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.

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. -
This paper proposes a data-driven proxy model to effectively forecast the production of horizontal wells with complex fracture networks in shales.

This paper describes natural fractures and their effect on hydrocarbon productivity in the Vaca Muerta shale formation.
-
The authors of this paper describe a solution using machine-learning techniques to predict sandstone distribution and, to some extent, automate the process of optimizing well placement.
-
The seismic and well data investigation tool integrates work flows to provide a consistent analysis of reservoirs.
-
In Part 2 of a series of articles, the author focuses on generating a connection between the problem types and various methods of trying to solve these problems.
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been used in geological survey methods for many years. Gaining insight into the scale and trends of this implementation could assist surveyors in making informed decisions about buying or developing new technologies.
-
This paper describes the building of a geomechanical model for an offshore field that integrated drilling, geology, petrophysics, and reservoir data to play a major role in the drillability and deliverability of the reservoir.
-
The authors of this paper present an approach integrating characterization of paleo zones, parameterization of paleo-zone conductivity, and application of flow profiles in a history-matching study of a dual-porosity/dual-permeability model.
