Welcome

The Geophysical Society of Pittsburgh is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the science of geophysics in the Appalachian Basin. We are an official section of the Society of Exploration Geophysics (SEG).


Bi-monthly meetings are generally held from September to May on the first Tuesday of each month at various locations around the Greater Pittsburgh area. However, be sure to check the event calendar as exceptions to this rule occur often. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.

"High Resolution Isotopes: A new approach to unlock valuable reservoir insights in Marcellus/Utica


Presented by:

Carl SymcoxDirector of Geosciences at Edge Systems


Abstract: EDGE will discuss a powerful emerging technology for real-time subsurface evaluation: the SLB C1 Isotope Logger. This advanced gas detection tool can identify depletion trends, fracture and fault contributions, fluid mixing, and distinct “line of death” compositional shifts. Because methane isotopic signatures are fundamentally linked to hydrocarbon fluid maturity, they provide a robust geochemical signal that is less susceptible to operational noise and surface contamination than traditional gas ratio analyses. Real-world examples will be shared from several different basins, including the Marcellus/Utica.
