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

Tiago Cunha

Senior Petroleum Geochemist / Basin Modeller

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. Where the sampling campaign has been underestimated in its application for frontier exploration de-risking, this integrated analysis explores tectonic scenarios and new concepts for the thermal history of the margin. A primary goal of this study is to put constraints on the extent of the kitchen areas for the Late Jurassic-Mid Cretaceous source rocks, particularly in the deep offshore, using the campaign's additional data for a more robust calibration.

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.

Why Geochemical Modelling CO2 Storage?

The geological storage of CO2 is a promising means to help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy transition stages (e. g. , Raza et al. , 2022).
