Getech, the natural resource exploration specialist, continues to support Imperial College students with projects that contribute to their MSc studies. This year’s Petroleum Geoscience MSc project was undertaken by William Jewell, who was tasked with using play-based exploration assessment techniques to review the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the offshore Brazil Santos Basin. The starting point for…
Reducing exploration risk by confirming petroleum source and charge is a major component of petroleum system analysis and is a critical phase of any exploration program. The use of cloud-penetrating radar data in offshore basins to detect and isolate slicks emanating from sea floor seepage of oil and wet gas is now seen as…
Having released our ArcGIS Pro version of Unconventionals Analyst – along with hearing about more oil and gas companies making the switch from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro – I thought it would be useful to highlight some of my favourite features in the software to help customers using this fantastic tool for US onshore development…
