This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

The authors of this paper describe an approach in which all available technologies are combined to improve understanding of reservoir depositional environments.

The combined firm aims to create a stronger and more diversified geophysical company and energy data provider.

The project aims to reimage a 6,400-km2 seismic data set near the recently discovered Baleine field.

This paper describes an approach implemented by the operator to solve research and development challenges by creating in-house infrastructure of both software and hardware.

This article presents a new data-driven analysis to locate low-frequency seismic sources, referred to as near-infrasound or infrasound sources. Combining these infrasound signals with microseismicity signals allows for better characterization and monitoring of the stimulated reservoir volume.

The authors of this paper write that 4D data are an integral part of a reservoir-management program and, together with geological and production history data, are being used to update reservoir models to further the goals of field development.

The authors of this paper describe the path of an operator’s successful exploration program that has integrated geologic and geophysical understanding and new technology to discover 8 billion BOE at the time of writing.

This year’s titles have a good mix of new frontier exploration, expanding heartlands, and brownfield-development themes. Improved seismic survey techniques, seismic image uplift, enhanced seismic attribute analysis, reservoir characterization, fracture diagnostics, mitigation of induced seismicity, and carbon capture and storage topics also were featured.

The authors of this paper aim to identify the effect of various geologic controls on hydrocarbon maturation in the Delaware Basin by restoring regional cross sections and performing simulations of organic-matter maturity.
