Reservoir characterization
This study reveals how production-induced depletion and geomechanical stress changes influence child-well performance in the Midland Basin, combining coupled simulations and machine learning to guide optimal well spacing, timing, and placement for infill development.
This study integrates recently developed formation testing with advanced petrophysical logging to address limitations of traditional methods in volcanic breccia formations.
This Technology Focus highlights three developments in formation evaluation related to measurement, interpretation, and integration.
