PBG LTD as a consortium partner in R&D projects

"Experimental, comprehensive and multivariate interpretation of seismic, magnetotelluric, gravity and borehole data as a tool to improve effectiveness of structural and reservoir study" project financed by the NCBR National Centre for Research and Development within the Applied Research Programme; duration: 2015-2017. Consortium: AGH University of Science and Technology (consortium leader), Centrum Badań i Rozwoju Technologii dla Przemysłu, Warsaw University of Technology, PBG Geophysical Exploration Ltd.

"Experimental adaptation of airborne geophysical methods for an effective levee monitoring" (Consortium partner)

"CO2NetEast"  project co-financed by the EU and participants’ own funds and sponsored by industrial partners. The main objective of the project is to expand the existing research network activities as regards CO2 capture and storage, 

CASTOR - CO2 from Capture to Storage. The objective of the project was to develop and verify, as part of public-private partnerships, innovative technologies required for the safe and cost-effective CO2 capture and storage. In the CASTOR WP1.2 research task, which was aimed to assess the potential of geological storage of CO2 derived from the combustion of fossil fuels in the "new" EU countries and Candidate Countries, institutes and companies from those countries took part, forming the ENeRG thematic network.The CASTOR project was co-financed by the 6th Framework Programme. The Coordinator of the research task was GEUS (Denmark). From the Polish side PBG Ltd. participated in the task. Further works in this area took place as part of GeoCapacity (EU FP6) project. In Poland, the possibility of storage of CO2 derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly entails potential use of aquifers within the Permian-Mesozoic complex (Lower Cretaceous, Lower Jurassic and Lower Triassic), exploited or partially exploited oil and gas deposits (and aquifers found there) and hard coal beds containing methane.

GeoCapacity - Assessing European Capacity for Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide. The project was co-financed by the 6th Framework Program. The project coordinator was GEUS (Denmark). On the Polish side the following entities took part: Vattenfall Poland, The Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of Polish Academy of Science and PBG  Ltd.  The role of PBG Ltd. concerned the assessment of capacity for geological storage of CO2 in old hydrocarbon fields and coal seams in Poland, and data preparation for WebGIS system.

SPO WKP - targeted research project for examination of soil and water contamination with petroleum derivatives by means of geophysical methods, co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Program "Competitiveness" of the Structural Funds (SPO WKP). The objective of the project was the use of knowledge and experiences of the research partner AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland to enable the contractor – service-rendering company PBG Geophysical Exploration Ltd., to develop methodology of effective use of geophysical methods for the detection and monitoring of contaminants in the areas of old oil fields.
