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.
Eleanor Oldham attended the Geological Society’s 3rd CCS Symposium last week. Continue reading to see what take-homes Eleanor took from the conference and learn how CCS is developing worldwide.
Helen Bone went to Royal Holloway's Earth Sciences MSc Symposium last week to watch the talks by the latest cohort of geoscience students. Continue reading to find out more.
Eleanor Oldham will be presenting 'Efficient Storage Complex Characterisation and 4D Monitoring Feasibility using Rock Physics' at the third Energy Group CCS symposium.
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.
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. Continue reading to learn more and see some fantastic pictures of the geology and landscape.
This series has run over 7 previous articles and has focussed on the key technical distinctions between carbon dioxide storage projects and traditional hydrocarbon production. Read our latest blog, the last in the set, to recap what we have discussed and learn what Merlin has to offer.
Modelling CO2 storage sites presents unique challenges compared to traditional reservoir simulations due to the different timescales the models need to operate over. Read our latest article to learn more.
In this latest blog post, we delve into the role of geomechanics which describes how fluids influence rock behaviour. Continue reading to learn more.
A couple of weeks ago, Bill Wilks attended DEVEX 2024 and was lucky enough to join the conference field trip to the southern coast of the Moray Firth, NW of Aberdeen. Continue reading to read the full article and learn more about the outcrops of fluviatile and aeolian dune sands between Covesea and Burghead, which show sedimentary and tectonic deformation.
Ensuring the integrity of the caprock is paramount for the long-term viability of a Carbon Dioxide storage site. Continue reading to learn more about the challenges of caprock evaluation.
Our Principal Stratigrapher Phil Copestake will be giving the next GESGB evening lecture online on 30th April. Continue reading to find out more about his talk and how to register.
