There’s no denying that knowledge of a programming language is a useful skill to have as we move towards an ever increasingly digital workplace. It signifies freedom to break away from software constraints by providing a platform where you can create your own processes. Interested? Read more about how and why Eleanor Oldham started learning Python and how coding may benefit you in our latest newsletter.
How good is data visualisation? This week our Senior Geophysicist Eleanor Oldham explores the advantages of good data visualisation and the potential issues to be aware of in her article 'Data Visualisation: How many Elephants are in the Room?'
Interested in understanding more about machine learning? Read our Senior Geophysicist Eleanor Oldham’s article ‘4 Reasons Not to Fear Machine Learning’ in our newsletter.
It was a pleasure to be able to attend Prospex 2020 in December last year, albeit virtually. In addition to hearing about prospects available for farm-in, there were discussions of what a net zero future may mean and opportunities to catch up with colleagues and clients. Read more about our take-homes from the conference in our newsletter.
In December, Merlin’s Principal Geochemist Paul Taylor presented an overview of geochemical production allocation methods to the Oil and Gas Focus Group.
Merlin Energy Resources Limited is pleased to announce the completion of the landmark PIP-PAD IS16/04 project “The Standard Stratigraphic Nomenclature of Offshore Ireland: An Integrated Lithostratigraphic, Biostratigraphic and Sequence Stratigraphic Framework”.
Learn how geochemical fingerprinting can provide a cost effective solution to evaluate well integrity from our Principal Geochemist, Paul Taylor.
Creating robust well to seismic ties is a crucial yet unloved workflow which must be performed at the start of any seismic interpretation project. The value added to a project by having a confident set of well-seismic ties cannot be understated. Continue reading to learn more about this important workflow..
A collaborative approach is key if we are to solve the complex puzzles that nature presents in our quest to find and produce hydrocarbons safely and economically. A huge amount of information is encoded in the complex chemical mixture that is petroleum. These processes can be revealed and reconstructed by geochemical analysis of produced fluids, mud gas or rock samples.
The use of real-time biostratigraphic data allows the position of the drill bit and drill string to be controlled during drilling. The primary aim of these biosteered horizontal and sub-horizontal wells is to expose the well bore to as much of the reservoir rock as possible and therefore enhance recovery from the potential reservoir.
A geophysical stroll around the Isle of Portland providing some structural and geological insights to the island.
Seismic surveys are a major investment and a key asset. Failure to archive all the different component items of survey acquisition and processing data to a single, safe, and known archive can carry a heavy cost in the long run. Continue reading to find out how best to look after your seismic data..
