How can we attract the next generation into the oil and gas industry?

A Minute to Read: Rock Physics Technology AS take the next step in reservoir characterisation with their own innovative Inverse Rock Physics Modelling method for rock physics driven quantitative seismic interpretation.

EMGS has to date acquired 950 surveys in 36 countries and territories, from Spitsbergen to New Zealand, all calling on their specialist CSEM services.

Celebrating fifteen years of explaining oil and gas geoscience and technology to geoscientists, petroleum engineers and the wider public.

Reduced costs mean tight oil is now the second cheapest source of new oil volumes globally.

Basin classification based on tectonic settings provides a framework not only for understanding the genesis and evolution of petroleum basins and their sedimentary fill but also process-based analogs for the exploration of frontier basins.

Are we getting better at assessing geological uncertainties that underpin our economic decisions?

Tolulope Ewherido, Vice President, Technical-Geoscience at ExxonMobil, is able to satisfy her passion for technology and her interest in Big Data, while steering the company towards the most efficient use of new digital tools.

How can cloud technologies help me as a geoscientist? Here we offer a demystifying guide and provide the answers to some of your questions.

As we move into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, it is increasingly important that geoscientists gain a better understanding of coding and how it can be used in the oil and gas industry. Jo Bagguley from the UK Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) tells us about an innovative approach to help improve this understanding: the coding ‘hackathon’.

The key to all seismic interpretation is the interpreter’s experience and knowledge, so why should artificial intelligence change that? The reality is, it shouldn't.

Geomechanics is the study of how subsurface rocks deform or fail in response to changes of stress, pressure and temperature and it is becoming increasingly important in oil and gas exploration.

Taken from GEO ExPro Vol. 16, No. 2: focusing on rejuvenating oil and gas exploration; machine learning and artificial intelligence; and geomechanics.

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by American journalist David Grann

Oil and gas majors must hedge their bets if they are to ride the energy transition conundrum.
