  • Digital Energy Journal: Double North Sea oil with Rock Physics?

    Exploration and Drilling Double North Sea oil with rock physics? Martyn Millwood Hargrave, managing director of London-based company Ikon Science, believes that rock physics based technologies could help find and access a further 4 billion barrels of oil in the North Sea, on top of the 4 billion barrels thought to be left to be recovered through normal means. "In the North Sea there are about 4 billion barrels left to be found with conventional E&P methods but up to 8 billion barrels using rock...

  • The Shared Earth Model Re-Visited A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management.

    A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management. P. A.Gutteridge & D. E Gawith THE SHARED EARTH MODEL RE-VISITED Introduction There is an earth model implicit in the work of every subsurface discipline. Seismic interpretation is guided by a constantly-reviewed mental model. A flow simulation model is a numerical abstraction guided by the engineer's feeling for the dynamic effects of geological features and rock properties. Sedimentol...

  • 'Volcano gets choke chains to slow mud' - Nature Magazine

    NEWS NATURE|Vol 445|1 February 2007 Volcano gets choke chains to slow mud Indonesian geophysicists hope to stem the flow of a destructive mud volcano on East Java by dropping chains of concrete balls into its mouth. The mud eruption began on 29 May last year in the middle of a rice paddy in the village of Porong, 30 kilometres south of Surabaya, the provincial capital. Since then, the volcano has spewed out up to 126,000 cubic metres of mud a day, flooding an area of more than 4 square kilomet...

  • Hart E&P: Emerging technologies – MWP, Modelling While Picking

    Harts E&P December 2006 Pages 41-43 Emerging technologies ­ MWP, Modelling While Picking A combination of two software tools provides a greater understanding of the rock physics of a reservoir. Author ­ Martyn Millwood Hargrave, Ikon Science The technological focus of geoscientific interpretation has always shifted with the E&P industry's challenges and opportunities. At the start of the millennium, visualisation of large 3D seismic data volumes set the pace and recently the industry has seen...
