How do we release the full potential of university–industry collaboration in creating relevant innovations in petroleum and geoscience?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

GEO ExPro are pleased to announce the result of their UK student 'have your article published in GEO ExPro' competition. Because of the excellent quality of the final entries, we have decided to make two competitors the joint winners.

The basis on which natural gas is sold and priced varies dramatically between global markets. As natural gas becomes an increasingly important source of energy, an understanding of gas pricing concepts is crucial for energy producers, transporters, consumers, and regulators.

Visualisation technology and data analytics for handling big data has improved exponentially in oil and gas exploration and production.

Carbon dioxide: least wanted – or most wanted accessory?

Geoscience magazine GEO ExPro Vol. 17, No. 6 is available for download. This issue of GEO ExPro focuses on North West Europe; Super Basins; Seismic Interpretation; and Gas, GTL and LNG.
