Serinus Energy, have reported a gas discovery at Sancrai-1 on the EIV-5 Satu Mare Block in Romania, but further testing of the well did not deliver expected results.

This article, from the second of our joint GEO ExPro student competition winners, focuses on overlooked onshore UK oil and gas prospectivity.

This famously beautiful Mediterranean coastline stretching between Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor north-west to Croatia’s Rab island, features craggy mountains, rugged islands in an azure sea, and waterfalls tumbling over travertine into emerald pools.

Geopolitically important as an oil producer for a century, Romania remains one of Europe’s largest producers.

GeoStreamer X is a broadband multi-azimuth acquisition and state-of-the-art depth-imaging solution. Here we demonstrate the suitability of the dataset for reservoir characterisation by delineating near-field exploration opportunities and providing better reservoir understanding in the South Viking Graben, Norway.

Using the latest seismic processing technologies and best-quality regional imaging to de-risk the deeper hydrocarbon potential of the Central North Sea.

Despite a drop in new exploration and appraisal drilling in the UK offshore sector, the industry remains very buoyant compared to other parts of the world.

Is it that complex? While aspects of the geological evolution may still be complex, the distribution of phase (oil vs gas) is not and can be accounted for by the expected physical behaviour of petroleum in the subsurface. We discuss maturity, phase and the 'critical moment' in more detail in this article.

MNSH PRIME 3D is a multi-client new acquisition program from ION Geophysical that covers approximately 11,700km2 of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).

A newly acquired 3D seismic survey, covering the entire Zechstein play fairway in the UK Mid North Sea High, reveals the hydrocarbon potential of the complex and highly variable Intra-Zechstein plays on the flanks of the European Permian basin.

A ‘Need-to-Have’ for understanding the regional and detailed geology of the Norwegian Sea. With recording lengths down to 16s TWT, MCG’s Regional Deep Imaging (RDI) MC2D project enables a full view of the mega-structures to be mapped - including the Moho.

How are organisations ensuring human involvement and geoscience integration in developing AI algorithms and applications for the exploration and production of oil and gas resources? At DIGEX 2021, taking place 17-18 February 2021, we will hear in more detail from companies on how they are navigating this territory.

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

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.

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.
