First Break publishes top-quality submitted and commissioned research articles, together with news, monthly topics, industry features and company profiles.
First Break is the leading publication in Europe serving the geoscience and engineering community. While the main emphasis is on the oil and gas E&P industry, reflecting the membership of the EAGE, the magazine increasingly includes coverage of important related areas, such as environmental geoscience and mining. As a result First Break has a circulation that extends well beyond the membership of the EAGE and is read worldwide as an authoritative source of relevant news, features, analysis and accessible technical information. Since 1983, First Break has been the publication of choice for many decision-makers and specifiers in geoscience-related organizations, and is considered an ideal advertising medium to reach a focused audience in Europe and further afield.
First Break is published monthly.

103 | Reserves estimation methods for prospect evaluation with 3D CSEM data
Daniel Baltar and Friedrich Roth explain how 3D controlled-source electromagnetic data can reduce volumetric uncertainty in the reserves estimates process of prospect evaluation.
113 | Rock Physics workflow including application of the Xu-Payne multi-porosity model on chalk reservoirs on the western platform, UK North Sea
D.M. Hammond and S.S. Payne present an application of the new Xu-Payne model, which classifies carbonate rocks as dual porosity systems, to investigate the fluid effects within the chalk play of the Central Graben for quantitative seismic interpretation. The model was calibrated using log data from three wells on the western platform of the UK North Sea.

Fabrice Mandroux, Beng S. Ong, Chu-Ong Ting, Sabaresan Mothi, Tony Huang and Yunfeng Li describe the first use of a staggered vessel configuration in the Gulf of Mexico to improve imaging of challenging geological structures.
135 | Frontier exploration offshore the Zambezi Delta, Mozambique
Marjosbet Uzcategui Salazar, David Baker, Malcolm Francis, Duplo Kornpihl and Tekena West present the results of a study into the hydrocarbon potential of the offshore Zambezi Delta area of Mozambique.
147 | Improving safety performance in geophysical operations: one major operator's journey
Ian M. Threadgold, T. Richard Seaborne, Neil Cave and David J. Harrison describe a 13-year journey by a major oil and gas operator in pursuit of consistent excellence in health, safety, and environmental (HSE) performance across its worldwide geophysical operations.
155 | Towed streamer EM: the challenges of sensitivity and anisotropy
Johan Mattsson, Folke Engelmark and Chris Anderson reflect on some of the ongoing issues in the improvement of the newly launched towed streamer EM survey technology.

169 | Earth disciplines. cognitive sciences and the epistemology of complexity
In his new book for EAGE Publications, Paolo Dell'Aversana argues that the geo-sciences can contribute to illuminate some unsolved problems of epistemology and cognition. Conversely, epistemology and cognitive sciences can inspire approaches and solutions for practical problems in the Earth sciences. Some of the concepts are summarized in this introduction.
