The processes involved in oil and gas research have transformed dramatically over the course of the last two decades. At the forefront of those changes have been the introduction of advanced
Core samples for research can provide a wealth of information for both producers and researchers seeking to unearth information regarding the production potential of a specific geographic area.
In Calgary, Canada, geologists are continuing to evaluate a massive core sample that has perplexed oil and gas researchers since the 1970s. Referred to as the Grosmont sample, the carbonate is current
Ensuring the success of a well is always important. Although a well may exhibit some presence of hydrocarbons, the simple fact of the matter is that not all wells will produce enough hydrocarbons
Drilling exploration has begun in a new location off the coast of Norway in the North Sea. The proposed well is intended to target the Cliffhanger North prospect, situated between the Norwegian Contin
Almost half a century ago, the Bazhenov shale oil field was accidentally discovered in a swampy area located in West Siberia. Today, work is rapidly progressing toward developing what may be the large
Although oil and gas initially formed millions of years in the past, it does not remain in the same place. Instead, it moves around through rocks until it reaches a barrier, often referred to as a
While oil and gas companies typically seek ways to reduce risk, exploration and production can be a high-risk and expensive business. One of the best ways to reduce the inherent risk of exploration
According to a recent government report, a massive geological formation that stretches across both the Dakotas as well as Montana could contain roughly twice the amount of “oil” and three
The search for various forms of energy today is vitally important. Although the protocols for conventional reservoir evaluations were established many years ago, it has only been in recent years that
