Sunny Sedimentology
Dave Whitworth gives a part technical, part geoliday write up of his PhD fieldwork to southwestern Utah. His study area is centred on the Zion National Park and his research focusses on the interactions between continental and marine sediments and their potential to act as reservoirs for carbon storage. Continue reading to learn more and see some fantastic pictures of the geology and landscape.
SERIES: NAVIGATING CARBON DIOXIDE PLUME FLOW IN THE SUBSURFACE, A RESERVOIR ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE.
This series has run over 7 previous articles and has focussed on the key technical distinctions between carbon dioxide storage projects and traditional hydrocarbon production. Read our latest blog, the last in the set, to recap what we have discussed and learn what Merlin has to offer.

Merlin Energy proudly sponsors the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark and summer GeoFest events. Continue reading to find out more.
SERIES: NAVIGATING CARBON DIOXIDE PLUME FLOW IN THE SUBSURFACE, A RESERVOIR ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE.
Modelling CO2 storage sites presents unique challenges compared to traditional reservoir simulations due to the different timescales the models need to operate over. Read our latest article to learn more.
SERIES: NAVIGATING CARBON DIOXIDE PLUME FLOW IN THE SUBSURFACE, A RESERVOIR ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE.
In this latest blog post, we delve into the role of geomechanics which describes how fluids influence rock behaviour. Continue reading to learn more.
Sedimentary and Tectonic Deformation in the Permo-Triassic Hopeman Sandstone, Moray Coast
A couple of weeks ago, Bill Wilks attended DEVEX 2024 and was lucky enough to join the conference field trip to the southern coast of the Moray Firth, NW of Aberdeen. Continue reading to read the full article and learn more about the outcrops of fluviatile and aeolian dune sands between Covesea and Burghead, which show sedimentary and tectonic deformation.
SERIES: NAVIGATING CARBON DIOXIDE PLUME FLOW IN THE SUBSURFACE, A RESERVOIR ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE.
Ensuring the integrity of the caprock is paramount for the long-term viability of a Carbon Dioxide storage site. Continue reading to learn more about the challenges of caprock evaluation.
Asia Pacific Conference 2024
The GESGB and SEAPEX Asia Pacific conference is taking place on Tuesday 18th to Wednesday 19th June at the Kia Oval, London. Our Chartered Geologist, Helen Bone, and Reservoir Engineer, Ben Adillah, will be attending.
Introducing the Geopark
Merlin has posted a number of times about its sponsorship of the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark, but we have never fully introduced it. This blog aims to correct that oversight and introduce you to a scenic part of the country that we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep. Continue reading to find out more.
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.
