ExxonMobil, with partner QatarEnergy, is drilling the Persephone (C-54) wildcat offshore Canada’s Labrador and Newfoundland coast. This new frontier wildcat is testing a number of conventional clastic reservoirs in rifted fault blocks of the Upper Jurassic within the Orphan Basin. It is high cost but has huge follow-on potential, writes Peter Elliott from NVentures Ltd today. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/en47Q2Uc

New research indicates that polymetallic nodules on the seafloor can create electric currents strong enough to split water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The research paper has however already met criticism.   In this article Ronny Setså reflects on the research hypothesis and the scrutiny it faces from companies such as The Metals Company who have interests in deep-see mineral mining.

Sweden comes third in the list of countries using geothermal energy. From around 1996, the average depth of shallow geothermal boreholes drilled in the country started to increase from around 100 m - limited by compressor capacity - to 200 m today – limited by energy demand. In today’s article, we talk to Signhild Gehlin from Svenskt Geoenergicentrum about the development of technology in Swedish geothermal space. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eybDYdm6

Sri Lanka is enduring the worst economic crisis since 1948. Are there any exploration opportunities to solve the difficult situation that the country is facing?   In today’s article, Thomas L. Davis PG PhD and Amila Sandaruwan Ratnayake describe the potential of undiscovered hydrocarbon resources in Sri Lanka’s portion of the Cauvery and Mannar basins and the potential of the Lanka Basin.

"In our current era, where companies are reluctant to drill high-risk, high volume exploration prospects, optimizing current reserves is the new way to go to arrest the decline and in some cases replace reserves in existing fields", writes Raffik Lazar from GeomodL International in his column about the rise of the production geology discipline.

A company based in Perth, Western Australia, believes that natural hydrogen has its origins at the start of the formation of the Earth – and that it is possible to produce it if explored properly. It today’s article we discuss with Vitaly Vidavskiy, Nikolay Larin and Vladimir Vidavskiy from Avalio the presence of natural hydrogen originating from the Earth’s core.

“The Cousland former gas field is also particular because it is surrounded by former coal mines. This not only hampers any future seismic acquisition: The mines also form potential sites for the buildup of hydrogen in case of seal integrity issues”. Today’s article summarizes the findings of two geologists indicating that poor quality seismic data (amongst other subsurface issues) of the onshore former Cousland field limits its potential as a safe location for hydrogen storage in Scotland.

“If they would have had geo-energy back in the Middle Ages, these loops would still be in operation today”. In today’s article, we speak to Stanley Reitsma, president of Geosource Energy Inc. in Toronto about shallow geothermal technologies and the market in Canada. This is the last of three articles in our series on the shallow geothermal industry. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eVNFRvaA
