Reservoir
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
This paper presents a novel reservoir engineering/reservoir simulation approach—a data-driven interwell-connectivity model augmented as a digital twin—to predict reservoir dynamics and optimize operations in the Changqing oil field of China.

The authors discuss the development of a deep-learning model to identify errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs. -
The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

Understanding the injected-water preferential paths is a key aspect of waterflood optimization in reservoirs characterized by strong vertical and areal heterogeneities. Devising specific work flows for such applications is important.
-
This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.
