Edward

Edward is a PhD researcher at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford. His research focuses on geological hydrogen and helium systems — among the least understood yet most promising frontiers in subsurface gas exploration. By developing models that simulate the generation, migration, and accumulation of these gases, his work provides insights that can inform commercial production strategies. In previous industrial collaborations he has repurposed legacy petroleum databases to identify potential hydrogen & helium prospects. His current work seeks to establish the governing first principles behind geological hydrogen generation. At ADIPEC, Edward will present his work and an overview of the University of Oxford’s latest research into geological hydrogen systems.
