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.
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.
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.
Our Principal Stratigrapher Phil Copestake will be giving the next GESGB evening lecture online on 30th April. Continue reading to find out more about his talk and how to register.
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.
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.
The fluid dynamics of CO₂ differ significantly from those of hydrocarbons due to variations in density, viscosity, and phase behaviour. A nuanced understanding of CO₂ flow physics is imperative for effective modelling and prediction. Continue reading our latest blog to find out more.
Understanding the properties of supercritical CO₂ is pivotal for accurate subsurface modelling. Read our latest blog post to learn more about this unfamiliar phase.
Only 4 days left until the BEOS show in London, where Merlin will be showcasing the East October Prospect, a ‘nugget’ located in the Gulf of Suez. Continue reading to find out more.
Knowledge gathered from decades of hydrocarbon exploration is vital to help us with our efforts in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). However, despite many parallels, there is a significant difference between natural migration of hydrocarbons and the flow of injected CO₂ underground. Robust modelling and simulation of CO₂ plumes is therefore required to fully understand fluid movements to ensure the safe and efficient storage of CO₂. This article looks at these similarities and differences and what it all means for the advancement of CCS going forward.
Bill Wilks, Eleanor Oldham and Georgina Lockham will be attending BEOS 2024! Come and say hello, we will be located at booth 46. Continue reading to find out more about the conference.
