2nd School on Sandstone Diagenesis
Geocosm staff once again helped to teach the Second School on Sandstone Diagenesis, which was held at GeoZentrum NordBayern in Erlangen, Germany on August 26-30, 2019. The school provides Ph.D. candidates and professionals from around the world with a comprehensive overview of the processes that control sandstone diagenesis and rock properties.

Geocosm is helping to invent this nascent field, which uses a rigorous chemistry and physics based approach for simulating the properties and geologic evolution of sediments and rocks in 3D at the grain scale. In the examples below, created with our patented Cyberstone™ system, we simulate deposition, compaction, cementation, and pore-scale fluid flow. (US Patent…

The AAPG editorial staff has selected four articles that include Geocosm scientific research or simulation technology as Notable Papers based on citation counts three years after publication. Geocosm’s Rob Lander is a co-author of three of the papers Geocosm’s Linda Bonnell is a co-author of two of the papers. The fourth paper is authored by…
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 More1st School on Sandstone Diagenesis
Geocosm geologists were among the organizers and lecturers at the First School of Sandstone Diagenesis, which was held on August 27-29, 2018. The school had a full capacity of well over 30 participants and included representatives from Europe, Africa, the Middle-East, and North America. Roughly 2/3 of the participants were doctoral candidates with the remainder…
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…
