The state of geoscience today: Challenges & opportunities The rise of ai in subsurface workflows Subsurface characterization has long relied on expert interpretation of subsurface rock samples, well logs, and seismic data. As datasets have become larger, and domain experts increasingly need deeper insight into complex geological heterogeneity, machine learning (ML), espec...

In the noughties and 10s, wildcat exploration, the fierce frontline of the E&P sector, was characterised by small ambitious pioneers, testing new plays in large basins, with the large caps and majors usually playing the role of “fast followers” when the drill bit turned heads. The likes of Hardman, Sterling, Ophir, the “Azi” group of...

Repurposing seismic data for carbon storage activities Carbon storage licensing on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has gained momentum, highlighting its role in the energy transition. Legacy seismic data, originally acquired for oil and gas exploration, is a valuable asset for assessing carbon storage reservoir potential. Maximising the value of this data plays a critical rol...
