Geophysical Exploration for Hydrocarbon Reservoirs, Geothermal Energy, and Carbon Storage, Gebunden

Klappentext

A practical guide to the latest technologies and techniques in subsurface energy exploration In Geophysical Exploration for Hydrocarbon Reservoirs, Geothermal Energy, and Carbon Storage: New Technologies and AI-based Approaches, distinguished researcher Said Gaci delivers a practice-oriented overview and comparison of the concepts, methods, and workflows for the geophysical characterization of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs, including those reservoirs suitable for large-scale carbon sequestration. Organized into four parts, the book begins with a summary of novel petroleum exploration technologies and discussions of illustrative case studies from around the world. It then explains how to integrate seismic and other non-invasive surveying methods for a comprehensive multiscale reservoir characterization. The third part explores the implementation of artificial intelligence tools in remote exploration, rock typing, and fluid prediction. The final part demonstrates how to apply hydrocarbon exploration methods to the exploration and development of geothermal reservoirs and underground carbon dioxide storage sites. Readers will find: A multidisciplinary approach to combining conventional hydrocarbon exploration techniques with the power of artificial intelligenceA thorough understanding of subsurface reservoir systems that links recent technical advances with new geological insightsPractice-oriented discussions of advanced technologies for non-invasive reservoir characterizationSelected case studies that illustrate the application of novel concepts in a real-world setting Perfect for geologists, geoengineers, geophysicists, and fossil fuel professionals, Geophysical Exploration for Hydrocarbon Reservoirs, Geothermal Energy, and Carbon Storage will also benefit anyone aiming to remain at the forefront of subsurface energy exploration in the twenty-first century.
