“What's measured improves.” Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005) Accurate data collection is key to unlocking insights and gaining fresh understanding! FGS is a leading provider of the most accurate, properly edited, properly lagged, and not "overly-ratioed" mass spectrometry data in the industry. All that adds up to easier to understand interpretations of your well, and a more accurate representation of your geochemistry! #wellsitegeology #massspectrometry #oilandgas #dataquality #geochemistry

Dear Geo-friends! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new collection, "Early-Earth's Oxygenation." It's now open for submissions! If you're doing research on the causes and consequences of the oxygenation events that led Earth to fill its atmosphere and oceans to reach oxygen values closer to their actual level, we want to see your amazing research in this collection! If you are interested in taking a look at the articles that are part of this collection check it on the link below. I guarantee you will learn a lot! https://lnkd.in/g_ZQYAj6 "The Great Oxidation Event (GOE) at ~2.4–2.3 Ga and the Neoproterozoic Oxidation Event (NOE) at ~0.8–0.54 Ga, were transformative events that catalyzed the development of global geological, geochemical, and biological processes, paving the way for the diversification of life. Advancements in biogeochemistry, geochemistry, and mineralogy studying the Precambrian record have revealed that these, along with other weaker oxygenation pulses, affected differently the course of Earth's reducing and oxidizing (redox) processes, based on the amount of available oxygen and its effects on Earth’s biogeochemical processes. Understanding the specifics of these events provides valuable insights into the processes that brought Earth’s redox conditions closer to their contemporary state and their impact in shaping life's diversification. This cross-journal Collection presents articles that enhance our understanding of the two primary oxygenation events that occurred on the Early Earth, as well as the weaker events that preceded and followed them. The articles in this Collection show the connection between the oxygenation events and the changes happening in the solid Earth, its atmosphere, oceans, and all biogeochemical cycles within these systems. We welcome submissions from diverse disciplines, such as biogeochemistry, geochemistry, petrology, and mineralogy."

An understanding of the geochemistry of #connatefluids is important if the diagenesis of the rock is to be quantified. The solutes in the connate fluids often precipitate and reduce the porosity and permeability of the host rock, which can have important implications for its hydrocarbon prospectivity.  #samudramanthan

In case you're interested about isotope ratio analysis and high-resolution Lcms systems, this is an on-demand workshop/ webinar that I would recommend! This is coming from me from a personal, "I'm-being-a-nerd" level that just loves the sciences and not any marketing promotion 😂. There's been a recent technological shift where Orbitraps, typically used as a high-end detector for LCMS systems in life science, have gone into the field of isotope ratio analysis.These have been historically done by magnetic sector instruments (specifically gas IRMS) due to their extremely high precision, but the Orbitrap platform allows for new and more straightforward workflows to be done in this field. I have not seen it yet and will just be going through it myself, but pretty much anything Niel Williams shares on this platform is quite good 👍.

🌎 Geochemistry Insights: Bridging Global Research Collaborations with Petrobras 🌍 I’m excited to share with you the diverse fields of knowledge that our Geochemistry department at Petrobras Research Center explores. We believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing on a global scale. Geochemistry is at the heart of understanding our planet, from the depths of the Earth to the exploration of energy resources. Our dedicated team of researchers is committed to advancing the field and driving innovation in the energy sector. But we don’t want to stop there. We believe in the strength of connections, and that’s where you come in. We aim to connect our researchers with experts worldwide and with brilliant minds in Brazilian universities.
