Sage Geosystems Inc. (Sage), a transformative geothermal development company, is excited to announce an investment from Ignis H2 Energy Inc. (Ignis) and its sister company Geolog International BV (GEOLOG). This strategic partnership will help accelerate the deployment of Sage’s proprietary technologies that vastly expand the reach of economic geothermal development, including much needed long duration, low-cost energy storage solutions (“Battery+”) that will help balance the grid as intermittent renewable resources such as wind and solar continue to rapidly expand and experience increased curtailment.

India is currently experiencing an intense spike in COVID-19 cases which has led to a near-collapse of the public healthcare system, a rise to over 400,000 confirmed new daily cases and over 220,000 COVID-related deaths. With many GEOLOG staff native of India we have reached out to friends and charity workers operating in India and have selected the following charities and fund-raising organisations to which we have made monetary contributions.

Exedra, in conjunction with GEOLOG, introduces to the world, a novel P&A verification method, by applying a tracer gas below the Permanent Environmental Abandonment Plug barrier. The tracer gas will provide a sensitivity approximately 1000 times higher than today’s conventional pressure method. The introduction of an unambiguous, fast and sensitive verification method will pave the way for more cost-efficient P&A solutions which can be adopted to most plugging solutions and geometries. The technology has been developed in conjunction with Equinor Technology Ventures, ConocoPhillips, AkerBP and supported by Innovation Norway.

Wishing all our colleagues, customers, suppliers and friends a very peaceful Ramadan. May this holy month bring peace all over the world.

With the collaboration of GEOLOG, InWell is a Real Time Operational Center (RTOC) where drilling and completions operations around the globe are monitored. This allows the sharing of knowledge between specialists and allows operational interventions in near real time, even if physically distanced from the rigsite. The 24/7 RTOC creates a more centralised and efficient method of improving safety and utilising resources, with expertise and knowledge sharing contributing to the prevention of issues, operating more effectively and efficiently, and enhancing financial performance.

Advanced Mud Gas Evaluation in a Complex Clastic Reservoir While Drilling in the Usano Field of PNG

February 2020, Papua New Guinea Geosciences Conference and Exhibition

This case study describes how the analysis of a range of hydrocarbon components enabled accurate reservoir zonation in an area of very complex geology. Specific proxies from the gas data were used to confirm fluid types and identify gas/oil/water contacts (GOC/OWC) in an environment where downhole tools failed to deliver definitive results.

GEOLOG and Kuwait Oil Company jointly presented the paper “The Application of Well Site Isotopic Analysis for Reservoir Evaluation” (#1533) at the SPWLA Symposium (June 2016). This paper documents for the very first time in the oil industry the successful measurement and utilization of carbon isotopic data from C1, C2 and C3 while drilling in real time, to characterize an oil reservoir.
The scope was to characterize the reservoir fluids and the source rock fluids in terms of maturity, and identify any vertical or horizontal variations across the basin. The successful evaluation of the reservoir was based on a novel technology which permitted extending the range of carbon isotopic analysis beyond methane, to light hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane. This technology advancement has broadened the analysis done while-drilling and generated an isotopic data density much superior to what can be obtained in the laboratory.

As customary for GEOLOG, we will present one of our recent published technical papers at the yearly SPWLA Symposium - this year held in Reykjavik, Iceland, on June 25-29.

Together with our co-authors, Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), a paper on carbon isotopes detection from mud gas will be presented by GEOLOG. Such work is the result of the ongoing and fruitful partnership between GEOLOG and KOC spanning nearly 10 years.
