A Simple Guide to Seismic Horizon Interpretation
2D and 3D seismic data are major sources of information in the oil and gas industry, as well as for geothermal energy activities, carbon sequestration in geological reservoirs and offshore…
Why Is Natural Gas Priced Differently Around The World?
The basis on which natural gas is sold and priced varies dramatically between global markets. As natural gas becomes an increasingly important source of energy, an understanding of gas pricing…
Hydrogen and CCS in Future Energy
What is the role of hydrogen together with carbon capture and storage in enabling a net zero carbon energy system? Hydrogen as a clean energy source and carrier has rapidly…
No Longer a Dream
The upstream oil and gas industry collects huge amounts of data, yet very rarely analyses more than a small fraction of it. In addition, some decisions need to be made…
What is Digital Twin Technology – And How is it Used in Oil and Gas?
The idea of the ‘digital twin’ is catching on in the oil and gas industry. But what exactly is it, and how can it help? A digital twin is a…
Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part VIII – How Carbon Dioxide Absorbs Earth’s IR Radiation
Skydive with us into the quantum world and find out how carbon dioxide molecules absorb thermal IR radiation. “I call this Spirit, unknown hitherto, by the new name of Gas,…
Oil & Gas: An Eventful Few Months
The oil and gas exploration industry has been breaking records – but not necessarily ones it had planned. We are more than halfway through the year 2020: and what a…
Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part VII – Arrhenius’ Greenhouse Rule for Carbon Dioxide
Here, we investigate the relationship between radiative forcing (heat warming) of carbon dioxide and its concentration in the atmosphere to better understand climate feedback and sensitivity. In Part II of…
