Mechanisms and advantages of CO2 storage in basalt reservoirs

Storage of CO2 in geological formations depends on a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms such as physical trapping below caprocks or trapping by dissolution in groundwater. The most effective storage mechanism is the permanent mineralisation of CO2 by conversion into carbonate minerals (Benson et al. , 2005).

Molecule of the Month - Gammacerane

This unusual hopane-like compound is recognised together with the hopanes in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram and was for many years used as a biomarker of hypersalinity due to its common high abundance in sediments deposited under such conditions.   However, a key paper by Sinninghe-Damsté et al.

Tiago Cunha (IGI Ltd) will be attending the First EAGE Atlantic Geoscience Resource Exploration and Development Symposium – Marrakech

4 - 7 of May 2025 - to present the latest results on our Petroleum Systems Modelling (PSM) study for the MSGBC Basin.  

A joint effort between TGS and IGI integrates the results from an extensive multibeam and seafloor sampling campaign with a regional seismic data set.

How do: Equations work

IGI’s software has a powerful equation system that computes derived values automatically when input properties are provided. But what are input properties and whare derived values?  

Let’s take everyone’s favourite pristane/phytane ratio as an example.
