Plotly and Python: Creating Interactive Heatmaps for Petrophysical & Geological Data

Interpreting the subsurface requires understanding how geological and petrophysical data varies across a region. This often involves dealing with well log measurements and interpreted properties scattered across the area, which leads to the challenge of estimating the values between these measuremen...

Immigration to Canada as a Geological Engineer in 2023

Undoubtedly, there is a high demand for geologists in Canada. According to data from the Canadian government’s job bank, the demand varies across different sub-fields. However, the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador...

New approaches to high-resolution geological simulations

Geological and reservoir modelling are critical for geological exploration, resource extraction, and geoengineering projects. Current workflows and datasets record geological variations on metre or decimetre scales. However, many relevant geological structures exist at sub-centimetre scales. Dr Achy...
