Emily Rees - Geoscientist - Landmark Exploration Insights
Carboniferous Basin Fill and Systems Tract Evolution: A Model for Source Rock Development
Talk Description.
The Carboniferous basins of the UK initially developed in an extensional setting, and include a wide range of depositional environments. They go through a distinct evolutionary pattern, from isolated shallow marine basins with carbonate platforms, to deep water organic rich depocentres, to over- and under-filled clastic margins with prograding deltas, and finally to coal-rich swamp environments. Each extensional basin within the UK onshore has its own distinct characteristics with regards to how the basin filled, and the nature of this basin fill has implications for the development of source rock across the UK, and hence the prospectivity of Carboniferous extensional systems in the onshore.

Dr Robert Trice - CEO - Hurricane Energy
The fractured basement play West of the Shetlands
As Hurricane’s founder, Robert has over 25 years’ oil industry experience. He has combined specialist technical expertise in fractured reservoirs’ characterisation and evaluation. He has a PhD in Geology from Birkbeck College, University of London and gained the bulk of his geoscience experience with Enterprise Oil and Shell. He has worked in field development, exploration, well-site operations and geological consultancy. Robert has held the position of Visiting Professor at Trondheim University (Norway) and has published and presented on subjects related to fractured reservoirs and exploration for stratigraphic traps.
It is Robert’s vision that lies behind Hurricane, providing clear strategic direction as the company develops and he takes the lead in all aspects of the scientific and technical heart of the company.
Hurricane Energy
Hurricane is a new generation of oil company that exists to discover, appraise and develop oil from fractured basement reservoirs.
We have an experienced team of experts in basement reservoirs. Between us, we have spent decades in the oil industry. Hurricane has discovered more oil in the UK in the past ten years than any other company.
We can do this because we look at things differently to other oil companies. We are innovative, pioneering and creative. Technically led and driven, we use our niche expertise to find oil where others have looked but not seen. We exploit discoveries and we help to realise the value of those discoveries.
We are a company with a small team of staff, operating to the highest corporate standards but with a minimum of bureaucracy.

He is a petroleum engineer with over thirty years of experience. He has a degree in Chemical Engineering from Peterhouse, Cambridge and started his career as a petrophysicist with BP.

He has also worked for Halliburton and Petrofac as well as founding Challenge Energy, Exile Resources and Setanta Energy.
Pharis Energy Ltd
Pharis Energy Ltd was founded as The Steam Oil Production Company Ltd in early 2014 to apply for a licence covering the Pilot discovery. Since then Pharis has added two further licences covering the Blakeney, Elke, Narwhal, Dandy, Feugh and Crinan discoveries. Pharis initiated the Concept Select process in September 2019 and has selected polymer flooding as the preferred development strategy for the viscous oil present on its licences. Pilot can produce 80 mmbbls, whilst the remaining discoveries could add a further 90 mmbbls to overall recovery from the area.
