Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part II – Arrhenius and Blackbody Radiation
In Part II we look at Arrhenius’ seminal 1896 paper and see how it relates to blackbody radiation and absorption of infrared radiation by the atmosphere, taking a closer look…
Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part I – Blackbody Radiation and Milankovic Cycles
Geoscience will probably play an important role in mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. In part one of this series, we discuss some history and physics behind the topic of climate change…
Digital Transformation to Boost Oil and Gas Production
In the upstream oil and gas industry, digital transformation is changing how companies do business. According to Booz Allen Hamilton (December 2018), digital transformation of E&P proprietary data could save…
Virtual Drilling for Liquid Hydrocarbons
A novel seismic DHI technology using resonance and dispersion to indicate for liquid hydrocarbons is making inroads in the E&P industry, successfully identifying oil and predicting dry wells. Could this…
The Hydrocarbon Pre-Drill Prediction Toolbox
How sharp are the technologies in the hydrocarbon pre-drill prediction toolbox for calculating the Geological Chance for Success (GCOS) in oil and gas exploration? Geological Chance of Success (GCOS) Figure…
The characteristics of a CO2 reservoir
Pressure, depth, porosity and permeability are some of the parameters that need to be optimal at a suitable CO2 reservoir.
A Quantum Leap in Water Recycling
At the heart of the ‘Shale Boom’ in the US is the increased use of water for hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells – but how do we safely…
A New Era for Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry
Full Tensor Gravity GradiometryTM (FTG) has entered a new era with multiclient acquisitions. Bell’s proposed Sri Lanka FTG survey. © Bell Geospace. Full Tensor Gravity GradiometryTM (FTG) has entered a…
«The Low Carbon Future»
In 30 years, Norwegian oil and gas production will be halved. At that time, CO2 emissions will reach a bottom level.
Introducing the mysterious X
In the search for continued petroleum resources on the NCS and in other regions around the world, geologists and geophysicists working with imaging of the subsurface agree that we need…
“The Ultimate Survey”
“The increase in operational efficiency and scale of the operation is now making OBN competitive with conventional 3D streamer seismic and is a step change in the seismic market”, Kristian…
