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.

Fluid saturation isn't what it used to be when it comes to unconventional reservoirs. Our guest is among those sharing new research to discuss the shale sector’s changing perspectives on the importance of mobile hydrocarbons vs. immobile hydrocarbons.
-
Knowing which horizon crude oil flows from and in what proportions has been a major challenge for shale producers. Increasingly, they are turning to new technology to find the answer.

The types of advancements made in real-time drilling data acquisition and processing are now on the doorstep of the North American completions sector. Technology developers are banding together under the umbrella of “coopetition” in a bid to change the way producers fracture tight reservoirs.
-
Applications development in reservoir geomechanics has grown exponentially in recent years, taking advantage of significant computer breakthroughs. Data integration and multidisciplinary strategies are key to advancing integrated reservoir geomechanics capabilities.
