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.

In the life cycle of a field, from exploration and production to development, as we hone our knowledge to understand the reservoir, we often explore various subdomains of formation evaluation at various scales. In this issue, we explore three such subdomains at three different scales. -
The authors of this paper describe an approach that combined active and passive near-field hydrophone measurements in a complex near-surface area offshore Abu Dhabi.

Large geological models are needed for modeling the subsurface processes in geothermal, carbon-storage, and hydrocarbon reservoirs. The size of these models contributes to the computational cost of history matching, engineering optimization, and forecasting. To reduce this cost, low-dimensional representations need to be extracted. Deep-learning tools, such as autoenc…
