UK Continental Shelf: an evolution in 3D seismic imaging of the Central North Sea
Exploring the deeper potential of the Central North Sea With recent successes, such as the Glengorm and Isabella discoveries, the Central North Sea is proving that the deeper potential may…
The West of Shetland Petroleum System
While aspects of the geological evolution may still be complex, the distribution of phase (oil vs gas) is not and can be accounted for by the expected physical behaviour of…
UK Gas Shock – It Shouldn’t Be
The UK has little to no gas storage capacity and is at risk of becoming overly reliant on renewable energy to keep the lights on this winter, according to John…
