Explorer Director’s Corner By David Curtiss

A common way to understand the relationship between seismic attributes and petrophysical properties is by the use of rock physics templates, or simply by cross-plotting well log-derived elastic attributes against a color-coded petrophysical property.

How to predict thermal stress in hyperextended margins: Application of a new lithospheric model on the Iberia margin

Although passive margins have been explored for decades, they remain frontier zones with commonly little or no data available for calibration of basin models. The thermal history modeling of these margins, critical for maturity assessment, thus strongly relies on the rifting models available in basin modeling tools.

Importance of evolving fault seals on petroleum systems: Southern Halten terrace, Norwegian Sea

The role of faults in petroleum systems is important especially in cases where the hydrocarbon accumulation in the prospect or field is fault-dependent. Usually, the properties of faults in petroleum systems are considered as static through time.

Explorer President’s Column By Charles Sternbach

Keepers of the Flame

Providing energy to the world is a heroic journey. In my preface to the 2017 DPA publication “Heritage of the Petroleum Geoscientist,” I wrote that the philosopher Joseph Campbell described that the world has a few stories, and many storytellers. The “Hero’s Journey” starts with a call to adventure, overcoming trials (think of the Greek character Odysseus), and returning to tell the story.
