The transition from technology development to commercialisation is a very critical phase of any technology innovation company. A main shareholder securing this transition as well as giving valuable input for…
Workstations Promise New Life for Geology
Is the workstation killing geology – or bringing it back to life and having a revolutionary effect on the field – and the future – of exploration and operational geology?…
Enhanced Oil Recovery – Utilising Captured CO2
Can the UK return to oil self-sufficiency? When governments get out of the way, remarkable things can happen. For example, some industry pundits now say that it is perfectly possible…
Leveraging Complex Geologies
The ability of reservoir models to leverage seismic and accommodate complex geologies ensures robust and reliable models, improved decision-making, more justifiable investments, and improved field performance. Including the building of…
A Classic Southern North Sea Analogue
The coast of North East England has a series of outcrops which give a detailed insight into some of the most important reservoirs of the Southern North Sea. Attacked by…
Getting into Hot Water
Hot water from subsurface reservoirs can be used directly to heat our houses. Data, software and knowledge from oil industry operations can help delineate this under-used resource, as is now…
Pyrenees Hold Clues to Fractured Carbonate Reservoir
Faults and fractures are often an important factor in determining hydrocarbon storage capacity and productivity in reservoirs such as tight carbonates, quartzites and basements. The use of reservoir analogues such…
The Marcellus Shale
The gas potential of the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin has made it an attractive investment opportunity. Horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing have boosted production rates and recoverable reserves…
Enhancing Reservoir Performance
A new approach makes fast, accurate reservoir modelling a practical component of field management. Drilling rates are at an unprecedented level, generating large volumes of data that, if modelled, could…
Facing the Challenge
Complex and unconventional reservoirs provide important reserves to the world’s energy supply however, they are often challenging to produce. Systematic petrographic studies take a close look at these reservoirs yielding…
Do OPEC Reserves Figures Matter?
Can the reported reserves figures of OPEC countries be trusted? And if not, what are the implications of this to government policy and decision making? “A few years ago, in…
