UK Onshore Geophysical Library is pleased to announce that Dr Malcolm Butler has been awarded the 2024 Geological Society Energy Group Medal for his significant contribution to the success of UKOGL from its initial inception in 1994 to the present day.

Developed in conjunction with Lynx Information Systems, UKOGL has been recognised as providing an ‘easy to use’ online experience enabling access to a continually increasing range of historic geophysical and geological data that it has supplied extensively to academia, industry and the general public over the past 30 years.

The data sought out, verified and archived by UKOGL were originally recorded in the exploration for oil, gas and coal onshore in the UK, but are now being repurposed for academic and commercial research into the development of geothermal energy, long-term storage of nuclear waste, Carbon Capture and Storage and the underground storage of Hydrogen.
