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.
Bill Wilks and Phil Copestake are looking forward to attending the GESGB BEOS conference "Standing on the shoulders of giants" taking place on 4-5th March 2025.
Helen Bone and Georgina Lockham are looking forward to attending the SPE Geothermal Conference in just three weeks time to join in the conversation around sustainable energy for the future and what role geothermal energy will play in this. Continue reading to find out more.
In order to further develop Merlin’s capability in wind energy subsurface support, Merlin’s Geoscientist Georgina Lockham, and Senior Geophysicist Eleanor Oldham have recently attended a course and conference dedicated to this net zero energy solution. Continue reading to learn more.
As part of our very busy conference season Helen Bone attended the 11th GSL Geothermal Symposium last week where a wide range of issues were discussed from data and the subsurface, to infrastructure and policy. Read her latest blog post to learn more about the conference and her thoughts on geothermal energy for the future.
Bill Wilks and Helen Bone have recently returned from Africa Oil Week. The show offered a great opportunity to network and to engage with the burning issues that frame the entire energy discussion across the continent. Continue reading to find out more.
Bill Wilks and Helen Bone are attending Africa Oil Week and are looking forward to being part of the discussion on Africa's energy mix, including both traditional oil and gas and low carbon solutions. Continue reading to find out more.
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.
Bill Wilks and Helen Bone will be heading over to Cape Town for Africa Oil Week, taking place on 7th to 10th October, which brings together the global community of African energy stakeholders. Continue reading to find out more.
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.
In late June, our Principal Geologist Phil Copestake was lucky enough to join the post IAS (International Association of Sedimentologists) 2024 conference field trip to the isles of Skye and Raasay. The main emphasis of the trip was on the depositional environments of the Lower and Middle Jurassic succession, but also the relevance in the wider context of correlation to the North Sea and Mid Norway. Continue reading to learn more about the fascinating geology of the Scottish highlands and see some beautiful pictures of the landscape and, of course, the rocks.
