We had a terrific group, as usual, join us in Durango, Colorado for the Geocosm consortia meetings on January 28-29. The meeting featured lectures and workshops associated with new features coming in Touchstone v. 8.4 and T>Map 3.5, presentations on ongoing research topics, and two outstanding participant presentations on topics of great interest to the…
Read More3rd International School on Diagenesis
The Applied Sedimentology Group at the GeoZentrum NordBayern (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg) and Geocosm LLC. announce the 3rd School on the Diagenesis of Silicilastic Sediments on September 7-11, 2020. The school will be held at the Geozentrum Nordbayern in Erlangen, Germany and will focus on the controls on sandstone diagenesis and their implications for data interpretation and modeling.…
Read MoreGeothermal Reservoir Quality from Diagenesis Modelling
This talk at the European Geothermal Congress 2019 by researchers at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (an RQC member organization) explores the use of Geocosm’s Touchstone system for evaluation of reservoir quality for geothermal energy. Geocosm’s Linda Bonnell also is among the authors.
Read MoreEAGE Presentation
Rob Lander and Linda Bonnell from Geocosm gave an invited presentation at the EAGE in Copenhagen regarding the state-of-the-art in reservoir quality prediction methods on June 11, 2018. Summary: Sandstone reservoir quality prediction has moved from a reliance on simple empirical trends (e.g., porosity vs. depth) to include process-oriented forward models. Process-oriented models are more…
Read MoreClastic Reservoir Quality Prediction Models: Past, Present, and Future
In this invited talk at the Annual AAPG Meeting, Geocosm’s Rob Lander and Linda Bonnell review the history and current state-of-the-art in reservoir quality prediction models while also discussing potential future developments. Over the past 20 years reservoir quality assessment has expanded from a focus on description to encompass process-oriented models. These models predict rock…
