After many decades of research, 1st Subsurface has compiled a database of over 1,800 fields and discoveries offshore NW Europe. Trends in reservoir age, properties, hydrocarbon fluid properties and up-to-date life of field production histories and remaining reserves show the state of all the assets in all the basins. We will show a series of maps by geologic age for oil and gas discoveries and fields from the UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland & Faroe Isles - that is, the entire North Sea and Atlantic Margin. Interesting trends emerge, cross-cutting international boundaries seamlessly.
Many geologists operate within sub-basins or confined by national boundaries. TROVE databases (we call them ‘KnowledgeBases' as they cover so much more than tables of numbers and data!) cover every accumulation in all basins. See where your prospect, discovery or field fits within regional trends. Find analogues for opportunities your company is evaluating - be it an exploration prospect, a proposal for funding or a farmout / IM. Enhance your acquisition or divestment proposal with a hub analysis showing all the tieback/hub potential around any chosen asset in the entire North Sea region.
To see an illustration of how future developments in this mature province require collaborative hub developments , please visit 1st Subsurface Oilfield Management for an example of these comprehensive area evaluation techniques. This example covers over 10 undeveloped discoveries in a small geographic area.
Mike Cooper, 1st Subsurface Oilfield Management
Mike Cooper is now in his fifth decade in the O&G industry, hence the executive-blonde hair colouring. Mike heads up an experienced team of enthusiastic research geoscientists at 1st Subsurface who compile, update and analyse subsurface data worldwide. Unlike other resources on the market, TROVE KnowledgeBases include all open-source technical data for every accumulation in a basin. See seismic examples, reservoir maps, correlation panels and more for every field & discovery - at the click of a button. Mike is passionate about the future of oil & gas which will continue to be needed for decades to come. He also started TROVE Renewables Limited and delivers KnowledgeBases for all forms of renewable energy to aid companies transitioning to these new energy resources. So, if you want to see where wind, wave, tide, geothermal assets etc are located relative to oil & gas assets across NW Europe, don’t miss the AAPG “Let’s Connect” webinar at 12:00hrs (GMT) on 11th November 2020.
