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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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…

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…

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…
