IntroductionDeveloping offshore deep low-permeability to tight reservoirs faces inconsistent success due to ambiguous reservoir classification and inaccurate production evaluation. This study addresses these issues by analyzing oil wells in the western South China Sea.MethodsThe target reservoir was classified into four types using a flow zone indicator method, and permeability conversion models …

Accurate interpretation of complex fault networks is crucial for ultra-deepwater hydrocarbon exploration, yet traditional towed-streamer (TS) seismic systems frequently fail to image subtle faults due to environmental noise and complex topographies. This study develops an AI-driven fault prediction framework specifically tailored for high-fidelity Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic data. The propose…

Over half of global crude oil and gas production originate from countries openly engaged in major conflicts. We haven't seen such a concentration of output affected by conflicts since World War II. The post The Iran oil shock may be different from other price spikes appeared first on Atlantic Council .

Here's something a little different. The geology I normally am involved with has little to no economic benefit. There are no resources extracted from studying the origin of ancient landscapes or how the Grand Canyon was carved. I recently visited San Antonio, Texas where right now, a modern-day oil boom is underway to the southeast of that proud city. New technology has allowed petroleum companie…
