Malaysia: PGS reports final PSDM data now available for entire Sabah area
15 Feb 2021
PGS reports that final imaging products are now available on all parts of the giant
Sabah MultiClient project, enabling AVO analysis of prospects and leads within the entire offshore Sabah Basin.
Phase 5 acquired by PGS in 2020 brought total coverage to 47,000 sq km.
Commenting on the newest data focused on the inboard trend, Tad Choi, PGS Sales & New Ventures Manager for Asia says: The new, fully AVO-compliant dataset for Phase 5 will improve understanding of the complex geology across the Sabah Trough and the Fold and Thrust Belt terranes, enabling advanced QI workflows to derisk reservoir presence and variability.
Studying Earthquakes Through Eyewitnesses Can Be Tricky
Release Date:
January 29, 2021
Scientists rely on seismometers and eyewitness accounts to identify an earthquake’s location, time and magnitude. A new study explores how the latter can be limited by socioeconomic factors, which can create biases in datasets that scientists use to characterize seismic hazards and coordinate emergency response.
As early American pioneers forged a long, arduous path across the country during the Westward Expansion, an earthquake hit what is now the State of Oklahoma on October 22, 1822.
“The trembling and vibrating were so severe as to cause door and window shutters to open and shut, hogs in pens to fall and squeal, poultry to run and hide, the tops of weeds to dip, [and] cattle to lowe [sic],” the Cherokee Advocate reported.

Abstract: Incremental pluton growth can produce sheeted complexes with no magma-magma interaction or large, dynamic magma bodies communicating via crystal and melt exchanges, depending on pulse size and frequency of intrusions. Determining the degree and spatial extent of crystal-melt exchange along and away from plutonic contacts at or near the empla
