Download Africa Oil Week’s Post-Event Report Today

Africa Oil Week 2022 saw the continent define an assertive new position to determine how best to balance sustainability within its own needs. Across the five content streams these important conversations on the “just energy transition” and energy poverty took…

Tasmania – a Geotourism Hotspot

Tasmania’s geodiversity is remarkable, representing every past geological period and climatic event. A journey by coach or car will immerse a visitor in one of the most mountainous places in the world and can be augmented with any number of…

Palynology reinvented

An old technique re-imagined and reducing uncertainty in CCS sites. Palynology Reinvented Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial and power sources and storing it in subsurface geological formations is an option for reducing emissions into the atmosphere. Palynology (the study…

Maximising the potential of seismic expressions

Spectral decomposition methods are widely used to highlight geological features according to their frequency content. However, the frequencies characterising the targeted event might vary spatially, which complicates their extraction as 3D geological objects. Generally, the picking of the frequencies representative…

The rise of Venus in Uruguay’s Pelotas Basin

Uruguay plays Namibia on number 1 court The “Most interesting Basin in the World” ball has been batted across the Atlantic regularly for the last 30 years. Early deep-water success in the Campos Basin of Brazil, followed by the Tano…

Sierra Leone licence round extension

The reason Sierra Leone is attracting so much interest is simple; the exciting, extensive hydrocarbon proceptivity and the stable and investable above-ground environment. Sierra Leone has more than 400 km of Atlantic coastline that can be tectonically reconstructed back to…

Efficient identification of reservoir flow connections

The turnaround time for end-to-end workflows in reservoir characterisation, going from interpretation via modelling to prediction is typically quite long. The handover of results and insights between domains is mostly manual, and it is difficult to keep track of different…

Sudan’s Red Sea oil

The Sudanese Red Sea is one of the world’s most exciting underexplored passive margins. Here, we show how legacy 2D seismic reveals a stunning array of super-giant syn-rift plays in the pre-salt, capped by halite walls and canopies, in addition to mini-basins in a proven post-salt fairway.
