How can cores of two different diameters be sitting in one and the same core box? That looks a bit odd, but there is an explanation for it.... Read here: https://lnkd.in/eDGSyNun

Rodney Garrard writes in today’s article: "The environmental ideology driving the statement, 'the sooner hydrocarbons or fossil fuels are gone, the better for the world,' is misguided and misses the fact that to create a positive future for all the world’s citizens, the world desperately needs more energy, not less."

Today we report on a fascinating case study from the Netherlands, where a geothermal exploration well was drilled earlier this year. Despite reservoir properties looking to be excellent, flow test results were not as good as expected. That's where the extensive suite of logs and other data acquired came in - ultimately enabling the team at operator EBN B.V. to explain why the flow tests were disappointing.

Mongolia does not often feature in oil and gas news, but that's not to say nothing happens in that part of the world. Elixir Energy Ltd (EXR.AX), from Australia, have drilled and tested a series of very thick Permian and Carboniferous coal seams in the south of the country to test the potential for coalbed methane production.

Graham Davis recently retired as Harbour’s chief petrophysicist after four decades of being immersed in making sense of logs, cores and other drilling data. He served as a mentor to many generations of petrophysicists and other G&G folk. During this talk, Graham will share his insights on how his profession, and the wider subsurface workflows, have changed over the decades, what to do to confidently announce and develop a discovery, and what geologists can learn from petrophysicists.... and vice versa. And of course, there may be a series of anecdotes from the front line! In addition, Westwood Global Energy Group will provide an overview of drilling activity across the North Sea. 🗒️ - Tuesday 26th November 2024 - 12:00-14:00 ⬇️ - Atholl Hotel - 54 King‘s Gate, Aberdeen 🥪 - Will be served 🎫 - £10 👉 - Registration: https://lnkd.in/ef6Mhbmy GESGB (Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain)

Mining a “source rock” for the battery industry. The Molo mine in Madagascar produces graphite, a high-purity form of carbon that may have the same origin as conventional petroleum source rocks. Or not... Read more: https://lnkd.in/edty9_-P

Querent AI’s semantic knowledge graphs visualize complex geological data, uncovering trends across large datasets, as demonstrated with the Gulf of Mexico basin. While highly efficient for spotting trends, it complements rather than replaces human intuition in exploring new ideas or challenging existing theories. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJRwJ-Xz

Today and tomorrow, GEO EXPRO's Chief Editor, Henk Kombrink, is attending PETEX - the largest subsurface-focused E&P conference and exhibition in the UK. PETEX is organized by the GESGB (Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain). Come meet GEO EXPRO in London!
