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.

Onwards and Upwards

“Onwards and upwards” is an English idiom that means keeping going and reaching towards greater achievements in future, typically after some sort of setback. It ably sums up the positive feeling within IGI at the moment.

Geochemistry

Molecule of the Month - Benzohopanes

By Paul Farrimond

These aromatic biomarkers are unfortunately rarely used in petroleum geochemistry. They have the five-ring structure of the hopanes but with an aromatic ring fused to the E-ring in place of the normal side chain.
