Formation evaluation
As several commercial-scale projects are gearing up in the US, developers expect the next few years to reveal whether lithium extraction from brines can become a big business.
This paper presents a novel approach to predict reservoir porosity by conditioning seismic data, calibrating seismic impedance inversion, and tailoring rock-physics analysis.
Smart Seismic Solutions plans to use 50,000 nodes to examine storage potential for the Greenstore CCS project.

Coalbed methane development can require a large volume of wells, but the costs of logging can be prohibitive, so alternate formation-evaluation solutions are being evaluated. This paper compares state-of-the-art mining logging technology with conventional oil-and-gas approaches. -
Recent experience with a newly introduced sampling-while-drilling service has shown that it is possible to make reliable downhole formation-fluid-property estimates during sampling-while-drilling operations.

Comprehensive formation evaluation is one of the technical focus areas that is fundamental across almost all upstream businesses.

Any oil and gas deal usually involves a data room, where rich seams of proprietary information can be mined for a limited period.
-
The variable data quality of core analysis, the sensitivity of results to different test methods, poor reporting standards, and the reluctance of some vendors to share experience and expertise have contributed to basic mistakes and poor data quality.

When interviewing potential senior-petrophysicist recruits, we exchange pleasantries to break the ice and then I ask an easy, yet fundamental technical question: “How would you explain Archie’s law to an inexperienced colleague?” Then, I sit back in expectation of a slick answer from the candidate. Imagine my surprise when the interviewee takes a sharp intake of breat…

Exploration wells, unconventional plays, and development wells can benefit from NeoScope, a sourceless formation evaluation-while-drilling solution. Two case studies share how the technology mitigates the risks or logistic complications associated with chemical nuclear sources.
