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.

New multisensor 3D seismic acquisition and processing technologies reveal hydrocarbon potential at the Grand Banks in the North Atlantic basin, offshore Newfoundland.

Exploration for critical minerals in sedimentary rocks and basins is rapidly growing in the US as the country seeks to decrease its dependency on China, which has been the dominant exporter of critical minerals in the past three decades.

Last year, the North American E&P community saw a symbolic negative oil price blink, rig counts and production rates plummeting, a new US administration slapping moratoriums on federal land and waters while appointing ‘greens’ to high positions. All in all, an upstream world turned upside down.

Structural cost efficiencies help extend the Haynesville’s core.

After decades of dispute, the rights to drill for oil on about 5% of the 78,000 sqkm Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) went ahead in the last months of the Trump presidency

These geologically oriented tours of some of North America’s most iconic landscapes will certainly satisfy the most ardent geoscientist as well as the curious layman in Gary L. Prost's Geological Tours of The World: North America's Natural Wonders (Two Volume Set), published by CRC Press in 2020.

The 2004 Covenant oil field discovery promised to open up a very favorable, large onshore oil province. Thirty additional wells have been drilled in the play since, but only one found producible oil. What happened?

Studies offshore Nova Scotia have shown that combining geochemistry and microbial genomics can effectively de-risk off shore deepwater oil and gas exploration.

Eastern Canada is one of the most promising deepwater exploration areas in the world, where the implementation of state-of-the-art imaging technology is critical to develop a more detailed local subsurface understanding.

Provider of marine geophysical services Shearwater GeoServices has been awarded a major ocean bottom seismic (OBS) deepwater remotely operated survey (ROV) project by TGS and partner in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Gulf of Mexico final investment decisions are likely to be put on hold, as oil and gas exploration and production companies join the budget-cutting parade.

Depth modelling using several algorithms has significantly improved salt imaging in the Bay of Campeche, revealing greater insight into the oil and gas opportunities in deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

CGG and Fairfield Geotechnologies will acquire a series of large-scale, high-density, multi-client seismic surveys in one of the most prolific hydrocarbon regions in North America - the Central Basin Platform (CBP) of the Permian Basin in West Texas.

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.
