Reservoir
Imaging carbonate rocks at high resolution without losing scale has long been a challenge. A novel framework is introduced that enables accurate super-resolution and extrapolation of carbonate rock images, enhancing micro-CT images while preserving mineralogical and topological features for more reliable pore-scale analysis and flow simulations.
As Egypt’s largest oil and gas investor, Eni is ramping up its 2026–2027 drilling campaign with new investments cross the Mediterranean offshore, Nile Delta, Western Desert, and offshore Sinai to strengthen the country’s role as a regional gas and LNG export hub.
The industry is no longer short of measurements; the real challenge is converting them into timely reservoir decisions that protect value. That challenge is becoming more urgent as the industry depends increasingly on mature fields and existing infrastructure. The selected papers show how this need is being addressed across different producing regions.
