Geology’s Post

CASP's interactive map provides a search tool for industrial and academic geoscientists to discover decades of sedimentary basin research. As global energy demand rises and the need to transition to a low-carbon future becomes ever more urgent, the role of geological data in appraising subsurface projects is crucial. In addition to our current research themes characterising reservoir and seal components of geological carbon storage complexes in the southern North Sea, CASP also holds substantial geological datasets from 1,600 geotechnical reports on sedimentary basins both remote and close to markets around the world. Explore our interactive map to discover CASP research relevant to your interests. Check out our video tutorial to learn how to conduct spatial searches, filter results, and explore the information.

Book: Geological Carbon Storage Subsurface Seals and Caprock Integrity DESCRIPTION Seals and caprocks are an essential component of subsurface hydrogeological systems, guiding the movement and entrapment of hydrocarbon and other fluids. Geological Carbon Storage: Subsurface Seals and Caprock Integrity offers a survey of the wealth of recent scientific work on caprock integrity with a focus on the geological controls of permanent and safe carbon dioxide storage, and the commercial deployment of geological carbon storage. Volume highlights include: Low-permeability rock characterization from the pore scale to the core scale Flow and transport properties of low-permeability rocks Fundamentals of fracture generation, self-healing, and permeability Coupled geochemical, transport and geomechanical processes in caprock Analysis of caprock behavior from natural analogues Geochemical and geophysical monitoring techniques of caprock failure and integrity Potential environmental impacts of carbon dioxide migration on groundwater resources’ Carbon dioxide leakage mitigation and remediation techniques Geological Carbon Storage: Subsurface Seals and Caprock Integrity is an invaluable resource for geoscientists from academic and research institutions with interests in energy and environment-related problems, as well as professionals in the field.

I want to share a document on identifying faults, fractures, and beddings through borehole images. This document delves into how resistivity and acoustic images can reveal crucial geological features, distinguishing between significant faults, minor fractures, and bedding layers. It offers practical insights into interpreting borehole data for a clearer understanding of subsurface structures, helping to enhance geophysical logging and analysis

Recording geological data from an outcrop through a sketch map is a fundamental practice that enhances understanding of field geology through continuous practice. Creating geological sketch maps allows geologists to accurately capture and highlight essential features, serving as invaluable tools for documentation, communication, problem-solving, planning, and decision-making. Regular practice with sketch maps hones observational skills and improves proficiency, enabling geologists to better interpret complex geological environments and make informed exploration and research decisions.

The second piece of data required, before the seismic survey design process begins, is geological data. Any geological information that the client can provide us is extremely valuable. Including: - The regional and local geological setting - Target information (including name, depth, and details specific to the objectives) - Marker information (including name, depth, and how it is being used) - Any reports relating to the geology of the area When designing seismic programs, the more geological data we are given, the more accurate (or thorough) the design can be.

In the world of geology and hydrogeology, understanding subsurface formations is key to unlocking natural resources, optimizing groundwater management, and assessing environmental impacts. That's where 3D stratigraphic modeling comes in! 🔍 With tools like #Rockworks, we can visualize complex subsurface structures, analyze stratigraphic relationships, and predict resource distribution with greater precision. Whether it’s sedimentary basin analysis, groundwater flow modeling, or petroleum reservoir characterization, 3D models are transforming how we understand the Earth’s subsurface. 💡 Why is this important? Provides insights into sediment deposition and erosion processes Enhances decision-making in resource exploration and management Bridges the gap between geological data and real-world applications The stratigraphic modeling was meticulously created by me, utilizing advanced tools like #Rockworks

Unbiased independent technology assessments are crucial for ensuring that technological advancements benefit society as a whole while mitigating risks and addressing ethical concerns. They support transparent, evidence-based decision-making processes that are essential for sustainable and equitable progress. An early geological assessment of Adrok Ltd. technology was conducted by an independent veteran geologist, Jim Ward as follows: https://lnkd.in/eDeje4RT More recently independent geoscientist, Dr Dave Waters made this assessment: https://lnkd.in/eUuG3eV4

Brand New Basin Data: A Geoscientist's Dream Ah, the thrill of a fresh seismic dataset! Every explorationist gets it. Unexplored basins ignite a sense of discovery and there is nothing like mega regional-scale seismic data to spark ideas for new play concepts. Modern technology (and sometimes a new set of eyes!) unlocks secrets hidden in these datasets, offering a whole new perspective on a basin's geological history and resulting prospectivity. It's a chance to rewrite the narrative and push the boundaries of our understanding. The image below is a sneak peek at the OGA’s mid north-sea high dataset and we're eager to share our interpretation next week! What are your initial thoughts? Do you need assistance with preparing geoseismic sections?
