Strategic Carbon co-founder Dr. Coffin has initiated discussions with China National Petroleum Cooperation on application of mass spectroscopy in developing a contract for organizing a global oil library. In this development geochemical methods for source evaluation will be coupled with thorough statistical data evaluation and security to provide a certain source signature and legal client data. While time is required to establish a preliminary database and… Read more »

Strategic Carbon co-founder Dr. Richard Coffin led the 11th International Workshop on Methane Hydrate Research and Development in Corpus Christi, Texas.  This workshop was created for hydrate researchers and stakeholders to freely exchange information and identify research priorities in an effort to promote collaboration. The past ten workshops have been co-organized by Professors Bjørn Kvamme (University of Bergen, Norway), Tsutomu Uchida (Hokkaido University, Japan), Stephen Masutani (University… Read more »

Strategic Carbon co-founder Dr. Richard Coffin and Dr. James Mueller (Provectus Environmental Products, Inc) conducted field sampling that focus on a cleaning facility near Detroit, Michigan.  Provectus Environmental Products’ field bio-enhancement remediation technology was evaluated as a source of high methane concentrations below manhole covers near a treatment site. Stable carbon and radiocarbon isotope analysis developed and tested by Strategic Carbon experts was applied to assess… Read more »

Dr. Ingo Pecher from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, has joined Strategic Carbon as Strategic Advisor, Geophysics. Dr. Pecher is recognized as a world leader in gas hydrate exploration with a strong background in seismic data acquisition and interpretation and coastal ocean floor geological assessment. This expansion and integration with Dr. Coffin’s geochemical expertise provides SC with extensive state-of-the-art capability in offshore gas hydrate and… Read more »

Strategic Carbon co-founder Dr. Richard Coffin joined a contract with several companies to apply his isotope geochemistry background to assess long-term organic contaminant source distribution and residence time through the Hackensack River in New Jersey. Work done on this closed project will address New Jersey Environmental Regulations for which the supporting company is responsible. This work does show a strong development in basic specific compound isotope… Read more »

From The Island University news: Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Researcher Shares Renewable Energy Expertise at International Fiery Ice Workshop CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – An Island University professor recently returned from India where he coordinated and co-organized the 2014 Fiery Ice, 9th International Methane Hydrate R&D Workshop.

Leaders of Strategic Carbon, LLC are technical experts in interpretation of deep sediment petroleum deposits and environmental assessments through analysis of the geochemical, geophysical, and biological characteristics of shallow sediments. In shallow sediments above petroleum deposits, vertical fluid and gas diffusion and advection are important indicators of these reserve locations.  Basic biogeochemical parameters in shallow sediment profiles around drilling and exploration areas can also be used… Read more »

Strategic Carbon met with geohazard specialists at Shell International Exploration and Production (www.shell.us) in Houston, Texas. An initial discussion and presentation focused on SC’s ability to apply geochemical assessment of mining system platform stability and environmental impacts. A November meeting is planned to further discuss application of the SC approach for geochemical surveys. SC also met in October with geological and geochemical experts at Anadarko (www.anadarko.com)… Read more »

Strategic Carbon-developed plans for the exploration of methane hydrate resources off the south coast of China led to a series of meetings with senior management and technical experts from the Chinese National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) (www.cnoocltd.com), one of the world’s 50 largest oil companies. The initial meeting was held in Anchorage, Alaska with SC Founder Dr. Richard Coffin and included an organizing representative ShuQi Zhang… Read more »
