Reservoir characterization
Rock sample characterization, widely used in hydrocarbon exploration and production, is emerging as a critical tool for understanding and optimizing subsurface mineral extraction through in-situ leaching.
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.

The two companies have teamed up in an attempt to cut downhole costs with a project that aims to extract more information from reduced data-acquisition programs. -
This study describes application of the iterative ensemble Kalman smoother application to a low-permeability coalbed methane field in Australia.
-
This work evaluates and compares the performance of rate normalization and pressure deconvolution for both synthetic and tight-oil examples.
-
The authors describe an approach to achieve reliable estimation of field gas initially in place.

The COVID-19 pandemic naturally has affected SPE meetings, causing many to be rescheduled or postponed indefinitely, but SPE papers continue to be a crucial source of technical knowledge. The selected papers explore simple and complex innovative approaches toward reservoir characterization to work around the absence of certain data.
-
The authors describe an integrated multiscale data methodology involving machine-leaning tools applied to the Late Jurassic Upper Jubaila formation outcrop data.
-
The authors develop a collocated finite-volume method to study induced seismicity as a result of pore-pressure fluctuations.
-
This paper describes the application of a synthetic seismic-catalog-generation method followed by application of a neural network on a seismic data set for an oil-producing field in the North Sea.
-
This paper describes an integrated work flow developed for 3D seismic reservoir characterization of deep and thin layers without sufficient well data in a South China Sea formation.
-
The author writes that careful calibration of a common, simple rock physics model can provide valuable insights into reservoir and seal elastic properties.
