Hydrogen Tech Redefines Geoscience’s Role in Energy Future

Leading the Way: Hydrogen Detection Instrument Driving Geoscience’s Energy Transition and Natural Capital Mapping Agenda

The Hydrogen Mapping Airborne Spectrometer H-MAS will mean a beforeand after in the approach and understanding of hydrogen as an energy source.

Xcalibur Multiphysics, a leading innovator in advanced technology solutions, is pleased to announce a 12-month research agreement in collaboration with Curtin University of Technology to develop an instrument for the long-range detection of hydrogen.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in the quest to harness clean energy sources and combat climate change. H-MAS, short for Hydrogen Mapping Airborne Spectrometer, is poised to be a ground breaking tool that will allow for the reliable, rapid, and remote detection of low concentrations of atmospheric hydrogen.

Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a clean and abundant energy source, andnaturally occurring hydrogen is seen as a valuable adjunct to large scale generation.

The detection and mapping of these natural resources is the primary motivation forthis project. The transition to hydrogen will not be without hazards, and the technology developed will also be valuable for the remote detection of hydrogenleaks from large scale storage and production facilities or pipelines.

The development team comprises Professor Charlie Ironside, who has over 30 years of experience in semiconductor optoelectronics research, Emeritus Professor MervynLynch, with 60 years of experience in remote sensing research, and Dr Jacob Martin,whose expertise in ultrafast laser spectroscopy will be extremely valuable. Complementing this group is Andrew Lockwood, from Xcalibur Multiphysics, who brings 30 years of applied geophysics research to the team.

Xcalibur Multiphysics aims to play a pivotal role in the pursuit of a just energy transition, and its commitment to advancing hydrogen detection technology aligns with the urgent global transition toward sustainable and secure energy sources.

In words of Andres Blanco, CEO of Xcalibur Multiphysics: we firmly believe that responsible mapping of natural resources is the corner stone of a more sustainable global economy.

With our commitment to H-MAS, we are entering an era where our perception of hydrogen within the current energy landscape will under go a profound transformation, bringing us closer to realizing our vision of a greener, more sustainable future.

New instrument to support natural capital mapping and energy transition goals of the geoscience Industry

Xcalibur Multiphysics, the worldwide leader in airborne geophysics, have announced a collaboration with Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), to produce a novel next generation airborne gravity gradiometer.

Responsible mapping of natural resources is a critical component of sustainable investment, supporting the transition to clean energy, tackling climate change, protecting biodiversity, and building more inclusive and circular economies.

This new instrument will augment Xcalibur’s existing technology, allowing for efficient, targeted exploration through non-invasive data acquisition and analysis from Xcalibur’s airborne platforms. With the anticipated significant improvement in sensitivity and resolution, the ability to map geology, detect specific targets and model the data will be greatly enhanced.

The technology has the potential to change the way governments, exploration teams, and scientists use and integrate multi-physics data and will lead to faster, more informed decisions about how to manage natural resources.

We believe in investing in R&D projects that not only push the boundaries of applied science, but also contribute to protecting biodiversity by efficient mapping of natural resources to support the energy transition.

We are excited to add this new technology to our already impressive toolbox, and to continue our efforts to democratise access to high quality remotely sensed data said Andres Blanco, Chief Executive Officer of Xcalibur Multiphysics.

Xcalibur Multiphysics updates MagCUBE IFR WebMap via ArcGIS Online

Xcalibur Multiphysics updates MagCUBE IFR WebMap via ArcGIS Online

Warning: Constant template_defecto already defined in /app/wp-content/themes/xcalibur/blocks/Columns/index.php on line 24

Following the completion of the Xcalibur acquisition of the CGG Multi-Physics group in July 2021, we have released our updated MagCUBE In-Field Referencing (IFR) models webmap covering major shale plays throughout North America.

These IFR models for measurement while drilling (MWD) utilize both the outlines of the various shale plays (Bakken, Marcellus, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Woodford, Niobrara, and Delaware) available via the Energy and Information Administration (EIA) that are published on ESRI’s LivingAtlas and the current Baker-Hughes Interactive Map Rig Count to delineate the extent of these pre-calculated models.The GIS team published the MagCUBE model coverage back in 2019 onto ESRI’s ArcGIS Online (AGOL) platform.

AGOL serves a large portion of the GIS community with approximately 2.1 million active users. In December of 2021, the AGOL platform shared over 48 million items which included maps, apps, and layers and had over 153 billion basemap requests, such as those accessed in the Xcalibur MagCUBE WebMap.This interactive layer allows operators and drillers to easily see if their assets intersect with the Xcalibur model coverage on their ArcGIS desktops or their online webmaps.  With MagCUBE, both onshore and offshore directional drilling projects are more accurate with reduced costs. This advanced technology is available globally, and exclusively, from Xcalibur Multiphysics.
