Oil & gas projects move through a disciplined sequence of technical, commercial, and regulatory gates. This guide walks you from the first geological idea to steady-state production—highlighting key decisions, documents, risks, and how EPC/O&M partners like Geigerpipe help at each stage. 1) Basin Screening & Access Goal: Identify prospective areas and secure the right to […]
The pace of innovation in oil & gas has stepped up again in 2025. From all-electric subsea systems to satellite-grade methane detection and fibre-optic leak sensing, the biggest gains are arriving where safety, uptime, and emissions intersect. Below is a quick, practical tour of what’s new—and what it means for projects and operations. 1) CCS […]
1) AI moves from pilots to production Operators are using AI to steer bits, predict well issues, and compress seismic-to-drill timelines. At CERAWeek 2025, executives reported double-digit drilling-efficiency gains and AI-enabled monitoring (including drone-based) to reduce downtime. (Reuters) For subsurface, modern ML models fuse seismic, historical drilling, and real-time sensors to optimise placement and parameters—turning […]
Stage 0: Access, Licences & Stakeholders Before technical work begins, operators secure exploration rights, align with regulators and communities, and establish the project governance framework. Success looks like: Clear licence terms, stakeholder map, environmental baseline, and a risk register. Stage 1: Exploration (Geology, Geophysics & Seismic) Geoscientists screen basins, acquire 2D/3D seismic, and interpret subsurface […]
Why build a career in oil & gas? Energy demand is evolving, not disappearing. Oil & gas remains a core part of the global energy mix and will do so for decades, alongside rapid growth in gas, LNG, and lower-carbon solutions. The sector offers world-class training, clear technical progression, and international project exposure—from greenfield construction […]
