Reservoir characterization
Xu outlines the thinking and theories that led his team to six world-class oil discoveries that total more than 100 million tons of proven geological reserves since 2021.
This case study from SLB and offshore producer PRIO describes the longest openhole section in Latin America with the highest extended-reach drilling ratio in Brazil’s history.
The company says the service is designed to advance geosteering capabilities in complex drilling environments.
-
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision. -
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.
-
The objective of this study is to numerically investigate system behavior when storing H2/natural gas (CH4) mixtures in aquifer-related underground gas storage, and the effect of gas composition and salinity on energy-recovery 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 reveals how production-induced depletion and geomechanical stress changes influence child-well performance in the Midland Basin, combining coupled simulations and machine learning to guide optimal well spacing, timing, and placement for infill development.
-
This paper compares deep transient testing with drillstem testing in a high- and low-permeability gas reservoir, including test-selection implications and best practices.
-
This study integrates recently developed formation testing with advanced petrophysical logging to address limitations of traditional methods in volcanic breccia formations.
-
This Technology Focus highlights three developments in formation evaluation related to measurement, interpretation, and integration.
-
This paper describes the implementation of a one-way wave equation in slowness domain outputting gathers up to Nyquist frequency, which can be used to generate high-resolution seismic sections and amplitude-vs.-offset studies.
-
This paper describes a novel 6.75-in. logging-while-drilling geochemical tool developed for accurate lithology, mineralogy, well-placement, and geosteering applications in complex reservoirs.
