Reservoir characterization
Transitioning to a low-carbon economy demands large-scale CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage. In this context, the application of AI/ML technology to uncover geochemical, microbial, geomechanical, and hydraulic mechanisms related to storage and solve complicated history-matching and optimization problems, thereby enhancing storage efficiency, has been prominently …
This paper discusses the concept, applications, and continual evolution of a new 3D temperature and spectral-acoustics modeling and logging approach.
As reservoir complexity and energy-transition demands grow, the industry is developing new logging technologies, integrating multidisciplinary functions, and conducting new experiments to address new challenges. This Technology Focus highlights three papers from conventional, unconventional, and carbon-storage projects.
