An Onshore CCS Debacle

The owners of the Petra Nova CO2 plant, built at a Coal Power Station in Texas, went for it. Rather than constructing a 60 Mwe facility according to the first Read More

An Exposed Salt Dome

The salt exposed here consists of halites of the Ara Salt, which was deposited around 540 million years ago during the earliest Cambrian. The core of the dome, where the Read More

“All the Beautiful Domes”

Royal Dutch Shell owed its origins to Indonesia, formerly known as the Dutch East Indies. Comprising over 17,000 islands, including Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, and parts of Borneo (Kalimantan) and New Read More

Finding Hidden SMS Deposits

“Metalliferous sediments are important deep-sea exploration targets,” said Acer Figueroa, PhD student at the National Oceanography Centre (University of Southampton) during the Deep Sea Minerals conference in Bergen in October Read More

The Best of Brae

In Late Jurassic times, an overall north-south trending graben system transected the North Sea as a response to tensional stresses building up in the wider area. The grabens were connected Read More

Microfossils and the World of Chalk and Chert

Microfossils are those fossils that require a microscope to carry out fundamental identification. They are the fossils of a biologically diverse group of organisms, including microscopic algae, protists, and invertebrates, Read More

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 Read More

The Schwerin Sweet Spot

The current energy situation, together with a favourable geological setting and recent technical advances, have put the Schwerin geothermal project back on the radar big time. Schwerin, the capital of Read More

The Poles were bang on time

It must have been a good moment for PGNiG Norway’s Subsurface and Exploration manager Chris Dart to present his company’s business outlook at the recent NCS Exploration Strategy Conference in Read More

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 Read More

Attention for Andaman

In Southeast Asia, industry attention in recent months has been very much focused on the deep-water Indonesian portion of the Andaman Sea. This is a consequence of the Harbour Energy Read More
