carbonates

Imaging carbonate rocks at high resolution without losing scale has long been a challenge. A novel framework is introduced that enables accurate super-resolution and extrapolation of carbonate rock images, enhancing micro-CT images while preserving mineralogical and topological features for more reliable pore-scale analysis and flow simulations.

This work applies fuzzy logic, a well-established artificial-intelligence technique, to quantitatively assess connectivity between injectors and producers in a giant presalt field in the Santos Basin of Brazil.

This paper presents a case study of a tool-free fishbone fracture stimulation technology using sand jetting and acidizing in openhole wells, providing a technical solution for low-permeability and complex-lithology carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East.

This paper reviews existing literature, the operator’s records, service-company data, and simulation studies to assess the risk of using seawater in carbonate acidizing.

The paper describes a project in which extremely challenging stimulations were performed in a fractured tight carbonate in a complex strike/slip stress faulting regime with high tectonic stresses.

Hydraulic fracturing holds great potential in the region, but there are several key questions worth asking as efforts move forward.

The paper describes a multientry multistage fracturing technology developed to enable longer laterals, increase stage counts, improve stimulation efficiencies, and derisk operations.

This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention.

This paper describes a novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling geochemical tool developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs.

This paper describes rock-compressibility correlations for carbonated naturally fractured reservoirs in Mexico that considers a range of important geological and dynamic aspects.
