ExxonMobil and partners Hess and CNOOC made another oil discovery offshore Guyana; encountering 36.7m of oil in Cretaceous sandstones in the Uaru-2 wildcat well on the prolific Stabroek Block.

PTTEP announced in May its offshore Sirung-1 exploration well as an oil and gas discovery, intersecting a column of more than 100m in Miocene clastic reservoirs, in the shallow waters off the coast of Sarawak.

With drilling, coring and logging operations now complete on ReconAfrica's PEL 73 6-2 well, clear evidence of a working conventional petroleum system has been shown in the Kavango Basin, onshore Namibia.

Automation is an area of rapid development in many industries, and it is becoming increasingly popular in the exploration and exploitation of resources and the broader geosciences.

For an O&G sector piloting transition, the issue of how an organization manages environmental, social and governance (ESG) seems to be more important than ever.

Tiny seismic nodes making high density land seismic accessible to all industries.

Join us for a geological tour of Big Bend National Park, Texas.

Largely dependent on the oil and gas industry, the state awaits a new administration’s decision on drilling on federal land.

Geoscience magazine GEO ExPro Vol. 18, No. 3 is now available for download. This issue of GEO ExPro focuses on Europe; Robotics and Automation; Unconventional Resources and the Energy Transition.

The combination of existing OBN technology, innovative survey design, and DM-FWI technology is a real step-change in high-resolution model building for oil and gas exploration, from the shallow to the deep, as proven in this recent acquisition survey in the Gulf of Mexico.

Mars is home to the solar systems’ largest volcano, its deepest canyon, and it has thick sedimentary rock formations that are mind bogglingly old. Join Dr Neil Hodgson to look at the view you get from the shoulders of NASA as we explore the geology of the Red Planet in one of our Geotalks webinars. Webinar recording is included in this article.

Operators are turning towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) to better understand geological systems, improve safety, and maximise investment and return in oil and gas exploration.

For over three billion years the surface of Mars has been sculpted by the gentle winds of a thin atmosphere, volcanism and meteorite impacts. Understanding this geology is the key in the search for life.

Mark Davies explains how volcanology led to new technology fit for exploration and hazard mitigation.

The rise of mixed turbidite–contourite hybrid sedimentary systems in hydrocarbon exploration.
