TGS has released the North West Europe Facies Map Browser (FMB) 4.6.0.
TGS has released the North West Europe Facies Map Browser (FMB) 4.6.0. providing insights across the UK and Norway Continental Shelf.
The latest version, the result of a year-long process of data conditioning and geological interpretation, includes all new E&A wells from the UK and Norway Continental Shelf, new data types, such as porosity and permeability data from core measurements, and mud gas logs. Jurassic, Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary stratigraphy upgrades have been completed utilizing well data and the TGS seismic library to provide a framework for developing play concepts and delineating prospects in both frontier and mature near-field areas.
FMB 4.6.0 desktop browser includes functionality updates and improvements to the performance of the query and visualization tools to make it easier to use what TGS claims is the largest cross-border well database in North West Europe.
The North West Europe FMB database continues to expand as work commences on the next annual release, scheduled for release in Q1 2022.
Will Ashby, executive vice-president Eastern Hemisphere at TGS, said that the tool supports both conventional oil and gas exploration and regional carbon storage assessment: ‘The Facies Map Browser is an invaluable resource that provides the most current subsurface data and expert geologic knowledge to enable better quality and more informed investment decisions.’
