Reservoir characterization
This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of carbon dioxide through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations.
This study integrates physics-based constraints into machine-learning models, thereby improving their predictive accuracy and robustness.
This paper introduces a machine-learning approach that integrates well-logging data to enhance depth selection, thereby increasing the likelihood of obtaining accurate and valuable formation-pressure results.

Petrolern has received a $1.15-million grant from the US Department of Energy to develop and commercialize its technology that models in-situ stresses by using available data. -
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and Equinor have announced the biggest discovery so far this year on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Three wildcat wells drilled in the Blasto prospect near the Fram field confirmed the find and were then permanently plugged and abandoned.

Algorithms are taking over the world, or so we are led to believe, given their growing pervasiveness in multiple fields of human endeavor such as consumer marketing, finance, design and manufacturing, health care, politics, and sports. The focus of this article is to examine where things stand in regard to the application of these techniques for managing subsurface en…

Deciding whether to develop a new discovery is often about the data. Without the correct understanding of the fluids in the reservoir, projects are unlikely to turn out as planned.

An appropriate work flow of combining suitable advanced technologies can help to overcome the long-standing challenges of sub-basalt imaging.

Most of today’s equipment and interpretation methods are indeed not new. After all, well testing has been around for nearly a century, resulting in a legacy that may not always look cutting-edge, but these tried-and-true tools were so technologically remarkable that they became staples.

The work and the provided methodology provide a significant improvement in facies classification.
-
The authors introduce and compare two quality-control approaches based on two different signal-processing practices.

Innovators at the Norwegian oil company have developed a machine-learning model that analyzes mud-gas data to predict the gas/oil ratio of wells as they are drilled—something that the industry has worked for decades to accomplish.
