Articles

Data operations as a service

Data delivery challenges are attributed to rigid internal workflows or processes and a need for more capacity/legacy media infrastructure to handle data volume and data delivery media variability. Data vendors Read More

Advances in survey design

The traditional model of survey design uses a survey design tool to create geometry which is passed to a different program – often Excel – to estimate cost. Iterating to Read More

Developments in seismic data processing techniques

Dedicated software programs employ several techniques, including non-linear traveltime tomography, land-specific FWI, bending ray Kirchhoff migration, anisotropic depth imaging, and horizon-consistent velocity modeling, to achieve obtaining accurate earth models.  The Read More

Leslie Kimberlite core

The history of diamond exploration in the Northwest Territories began in 1981 with Charles Fipke and Stewart Blusson sampling the Mountain Diatreme in the Mackenzie Mountains. While this prospect did Read More

Retraining for CCS projects

Understanding the technical and operational risks in each component of the transport and storage system is rudimentary to CO2 leakage prevention and system performance optimisation. For instance, injection well issues Read More

An analogue for Ephesus?

BP has just completed the Ephesus or Cape Creel exploration well off the northeast coast of Canada, which has unfortunately been reported dry. The main target of the well was Read More

Tractors and Technology

“Remember, oil is a product of nature”, says César Patiño when we meet on Teams in April. In his role as a delegate for the International Energy Agency Technology Collaboration Read More
