Offshore Application of Compressed Air Energy Storage
In the final blog in this series about Compressed Air Energy Storage we look at the potential offshore application of the technology.
Mental Health Awareness Week
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Find out about how Merlin support mental health and how moving more can help.
An Overview of Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems
Energy storage systems exist primarily to bridge the gap between energy production and energy consumption. This blog post focuses on the use of man-made salt caverns which have long been recognised as promising for gas storage options including Compressed Air Energy Storage.
Rock Physics Course – Stavanger
At the end of April, Merlin’s Eleanor Oldham was in Stavanger delivering the Essentials of Rock Physics training course on behalf of RPS (Nautilus Training Alliance). Continue reading to find out more, and how you can sign up to the course yourself.
The Energy Storage Issue
As we need to increase the amount of renewable energy in the energy mix going forward as part of the energy transition, the requirement for energy storage solutions is imperative. Continue reading to find out more.

Excavating the ‘Rutland Sea Dragon’
In January 2021, an almost complete ichthyosaur skeleton was discovered at the Rutland Water Nature Reserve in Leicestershire. A paper describing the full excavation process and preliminary research findings was published in October last year. Continue reading to learn more about this interesting find, and what connection Merlin has to it.
Essentials of Rock Physics Course – Stavanger
Eleanor Oldham will be heading to Stavanger, Norway, for 22-25th April to deliver the Essentials of Rock Physics and Seismic Amplitude Interpretation course.
SERIES: NAVIGATING CARBON DIOXIDE PLUME FLOW IN THE SUBSURFACE, A RESERVOIR ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE.
Understanding flow physics is important in modelling the movement of CO₂ underground. Continue reading to learn more about these modelling techniques, focusing on invasion percolation.
