Put aside the financials for a moment and consider: what makes a good or a bad company?

Understanding new details in the 4D seismic signal uncovered by a broadband time-lapse dataset at Gullfaks Main Field in the North Sea.

The Wilson Cycle describes the opening and closing of oceanic basins as a result of plate movements. It provides a scientific framework to follow the creation, development and destruction of sedimentary basins and how these processes impact on petroleum plays.

The first fully virtual major event held by the Petroleum Society of Great Britain (PESGB) successfully brought together speakers and delegates to discuss national and international opportunities, challenges and developments in the energy industry.

What can we learn from the world’s best petroleum basins – and what can we bring from them to the areas we explore?

The LNG project in Mozambique started with the discovery of huge reserves of natural gas off the northern coast in 2010, will provide a range of social and economic benefits to Mozambique. Following his recent panel appearance at Africa Oil Week Virtual, we talk to Omar Mithá, special advisor to President Nyusi of Mozambique, about the importance of this project to the future prosperity of this emergent regional gas producer.

New high-quality 3D broadband seismic data re-ignites oil and gas exploration in the mature Northern Viking Graben basin of the Northern North Sea.

Rocks have long inspired poets, so this event brought together poets and geoscientists to discuss how, in an era of climate change, their disciplines can influence each other and to further encourage the rocks to speak.

Benefits of seismic forward modelling: mitigating risk is always a focus within the oil and gas industry but it becomes even more crucial in these times, with an ongoing pandemic and ensuing low oil price.

As North Sea oil and gas fields reach the end of their lives and face decommissioning, can their infrastructure be used to invigorate stranded undeveloped reserves and discoveries?

The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently released its annual World Energy Outlook, which provides a comprehensive view of how the global energy system could develop in the coming decades.

As the effects of the pandemic deepen, many companies within oil and gas are reluctant to replace face-to-face courses with online learning, fearing the interactivity of the learning experience would be compromised.

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 wind energy. In this short article we will cover the basics of seismic horizon interpretation and how this is used to obtain stratigraphic information.

In search of a silver lining.

Many may argue about the best use for Artificial Intelligence: is it in the exploration or the development of oil and gas resources? This article illustrates with case studies that AI sits comfortably in both, and forms a bridge between the two, allowing interpretation continuity.
