IGI’s strong experience in compiling and quality assuring petroleum geochemical databases has been recognized by the award of a large contract from the Oil & Gas Authority (OGA) to build a database for the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
The effects of the alteration of petroleum in subsurface reservoirs due to microbial biodegradation or to physical evaporative fractionation processes are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Biodegradation is the degradation of petroleum compounds by aerobic or anaerobic microbes at the Oil-Water Contact (OWC) (e. g.
Next year on the 24-25 April 2019, the Geological Society will be hosting a conference entitled Petroleum Systems Analysis 'Science or Art? ' to celebrate the life of IGI's greatly missed founder and Director, Chris Cornford.
We are delighted to announce that Paul Farrimond will giving the Keynote Talk in the Reservoir Geodynamics session at the Petroleum Systems Conference this year. His Keynote Talk is titled: “Forensic oil geochemistry: Reconstructing the processes controlling the composition of reservoired oil”.
