IBM's AI Adviser Promises 'Transformation' of Oil Exploration

Of all the changes coming in the oil and gas industry, artificial intelligence is likely to be one of the most significant. 'I think we are living in a truly unprecedented time that AI technologies have the potential to transform the exploration and production processes,' said Ulisses T. Mello, director of IBM Research – Brazil. IBM has developed an AI-based adviser to aid and enhance seismic interpretation in partnership with Galp, a Portuguese energy group with a global footprint.

From Antarctica to the World

Antarctica is not known for its hospitable environment or its warmth. But for Paola Tello Guerrero, an oil and gas physicist-turned-environmental activist, Antarctica represents connection, passion and inspiration. The icy continent lit an inner fire that she is taking around the world.

Sustainable Development in Energy and AAPG

While there is a diversity of views about the topics and terms of sustainable energy development, these are the trends that are shaping our industry, and because we’re a global industry it affects every one of us. AAPG must recognize these trends and engage its current and future members in the discussion.

Multispectral Coherence Attribute Applications

Coherence is an iconic attribute that finds its place in most workstation interpretation software packages. Much has been written about this attribute and the usefulness of its applications. The geologic feature imaging in three-dimensional seismic data volumes is done well by the coherence attribute as three-dimensionality is an essential ingredient of its computation.

What is the Role of Geoscience in the Age of Renewables?

Charting the landscape of the future of the oil and gas industry is the purpose behind the AAPG “Energy Transition Forum – A New Era for Geoscience,” in the Netherlands later this year. The forum includes professionals from Shell, Statoil, The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, University of Plymouth, Schlumberger, K-UTEC IBM, International Geothermal Association and Google.

Darkening Skies: The Qatar Well Fires of the 1950s

In a film about the disaster, “Fire at Dukhan,” the narrator breezily announces: “She went up at midday on Saturday, all 3,200 pounds to the square inch of her, and it wasn’t long before the derrick and the upper works collapsed in the heat into a pile of melted junk!”

Geothermal, Lithium, Hydrogen: New Energy from Subsurface Fluids Conference

For the first time, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Geothermal Rising are bringing together geothermal, critical minerals and gases to explore the connections between them, either in the formation of the reservoirs or reserves, or in exploring for, evaluating, and producing them. Specifically, the conference will bring together geothermal, lithium, geologic hydrogen, helium, iodine, and more in the form of technical presentations, probing panel discussions, poster sessions, and more.

DL Abstract By Isabelle Moretti

The Natural H₂ Exploration Started: Why, Where and by Who?

Why H₂ is generated in subsurface? Which are the reactions and the promising geological setting? Example in countries where H₂ have already been found: Australia, Brazil. Kinetic reactions: i.e., Is the natural H₂ renewable? What we don't know yet about this resource and about the H₂ systems (generation/transport/accumulation). Overview of the current landscape (subsurface law, permitting, E&P activity)
