CJEG INVITES YOU TO SUBMIT A PAPER FOR PUBLICATION IN THE 2026 Canadian Journal of Exploration Geophysics (CJEG) We are pleased to invite contributions for the 2026 issue of the Canadian Journal of Exploration Geophysics (CJEG). CJEG provides a forum for publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific papers that advance the science and application of geophysics. The journal is available to all CSEG members through the CSEG website, and issues become openly accessible to non-members three years after their initial publication. We welcome contributions from industry and academia presenting innovative research, novel methodologies, case studies, reviews, and tutorials that address current challenges [...]

Editorial A special issue of the Canadian Journal of Exploration Geophysics (CJEG) has been published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the CSEG, which was celebrated last month. To mark this milestone, we invited geophysicists across the industry to share their forward-looking perspectives in response to two key questions. The collected responses form the lead article in this commemorative issue. In addition, four feature articles have been included, showcasing innovative research and applied geophysical techniques. The first feature article entitled ‘Early-stage Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage seismic case study in Saskatchewan, Canada’ by Hunt et al., presents a case study [...]

Lee Hunt1, Eric Street1, Graham Hack1, Jason Schweigert2 and Matthew Allen2 1CARBON ALPHA, CALGARY, CANADA; 2BJV DESIGN INC., CALGARY * CORRESPONDING AUTHOR EMAIL ADDRESS: LHUNT@CARBONALPHA.COM ABSTRACT This is part 3 of a 3-paper series describing a new monitoring, measurement, and verification (MMV) method for onshore carbon capture and storage (CCS). The method is called Theseus 24D, and it focusses on reducing unnecessary seismic effort in MMV. Part 1 and 2 of the series focused on the potential capital and environmental benefits that the method might yield, along with a set of technical requirements that would need to be met for [...]

The method is called Theseus 24D, and it focuses on reducing unnecessary seismic effort in MMV. In part 1 of the series, we demonstrated that by altering the inside and outside areas of repeat monitoring 3D surveys and integrating the 2D and 3D schedule, capital savings on the order of [...]

Lee Hunt1, Eric Street1, Graham Hack1, Jason Schweigert2 and Matthew Allen2 1CARBON ALPHA, CALGARY, CANADA; 2BJV DESIGN INC., CALGARY * CORRESPONDING AUTHOR EMAIL ADDRESS: LHUNT@CARBONALPHA.COM ABSTRACT We present a new strategy, which we call Theseus 24D, to increase the capital efficiency of seismic monitoring, measurement, and verification (MMV) plans for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects onshore. Theseus is needed because CCS is currently socially and environmentally desirable but has a discouragingly high capital intensity. Also, the repeat, or time-lapse, seismic elements of CCS bear a material amount of the MMV cost for these projects. MMV rarely endures a critical [...]
