Viridien Geology’s Post

The Versatility of a Geoscientist Geoscientists are among the most adaptable professionals out there. Taking myself as an example, I’ve had the privilege of navigating through various spheres of geoscience, from groundwater geophysics to exploration geoscience, reservoir geoscience, and now, mining geoscience. Each field comes with its unique set of tools, resources, and challenges, but the beauty of being a geoscientist lies in our academic foundation. During our academic journey, we are exposed to a wide array of disciplines within geoscience. This  exposure equips us with the flexibility to transition smoothly across different specialties in our professional careers.  It’s been about a year since I delved into petroleum geology or worked with softwares like Petrel, but I am pretty sure that if the need arises, it wouldn’t take much to get back on track. This adaptability is one of the many reasons I love being a geoscientist! #geology #mining #petroleumgeology #geophysics #exploration #geoscience

Meet Natasha Morris, E3’s Senior Geologist. Last week, Natasha attended the EETiG conference, where she led a session called “Deepening our Geologic Understanding.” Read on to learn about her takeaways from the conference, and what she has to say about working at E3. "At the EETiG conference, it was incredibly encouraging to see the level of enthusiasm, motivation, and growth within the emerging energy space. The need for significant investment is clear, as it is crucial to the growth of decarbonization and emerging energies. Equally important is the growing spirit of collaboration – working with Indigenous bands, stakeholders, operators, and regulators to develop new standards for shared development. The increasing influx of technical specialists into this field highlights the remarkable growth and potential within our community. Starting 16 years ago as a core tech in Northern BC, my journey through the geosciences has been far from linear. Key milestones in my career include the discovery of approximately 2mm wide visible gold in a fist-sized piece of quartz while prospecting in 2021, publishing a paper on Montney geochemistry in a peer-reviewed journal in 2018, and most recently, co-authoring a whitepaper with my colleagues at E3 this past fall. What I enjoy most at E3 is the opportunity to delve into geochemistry and collaborate with an incredible team. Though we are a small team, we are agile, with each member bringing unique skills to the table. The most exciting opportunities for the company's future are in exploration and discovering lithium in subsurface brine deposits. E3 is not only pioneering a new lithium industry in Alberta but is also privileged to lead the way in mapping out lithium sources and systems within these subsurface brine plays." #Lithium #AlbertaEnergy #AlbertaBusiness

How identifying geothermal well targets Watch our video series' latest and last episode, which was brought to you by Swiss Geo Energy and Ad Terra Consultancy. In this episode, Martina Cervelli, our dedicated geologist at Ad Terra Consultancy, takes you through selecting the optimal site for geothermal exploration.   By analysing historical drilling data and naturally occurring faults in the subsoil, we develop a static geological model that serves as the foundation for dynamic geological and thermal models. This data-driven approach integrates geology, geophysics, and engineering disciplines, helping us identify target reservoirs and potential drilling trajectories.   Our primary focus is on two significant rock layers, with ages ranging from 247 to 145 million years. These layers, rich in limestone, anhydrite, dolomites, and other lithologies, present promising opportunities for geothermal energy extraction.   Subscribe to our Ad Terra LinkedIn page for more updates, and watch the following videos about Swiss Geo Energy's GeoCogen Eclépens project.   #GeothermalEnergy #SustainableEnergy #Geology #AdTerraConsultancy #SwissGeoEnergy

How identifying geothermal well targets

Canstar is committed to a data-informed, first-principles approach to mineral exploration. These high-resolution, project-scale surveys lay the foundation for a deeper geological understanding of the mineralized structures at Golden Baie and Facheux Bay. By identifying the structural controls for gold and antimony mineralization at both projects, we can conceptualize known mineral occurrences to inform further exploration and create models to guide new discoveries. New geological modeling completed by Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Geoscience Solutions Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, proposes that the area's complex folds and faults may not have been fully understood in past interpretations. Increasing the understanding of these known mineral occurrences could help identify additional structural settings and potentially expand isolated prospects into larger exploration districts. https://lnkd.in/gsxdXkzE

📢 Unlocking Asset Value with Comprehensive Solutions! Comprehensive solutions allow increasing asset value in a short time frame. ✴ By conducting a thorough assessment of uncertainties and addressing geological and technical risks, companies can make informed decisions to enhance their assets. In this post, we will explore the key elements of comprehensive solutions that contribute to increasing asset value. ✅ Assessment of Uncertainties and Geological Scenarios: One of the primary steps in the process is estimating the variability of geological scenarios for field development. By analyzing seismic anomalous objects, experts can identify potential opportunities for optimizing asset value. Additionally, evaluating uncertainties in well and structural interpretation helps in developing a more accurate understanding of the asset's potential. ✅ Accuracy of Depth Structural Model: To ensure the reliability of asset valuation, it is crucial to evaluate the accuracy of the depth structural model. By utilizing advanced techniques and technologies, experts can enhance the precision of the model, leading to more accurate estimations of the asset's value. ✅ Exploration Strategies and "Value of Information": Developing effective exploration strategies is another key aspect of comprehensive solutions. Experts work towards creating a roadmap for asset development, which includes validating the geological model. By leveraging data-driven insights, companies can make informed decisions regarding the potential of the deposit, ultimately impacting the asset's value positively. ✅ Data-Driven Decision-Making: Comprehensive solutions provide data-driven support for decision-making processes. By utilizing advanced analytics and algorithms, companies can make informed choices when it comes to setting the potential of the deposit on the balance sheet. This ensures that assets are accurately represented and their value is maximized. ✅ Project Documentation and Implementation: Lastly, comprehensive solutions involve the preparation of project documentation. This documentation serves as a guide for implementing strategies and ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned. By having a well-documented plan, companies can streamline operations and increase asset value effectively. ⬆ With accurate estimations and effective exploration strategies, the value of the asset can be maximized, leading to long-term success. #SeismicAI #DeepLearning #Innovation #SeismicExploration #ArtificialIntelligence #energy #geoscience #geophysics #oilandgasexploration #oilgas #DataVisualization #seismic #SeismicData  #oilexploration #gasexploration

This was a fantastic project led by Evan Mutual on the Qeye side and Kelly Wrobel from Woodside Energy. This project resulted in a very innovative workflow to close the gap between seismic inversion workflows and reservoir simulations. It was very rewarding to see QI geophysicists and reservoir engineers working very closely towards a common goal. #collaboratetoinnovate #reservoirengineering #geophysics

To condensate vintages of seismic data down to meaningful reservoir properties needs a collaborative effort between G&G people and reservoir engineers. This was indeed the case for this study.
