Why traffic light play maps are useless

Henk Kombrink
When exploring a new area, it is com­mon for E&P com­panies to produce traffic light maps, with red areas be­ing the ones where one of the key play elements is…

Seismic data on the workbench

Henk Kombrink
“My goal is to equip explorationists with a toolbox containing all relevant algorithms to efficiently create optimal seismic volumes for interpretation and stratigraphical analysis,” says Anders, who hails from Sweden…

“Playtime is over”

Henk Kombrink
“A lovely little department dedicat­ed to geothermal energy. That’s what I found when I started at the Interna­tional Geothermal Association (IGA) in 2017,” says Marit Brommer, who had left a…

A cool vitrinite reflectance model

David Rajmon, Consulting Geologist
A basin model de­scribes the ther­mal evolution of a basin to esti­mate when its source rocks expel hydrocarbons and of what type. Basin models do so by evaluating a num­ber…

Creating a source rock and storing it for good

Henk Kombrink
“We started as a project when Swiss supermarket concern Migros wanted to find a solution to process its food waste in a carbon-neutral way,” says geologist Tim Baars from Recoal.…

The E&P industry of the future

Rachael Moreland, VP Global Energy Software & Innovation Lead
An industry in transition or transformation? The upstream E&P sector has faced challenges over the last decade, including a downturn, the energy transition, and COVID-19. The industry is resilient but…
