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.

The authors of this paper describe an approach that combined active and passive near-field hydrophone measurements in a complex near-surface area offshore Abu Dhabi.

A successful round of sea trials moved the seismic technology company Blue Ocean Seismic Services closer to operational scaleup and commercial operations of its data-collection network.

The authors of this paper use a pattern-review technique in a complex brownfield as a tool to understand reservoir connectivity and dynamic fluid movements across the field.

Data and service provider Searcher has partnered with Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals to acquire new seismic surveys and reprocess legacy seismic data.

The authors describe an integrated multiscale data methodology involving machine-leaning tools applied to the Late Jurassic Upper Jubaila formation outcrop data.
