of deep-water
exploration models received 1995 Best Paper Award from the Nigerian Association of
Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE). He is listed in the Millennium Edition (2000-2001) of
Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering.
