Transitioning to a low-carbon economy demands large-scale CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage. In this context, the application of AI/ML technology to uncover geochemical, microbial, geomechanical, and hydraulic mechanisms related to storage and solve complicated history-matching and optimization problems, thereby enhancing storage efficiency, has been prominently … -
The authors introduce a novel framework combining dynamic mode decomposition, a data-driven model-reduction technique, with direct data assimilation to streamline the calibration of carbon-dioxide plume evolution models.
-
This paper discusses the concept, applications, and continual evolution of a new 3D temperature and spectral-acoustics modeling and logging approach.
-
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.
-
The authors of this paper describe a study in which performance optimization was demonstrated in thermoplastic sealing systems for oil and gas equipment using 3D printing to manufacture multicomponent composite structures.
-
Few things are more essential to the now global hydraulic fracturing revolution than access to fresh water, yet this dependency use has raised environmental concerns and operational challenges.
-
This paper presents a comprehensive model of geothermal exploitation for depleted deep heavy oil reservoirs through supercritical CO₂ injection.
