Built on Conversation
Conversations, that is the first thing we think about when looking at this issue of the magazine. Around 50 people contributed to it, and many of those we spoke to personally over the phone or on Teams. Sometimes just for a little insight on a particular technical issue, and sometimes to hear about an entire career.
A Regional Focus on Southeast Asia
Our regional focus this time is in Southeast Asia. This is reflected both in the cover story about the Andaman Sea, and our portrait interview with Aqilah Amir Jamalullail from PETRONAS. Aqilah tells about her humble background, trying to make ends meet as part of a large family, and the way she was and still is determined to make a difference.
The Andaman Sea in Focus
In recent years, the Andaman Sea has produced some intriguing exploration results. Andy Racey and Andy Taylor present an update on the wider area and its further potential, while Rob Chambers reflects on the development scenarios of the gas finds.
From Timor-Leste to Geothermal Targets
Finder Energy, in collaboration with Searcher, takes the reader to Timor Leste to discuss the development potential of a series of discoveries and how reprocessed seismic resulted in an uplift of imaging quality. At the same time, PSS GEO, in their first-ever foldout article, discuss the interesting outcomes of a geothermal exploration study and how this can be used to accelerate finding new targets.
Familiar Sections, New Voices
Our regular sections return with fresh perspectives. This issue covers oil in igneous rocks in Oman, a rarely discussed mechanism for hydrocarbon leakage, and how tracer technology continues to evolve in geothermal projects.
We also welcome Juan Cottier, who contributes his first column to the magazine. It marks the beginning of what promises to be an original and thought-provoking series of geoscience insights.
