Richard Swarbrick’s Ikon GeoPressure team in Durham predicts sub-surface pressures at regional and local scales, vital for the future pursuit of difficult hydrocarbons.
With the market for Permanent Reservoir Monitoring (PRM) continuing to grow along with deepwater field expenditure (Douglas-Westwood forecasts global deepwater CAPEX of US$225 billion between 2011 and 2015), TGS company, Stingray Geophysical, is currently engaged in a collaborative programme which will enable its fibre-optic seismic sensing arrays to be permanently installed in depths of up to 3,000 metres.
Maximising fixed cutter bit performance in shales and carbonates.
Eustatic sea level change is a subject much debated in the literature. But what is eustasy, can it be recognised, what controls it – and why does it matter to exploration?
NEOS GeoSolutions integrates a wide range of geophysical and geological information to produce new 3D models of the earth’s surface, with the aim of helping exploration companies make faster, more informed decisions with less risk.
Four-D petroleum system modelling allows an explorationist to understand the movement of hydrocarbons from an active source rock to a fluid’s final destination in the basin, ultimately helping to reduce exploration risk.
From opening new doors in the understanding of gas flow in low permeability shale packages to reservoir monitoring and enhanced recovery, nanotechnology’s potential is huge.
Active listening to passive seismic pays off for shale plays.
What is known about the impact of seismic surveys on fish and fisheries?
