NEOS has completed Phase I of its multi-measurement project in Argentina’s Neuquen Basin, having delivered the results to the program’s underwriters (a group that included a North American supermajor). This particular survey made extensive use of hyperspectral imaging to map outcrops, detect oil seeps, identify indirect hydrocarbon indicators, and even delineate Total Organic Carbon (TOC) variations on an areal basis …
Click here or on the image above to access In the Zone, the company magazine of NEOS GeoSolutions. Developed for and distributed at the SEG annual conference, In the Zone features the technologies underpinning multi-measurement interpretation (MMI) and the applications of MMI techniques to both conventional and unconventional oil & gas plays. The inaugural edition also …
In 2011, NEOS GeoSolutions kicked off its first-ever project in Appalachia – a combined neoBASIN survey over all of Tioga County, PA and a more focused neoPROSPECTOR survey covering an ~80 sqkm patch in the southwestern part of the county. The objectives were clearly laid out by the lead underwriter, a supermajor that had previously bought …
Multi-measurement methodologies find application throughout the geologic column, from the basement to the surface. In this, the first of a four-part series, we look at applications in the deepest horizon of interest to most explorationists: the basement. As all geoscientists know, the basement is the foundation upon which all the other sedimentary layers rest, hence …
Well, after a year in the spotlight, it came to be time to retire our original narrated slideshow and to replace it with a newer model. Below you’ll find the latest edition, updated to reflect the latest round of projects we’ve been undertaking for our clients in conventional and unconventional basins around the world. Click here …
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that the Powder River Basin (PRB) contains approximately 1 billion BOE of remaining recoverable oil and 15 TCF (2.5 billion BOE) of remaining recoverable natural gas. Forty percent of the liquid hydrocarbons are believed to be contained in two unconventional shales – the Mowry and the Niobrara – while …
California’s Ventura Basin has been in production since 1861, the year Lincoln was sworn in as President of the United States and the first shots of the Civil War were fired. Approximately 100 oil & gas fields have been discovered since, with cumulative production from the region exceeding 4 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Although activity has …
In the April 2011 edition of First Break (the publication of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers – EAGE), a team of NEOS geoscientists describe how a successful earth model can be built using a multi-measurement interpretation (MI) methodology. An MI approach was used to map gas saturation distributions in the Bossier Formation in …
Check out this cool video from YouTube, depicting the Earth as a geoid – an idealized, sea-level surface extending around the entire globe. You can read more about this mapping project of the Earth’s gravitational field – conducted by the European Space Agency (ESA) - in the Scientific American or on the ESA web site.
