modeling

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of how incorrect estimates of initial reservoir pressure may affect rate-transient analysis in ultralow-permeability reservoirs.

The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.

In this work, novel physics-based models and machine-learning models are presented and compared for estimating permanent-downhole-gauge measurements.

The paper describes a method to match reaction kinetics from coreflooding experiments.

The paper presents key lessons learned in efficiently designing pressure-buildup tests in tight sandstone reservoirs.

This paper provides a comprehensive study for offshore carbon-dioxide (CO2) storage projects, identifying critical elements for estimation, injection, containment, and monitoring of CO2 plumes.

Zachry Industrial highlights the benefits of using advanced modeling to plan the construction to update the $10 billion Golden Pass LNG from an import terminal to an import/export terminal, connecting thousands of project participants during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Broad consensus is forming on the need for a massive expansion in global carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity. But what are the uncertainties, bottlenecks, and opportunities in the subsurface that await CCS planners?

The authors develop a representative geostatistically based 3D model that preserves geological elements and eliminates uncertainty of reservoir properties and volumetric estimates for a Libyan field.
