career at Humble Geochemical where he was tasked with method development, instrument maintenance, and general lab and project management. He then joined Baseline Resolution where he continued developing and optimizing specialized pyrolysis and hydrocarbon separation methods for onshore and offshore petroleum systems. These specialized methods became the standard for Baseline’s Global Network of Laboratories, ensuring that high quality and consistency were globally available within the lab network. Walker then worked with his staff to obtain an ISO-9001 certification and began establishing a PVT laboratory
ION Geophysical Reprocesses 62,000 km of Colombia's Vintage Offshore Seismic Data
prestack time and depth data delivers allows operators to assess the basin not only at a lower cost, but also with lower risks.”According to information in ION Geophysical's Data Sheet on the Caribe 2D program, analysis of the available seismic and well data reveals established functional petroleum systems in offshore Colombia producing different hydrocarbon types. Per the document, the offshore areas in Colombia can be divided into four areas, three of which have been extensively studied: Uraba, Sinu Offshore and the Guajira Offshore area. The fourth area, the deepwater and ultra-deepwater
Geoscience Packages Reveal APAC Prospectivity
it within a geological context.The NWS JumpStart package encompasses the Northern Carnarvon, Roebuck, Browse and Bonaparte basins, where recent Triassic discoveries have heightened industry interest. The new study fills key knowledge gaps regarding the region’s Triassic paleogeography and petroleum systems and mitigates exploration risk for clients evaluating Triassic plays in this region, CGG said.The Banda Arc JumpStart package brings insights into this highly complex and challenging tectonic region at the collision zone between continental Australia and the Indonesian archipelago where historically
CGG Completes 2D Survey Offshore Gabon
company CGG said it has completed acquisition of 9,800 km long-offset broadband 2D multi-client seismic survey in the highly prospective Gabon South Basin.Fast-track data sets will be delivered in batches from the end of April, giving interested oil companies sufficient time to understand offshore petroleum systems and appraise blocks offered in Gabon’s 12th offshore licensing round planned for September 2019.This modern data set will help define the full extent of existing and new plays in the region. It will also aid in understanding the thickness variations in the sediment overburden for source
Sri Lanka Signs Deal for $50 Mln Offshore Seismic Study
country's east coast to evaluate any prospective oil resources, a senior government official said.Sri Lanka signed the agreement with Eastern Echo DMCC, a subsidiary of Schlumberger, to carry out seismic data acquisition surveys, advance data processing and interpretation work or modelling of petroleum systems."The main objective of entering into this agreement is to acquire more petroleum data using modern acquisition and processing techniques," Arjuna Ranatunga, Minister of Petroleum Resources Development told reporters after signing the agreement in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.Ranatunga

It is also currently undertaking a JumpStart™ program, integrating all this data and the available wells, to complement the 80,000-km2 seismic volume and deliver from one place all the information needed for a comprehensive understanding of the petroleum systems in the pre-salt area. CGG also provides coverage of other significant basins offshore Brazil. Its recently completed Megabar pre-stack depth-migrated data set in the Barreirinhas Basin is part of its extensive Equatorial Margins coverage, where it is also working on another JumpStart
Play Fairway Mapping is Key in the North Sea
prospectivity in the prolific North Sea hydrocarbon province, according to the new Ternan play evaluation report released by global energy services company LR Senergy. The Ternan 2015 Integrated North Sea Report is the latest in a series of regional play fairway evaluations that analyze petroleum systems and provide exploration specialists with a unique insight into the regional risk factors that impact subsurface studies. The reports are designed for evaluation and screening of exploration opportunities. They help minimize regional risk and increase exploration success, and can be used for
