Targeting reservoirs below seismic resolution presents a major challenge in reservoir characterization. High-resolution seismic data is critical for imaging the thin gas-bearing Khadro sand facies in several fields within the Lower Indus Basin (LIB). To truly characterize thin beds below tuning thickness, we showcase an optimally developed deep learning technique that can save up to 75% turn-ar…
Lacustrine shale reservoirs present intricate attributes such as the prevalence of lamination, rapid sedimentary phase transitions, and pronounced heterogeneity. These factors introduce substantial challenges in analyzing and comprehending reservoir characteristics. Thin-section imaging offers a direct medium to observe these traits, yet the intrinsic compromise between image resolution and fie…
The current utility of mud gas data is typically limited to geological and petrophysical correlation, formation evaluation, and fluid typing. A critical and comprehensive review of the literature on mud gas data revealed that the mud gas data is abundantly acquired during drilling but not sufficiently utilized in real time. There is the need to leverage the current advances in machine learning …
One important property of oil and gas reservoirs is permeability, which has proven to be difficult to predict. Empirical and regression models are the current industrial practice for predicting permeability due to high cost and time consumption associated with laboratory measurement. In recent times, machine learning algorithms have been employed for the prediction of permeability due to their …
