Concern about ¿peak oil¿ has increased the need to explore for new oil reserves. Exploratory drilling is high risk and one way to improve efficiency is by using model predictions of past climates to identify key regions. This proposal is a joint collaboration between GETECH (a petroleum and minerals consultancy) and the University of Bristol. We are seeking proof-of-concept funding (a) for GETECH to prepare palaeogeographic reconstructions for three past time periods, and (b) for the University of Bristol to use these maps to perform state-of-the-art palaeoclimate model simulations. Both GETECH and the University of Bristol will use these results to investigate the accuracy and applicably of the climate models for exploration. If successful, this will lead to commercial products for the oil exploration industry.

对石油峰值的担忧增加了勘探新石油储量的需要。勘探钻探的风险很高，提高效率的一种方法是使用对过去气候的模型预测来确定关键区域。这项提议是Getech(一家石油和矿产咨询公司)和布里斯托尔大学的联合合作。我们正在寻求概念验证资金(A)为Getech准备过去三个时期的古地理重建，以及(B)为布里斯托尔大学使用这些地图进行最先进的古气候模型模拟。Getech和布里斯托尔大学都将利用这些结果来调查气候模型用于探索的准确性和适用性。如果成功，这将为石油勘探行业带来商业产品。
