Analysis of the AAPG giant fields database reveals that there has been a step change in volumes of oil attributed to non-structural traps in the last 20 years. Why is that – and where should we be looking for them?

An innovative new modelling workflow for reservoir characterisation has been developed that is capable of producing an advanced 3D geomodel of any subsurface zone of interest and can identify potential sand gas or oil zones that have previously lain undetected within a producing area.

The business value to transform subsurface data into a digital format is tremendous, and well worth the investment.

GEOLOG has developed an innovative workflow, integrating wellsite activity with laboratory work to define a comprehensive, high-resolution understanding of unconventional reservoir properties.

With geopolitical uncertainty, a slowing shale industry, volatile oil prices and the energy transition, 2020 promises to be an interesting year in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Easy access to accurate maps is an important part of exploration. Francis Cram, founder and CTO of MapStand, a new open platform for easy tracking of oil and gas activities and live geo-tagged news, explains how open data access will transform the oil and gas industry.

Chemostratigraphy has evolved and grown from a niche, often misunderstood, speciality into a comprehensive, inclusive, game-changing technology that delivers real insight in oil and gas exploration.

Why doesn’t the oil industry just stop exploring for and pumping out oil?

Geoscience magazine GEO ExPro Vol. 16, No. 6 is available for download. This edition of GEO ExPro Magazine focuses on Europe and Frontier Exploration, Modelling and Mapping, and Geochemistry.

Earlier this year a merger was announced between TGS-Nopec and Spectrum. Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS and now of the merged company, talks to us about trends in the marine seismic business.

Immersive, shared wrap-around sound and vision is ideal both for collaborative teamwork and for cost-effective safe training in the oil and gas industry.

Up to 60% of the world’s conventional petroleum is reservoired in carbonate rocks – but they are often regarded with apprehension by the industry.

The development of new technology is transforming the energy industry.

The Geophysical Institute of Israel (GII), a leading global seismic acquisition provider, has purchased a brand new silenced mini-Vibrator fleet from INOVA Geophysical and coupled it with the Quantum nodal receiver system.

It is more than a new name and logo. The AAPG Women’s Network is ready to move forward with a new mission and a new purpose – for everyone.
