By building on knowledge from the petroleum industry and experience of over 23 years of storing CO₂ in deep geological formations, we can make a new value chain and a business model for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the North Sea Basin.

The basic idea behind CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is simple, but what are the main challenges and practical issues preventing a more global adoption of this method?

The USGS’s Senior Research Geologist, David Houseknecht, is working to unlock the underexplored petroleum systems on the Alaska North Slope in the wake of recent giant discoveries.

While wandering 240 km across California from Bakersfield to Death Valley, the geotourist can marvel at a range of superlative wonders, from the densest developed oil field to the deepest canyon and the lowest point in the United States.

Sir Thomas Boverton Redwood, arguably the father of petroleum engineering in Britain and a giant in the history of the petroleum industry, died 100 years ago in 1919. We take a brief look at his life and his contributions to oil and gas.

Denmark has a rich exploration history with numerous hydrocarbon discoveries totalling over 100 MMboe in recoverable reserves. Recently reprocessed vintage 3D data provides the perfect platform to support any renewed exploration efforts in Denmark.

The role of gas in the transition to renewables is the driver behind a local energy company on the Isle of Man, with the backing of local business, government and the community.

The origin of shale gases has important implications on their ability to provide hydrocarbon reserves.

Regional maps combining both vintage and modern interpretations are vital tools for both students and professionals.

Why do we need a regional stratigraphical framework for the North Sea?

There are no simple solutions to transforming the world’s energy systems.

What would the temperature of Earth be without the atmosphere? By using simple physical models for solar irradiation and the Stefan-Boltzmans law for blackbody radiation, we can estimate average temperatures with and without atmosphere.

Analysis of the AAPG giant fields database reveals that there has been a step change in volumes of oil attributed to non-structural traps in the last 20 years. Why is that – and where should we be looking for them?

Proven oil and gas reserves up for grabs in Malaysia’s next world-class acreage offering.

A new regional study of the South-Eastern Caribbean hydrocarbon exploration opportunities using deep seismic imaging.
