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

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.

Box-Size Numerical Modelling of Hydrogen Migration and Trapping: Testing bio-chemical sinks

By Tiago Cunha & Marianne Nuzzo

MARUM - Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany

Javier García-Pintado & Marta Pérez-Gussinyé

We introduced the usage of a box-size numerical model of miscible multiphase flow, with explicit advection and diffusion in both the liquid and gas phases, to model the migration and…

Total Organic Carbon – Revised TOC Cutoffs

By Andrew Green
 

In petroleum geochemistry, a source rock is classified as an interval of rock that contains sufficient organic matter of the right type that has the potential to generate, or has already generated, commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.

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.
