Formation evaluation
The authors describe the effectiveness of an electromagnetic look-ahead service while drilling in terms of providing accurate formation profiles ahead of the bit to optimize geostopping efficiency.
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…
This study integrates recently developed formation testing with advanced petrophysical logging to address limitations of traditional methods in volcanic breccia formations.

The authors of this paper describe a project aimed at automating the task of cuttings descriptions with machine-learning and artificial-intelligence techniques, in terms of both lithology identification and quantitative estimation of lithology abundances. -
The natural fractures discovered on Mars during rover missions might be so important that they are worth bringing back to Earth.
-
The authors of this paper describe a technology built on a causation-based artificial intelligence framework designed to forewarn complex, hard-to-detect state changes in chemical, biological, and geological systems.

Geochemical parameters such as total organic carbon (TOC) provides valuable information to understand rock organic richness and maturity and, therefore, optimize hydrocarbon exploration. This article presents a novel work flow to predict continuous high-resolution TOC profiles using machine learning.

Building up the world’s hydrogen base will need technological breakthroughs and a lot of new demand. But to store it, the world needs reservoir engineers and other subsurface experts.
-
The authors of this paper present a laboratory-based model to determine the detachment of authigenic and detrital particles in formation damage.
-
The authors of this paper introduce a physics-based method for explicit pore-pressure prediction in naturally fractured shale petroleum reservoirs.
-
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 goal of this paper is to improve the understanding of uncertainties affecting well performance and reservoir connectivity in an offshore Malaysian field.

A critical challenge for those designing carbon dioxide storage sites is predicting where the injected gas will go. One of the only sure bets is to assume that any model of a gas plume that looks symmetrical is likely wrong.
