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.

Technology that allows researchers to see stress forming inside rock samples may help unravel some of the mysteries associated with fracture behavior. -
The authors used a high-quality digital-log data set to characterize reservoir quality accurately in the Niobrara and Codell Formations in the Denver-Julesberg (DJ) Basin.

Three-dimensional reservoir models are best created with a combination of well logs and 3D-seismic data. However, the effective integration of these results is not easy because of limited seismic resolution.

The paper discusses an approach for predicting the lateral variation of net to gross (NTG) by use of 3D probabilistic seismic inversion.
-
The objective of this study is to validate the concept of using a seismically derived discrete fracture network (DFN) calibrated with borehole measurements, for complex-hydraulic-fracture modeling.
