The global energy sector from a subsurface perspective

Worldwide

Finding A&D Opportunities in the Fog

Mike Lakin, Envoi Ltd.
Global upstream exploration deal flow in a declining commodity price market. When assessing opportunities for successful acquisition and divestment of upstream assets, looking into the future can perhaps be compared…

Drone Magic

Thomas Smith
Photographs acquired through unmanned aerial vehicles are revolutionising digital outcrop models, allowing geoscientists unprecedented insight into subsurface reservoirs. “When developing an oil field or, for that matter, any subsurface resource,…

The Digital Oilfield Are We There Yet?

Taha Taha, Emerson Process Management
A complete and integrated workflow for reservoir and production management. The last few years have seen a growing focus on the digital oilfield and a future environment where operators integrate,…

A Wind of Change?

Jane Whaley
A recent UN agreement aimed at countering anthropogenic climate change is predicted to have a major impact on the oil and gas industry. What, if anything, is being done to…

Supercomputers for Beginners – Part III. GPU-Accelerated Computing

Lasse Amundsen, Statoil, Martin Landrø and Børge Arntsen, NTNU Trondheim
Many TOP500 supercomputers today use both CPUs and GPUs to give the best of both worlds: GPU processing to perform mathematically intensive computations on very large data sets, and CPUs…

2015 Exploration Results: Eni Best in Class

Espen Erlingsen, VP Analysis, Rystad Energy
Measuring success with the drill bit. Prior to official results, the speculation for 2015 was that discovered hydrocarbon volumes would continue their downward trend. The results now in show that…

An Electrical Rock Physics Framework For CSEM Interpretation

Daniel Baltar, Neville Barker (EMGS), Matthew Carr and Christopher Schmidt (QI Petrophysics)
A low-resolution rock physics framework relating CSEM-derived Rn measurements to reservoir properties can provide precise property estimates even in high-uncertainty settings. In the November 2015 issue of the AAPG Explorer,…

Planet Oil

Nikki Jones
The BBC continues its mission of energy education with good results. The public needs to understand energy, where it comes from and where it goes. That is becoming increasingly obvious…

Rich Petroleum Source Rocks

Rasoul Sorkhabi, Ph.D.
An inventory of petroleum source rocks in the World’s major sedimentary basins show that six geological intervals in Earth’s history generated over 90% of the World’s conventional oil and gas…

Devastating Results

Halfdan Carstens
With few discoveries of note in 2015, we continue to use more hydrocarbons than we find. 2015 was a big disappointment for explorationists. Only two decent discoveries and, even worse, exploration…

Collaboration is the Future

GEO ExPro
Australian-based Searcher Seismic and Chinese BGP consolidate their relationship. In the present rather straightened times, many people in the oil and gas industry believe that collaboration, even across continents, is the way…
