Additional Opportunities across the Energy Transition
The transition to cleaner energy will depend on critical energy transition minerals. Minerals – such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt – are essential components in many of the new clean energy technologies and required infrastructure- from wind turbines and grid refurbishment to electric vehicles. transition.inc is looking for low-carbon production opportunities in critical minerals
What does wireline logging tell us?
Deploying the right combination of downhole geophysical methods to achieve comprehensive information about the subsurface is only part of the story. Multi-disciplinary geophysical, geotechnical and consultant engineering expertise is needed to accurately extract the full value of the acquired data.
Wireline logging: tuning into missed data, lost value and unforeseen risks
Borehole investigations have long been used to gain an understanding of ground risk and provide necessary data for appropriate foundation and construction design of new developments. But drilling boreholes, especially deep ones, can be costly. A programme of geotechnical drilling to significant depths for major infrastructure projects can amount to well over £1 million.
Reducing uncertainty, managing risk and unlocking design-phase value
When developing new assets or infrastructure, early and thorough preparation is vital to avoid delays and increased costs. The key to effective preparation is to properly deal with uncertainty in the ground, to avoid unwanted outcomes.
