Reservoir characterization
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…

The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows. -
This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.

As we continue to advance the capability in the laboratory environment to test downhole condition measurements experimentally, the tools we are using appear to be bridging the subsurface characterization with the production results. Continued focus on unconventionals is complemented with a renewed focus on conventional research as well.

The paper describes a method to match reaction kinetics from coreflooding experiments.
