..., extensive integrated geological & geophysical (G&G) studies coupled with data analytics were conducted to identify trends from regional down to local scale to have better prediction in reservoir heterogeneity. Making sure no stones left unturned, it is hope that it will lead to replication...

... storage locations requires an understanding of subsurface complexity – for example, lithological heterogeneity, and resulting porosity and permeability variations. These can be calculated using automated and machine learning approaches, alongside numerical forward modeling, ultimately allowing reservoirs...

For the first numerical simulation we find that even after correcting for geometrical spreading the ballistic wave decays due to attenuation. For the second simulation we find that even a localized scattering heterogeneity can...

... Transition zone seismic data are intrinsically complex and can combine, at minimum, the complexity of marine, transition, and land seismic data. This paper presents the imaging results of a highly complex transition zone dataset. It is the industry’s first highly heterogeneous survey in terms...

... of heterogeneity at multiple scales from the core to the reservoir to the basin in the prospective case. Introduction With new characterization techniques being applied to geological reservoir research, they have been revitalized and rejuvenated. For instance, the introduction of CT and SEM technologies from...

... Heterogeneous elastic property variation in the rock formation surrounding a borehole can cause wave scattering in the borehole acoustic waveforms, which in turn can be used to characterize the formation heterogeneities. Considering the elastic wave scattering caused by the variation of the near...

Seismic data in the study area is heavily contaminated...

... and barriers. These fine-scale heterogeneities, while volumetrically insignificant, can have a large impact on fluid flow. We perform flow diagnostics to evaluate and compare models built with our methodology to a set of reservoir models built using conventional techniques. This demonstrates the improved...

... channelization has occurred. The scale of heterogeneity varies inversely with the number of channels present within a delta. Fluvial and tidal deltas exhibit low anisotropy, with the principal direction being perpendicular to the initial shoreline. In contrast, wave deltas exhibit higher anisotropy...

We speculate that 3D heterogeneity caused by karsts plays a secondary role, along with reduced density contrasts. Processing land data brings significant uplift in SNR...

... We develop a novel approach for imaging subsurface lateral heterogeneities using six-component (6C) ambient seismic noise data, which consists of three translational components and three rotational components. We first derive the 6C cross-correlation functions (CCFs) from ambient seismic noise...
