Webinar: Beyond Oil and Gas - Exploration at Its Core

Your exploration skills are still valuable.

Discover how the same geological thinking used in oil and gas can unlock opportunities across groundwater, carbon storage, minerals and other subsurface projects.

Wednesday 4 November | Eastern Webinar 08:00 - 09:00 GMT | Western Webinar 16:00 - 17:00 GMT

Why Attend

As the energy sector evolves, many geoscientists and exploration teams are facing an uncertain future. While resource targets are changing, the core questions geologists ask remain the same: What is there? Where is it? What controls its distribution? And how confident can we be in our interpretation?

This webinar explores how established exploration workflows in Interactive Correlations (IC) and geological reasoning can be applied beyond traditional oil and gas projects, helping professionals transfer their expertise into other areas such as geothermal, groundwater, carbon storage, and mineral exploration. You'll see how integrated subsurface data can be used to answer new challenges with the same curiosity, rigour and geological understanding that have always been at the heart of exploration.

What You'll Learn

How exploration workflows developed for oil and gas can be successfully applied to other subsurface resources.
How connecting regional, field, well, and core-scale observations can lead to stronger geological understanding and more confident interpretations.
How the geological processes we observe today, from rivers and coastlines to glaciers, faults, and volcanic systems, can provide valuable context for interpreting subsurface data and reducing uncertainty.

Tenical Operations Manager

With more than 15 years’ experience, a BSc Hons, Geoscience from the University of St Andrews, and a MSc in Petroleum Geoscience from the University of Edinburgh, Catriona Penman leads our team of technical experts and is responsible for Geoactive’s Interactive Correlations (IC) Well Interpretation software. IC enables confident insight through powerful visualisations and her role includes ensuring the integration of subsurface and geological data management requirements within the capabilities of the software and future-proofing through development for an ever-changing market and evolving in line with customer and industry needs.

IC 2026 Highlights

The latest version of IC introduces new features that streamline data management and visualization. Surface Reports now allow saving data back to the database, ensuring consistency and efficiency. Discrete Data Utilities enable bulk changes, reducing manual effort. Visualization gets a boost with Wellstick panel header options and curve fills, alongside LAS3 imports for broader compatibility. Users will appreciate more display controls, plus advanced tie management with Fault Split Ties and Reshape Ties.

Upgraded features include expanded File Export options, improved Log Browser controls, and a refined Chart Data Entry Form, making IC more versatile than ever.
