BEOS 2025: A full review
In our latest blog post we share the take-aways from BEOS 2025 regarding the state of the industry and future trends. Whilst the traditional E&P industry continues to be sluggish for smaller companies, the dawn of sub-surface energy storage could herald a golden age for geoscientists. If you couldn’t make it, give it a read and get the gist of what you missed out on.

Advisory Services
Value optimisation is an essential driver of any industry. Merlin offers red flag reports which clearly communicate risks and uncertainties identified against key project metrics.
Sunny Sedimentology
Dave Whitworth gives a part technical, part geoliday write up of his PhD fieldwork to southwestern Utah. His study area is centred on the Zion National Park and his research focusses on the interactions between continental and marine sediments and their potential to act as reservoirs for carbon storage.
