Data-driven artificial intelligence, such as deep learning and reinforcement learning, possesses powerful data analysis capabilities. These techniques enable the statistical and probabilistic analysis ...

Abstract W4 block of Sichuan Basin is a pioneer in shale gas exploration and development in China. But geophysical prospecting is just at its beginning and thus has not provided enough information ...

Quality-assurance procedures can lessen the uncertainties inherent in core and log data. Elimination of these uncertainties will help optimize the development of oil and gas fields.1 Uncertainty means ...

Focused overview of how open-hole and cased-hole wireline logs quantify rock and fluid properties to define net pay, contacts, fluids, and deliverables for reservoir development decisions. 2.1.1 ...

Reservoir simulation is a cornerstone in field development planning. It uses mathematical and physics-based formulations describing fluid flow behavior in reservoirs. Reservoir simulation tracks ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Data-logging equipment for monitoring and recording events isn’t new. In fact, various forms of it date back decades ...

At-a-Glance: Wireline logging for reservoir evaluation is a tightly sequenced operation: plan, condition the hole, rig-up, calibrate, run, acquire/QC, repeat for depth control, perform quick-look ...
