Sorkhabi Paleozoic hydrocarbon plays in NW Europe remain relatively under-explored, both The history of the European oil and gas onshore and offshore, despite the great industry reflects local as well as global success of the Carboniferous and Permian political events, economic constraints in the southern North Sea. This Special and the personal endeavours of individual Publication brings together new and petroleum geoscientists as much as it does the previously unpublished knowledge about development of technologies and the underlying the Paleozoic hydrocarbon systems of NW geology of the region. The first commercial oil Europe. wells in Europe were drilled in Poland in 1853, Romania in 1857, Germany in 1859 and Italy in 1860. The 23 papers in this volume focus on the history and heritage of the oil and gas industry in the key European oil-producing countries from the earliest onshore drilling to its development into the modern industry that we know today. The contributors chronicle the main events and some of the major players that shaped the industry in Europe. The volume also marks several important anniversaries, including 150 years of oil exploration in Poland and Romania, the centenary of the drilling of the first oil well in the UK and 50 years of oil production from onshore Spain.

Marine geophysical methods, in particular seismic reflection data, can help characterize offshore hydrogeological systems and yet the existing global database of industrial basin wide surveys remains untapped in this context. In this paper we highlight the importance of these data in groundwater exploration, by reviewing existing studies that apply physical stratigraphy and morpho-structural interpretation techniques to provide important information on—reservoir (aquifer) properties and architecture, permeability barriers, paleo-continental environments, sea-level changes and shift of coastal facies through time and conduits for water flow. We then evaluate the scientific and applied relevance of such methodology within a holistic workflow for offshore groundwater research.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In the exploration and production business, by far the largest component of geophysical spending is driven by the need to characterize (potential) reservoirs. The simple reason is that better reservoir characterization means higher success rates and fewer wells for reservoir exploitation. In this research work, seismic and well log data were integrated in characterizing the reservoirs on “ALA” field in Niger Delta. Three-dimensional seismic data was used to identify the faults and map the horizons. Petrophysical parameters and time-depth structure maps were obtained. Seismic attributes was also employed in characterizing the reservoirs. Seven hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs with thickness ranging from 9.9 to 71.6 m were delineated. Structural maps of horizons in six wells containing hydrocarbon-bearing zones with tops and bottoms at range of −2,453 to −3,950 m were generated; this portrayed the trapping mechanism to be mainly fault-assisted anticlinal closures.

Migration of gas usually originated from the deeper reservoir due to poor sealing properties of the cap-rock as well as existence of faults or fractures within the reservoir. In order for us to get familiar with the existence of gas seepage on seismic data, we need to know their characteristics and how do they look like. This paper present several features of gas seepages as viewed on seismic data and how to straight away recognize them at the first time viewing the data. Detailed observation of the seismic data affected by gas leakage shows that the top of the gas leakage always exhibit bright amplitude with notable wipe-out zone within the gas chamber. The seismic reflections within the gas seepage also gives chaotic reflection and give difficulties in interpreting the structure within the gas seepage.
