Reservoir characterization
Data and impartial viewpoints can help de-risk exploration portfolios and keep resource estimates in check.
Geophysicist Markos Sourial discusses advances in seismic imaging, the challenges of modern data processing, and what they mean for the next wave of subsurface professionals.
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.
-
The authors of this paper describe an approach in which all available technologies are combined to improve understanding of reservoir depositional environments. -
The authors of this paper describe a project aimed at automating the task of cuttings descriptions with machine-learning and artificial-intelligence techniques, in terms of both lithology identification and quantitative estimation of lithology abundances.
-
AIQ, ADNOC, and SLB announced a new software suite that integrates artificial intelligence into reservoir analysis and field development projects.
-
The project aims to reimage a 6,400-km2 seismic data set near the recently discovered Baleine field.
-
This paper sheds light on newer frontiers of tracer applications with unconventional uses to gain flow insights from an oil and gas reservoir.
-
This paper presents a comprehensive technical review of applications of distributed acoustic sensing.
-
The authors of this paper describe a technology built on a causation-based artificial intelligence framework designed to forewarn complex, hard-to-detect state changes in chemical, biological, and geological systems.
-
Decades of experience injecting fluids into the ground has revealed a fundamental truth: No two injection sites are the same. A thorough understanding of site-specific conditions is essential to ensure safe and secure long-term subsurface disposal of carbon dioxide.

The authors of this paper describe the characterization of fractures in the Mesozoic sandstones of the Phra Wihan Formation exposed at the southern part of Uttaradit Province in Thailand.
-
This paper proposes a multidomain approach to tackle petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of a fracture system governing the carbonate layer of an exploration well in Kuwait to assess producibility and qualification for stimulation.
