A joint paper by KFU, University of Zanjan (Iran), and Bochum University of Applied Sciences appeared in Acta Geophysica. The introduction of machine learning reduces the limitations arising from tomographic imaging of rock samples: it becomes possible to improve the detail of sufficiently large samples, which in the future may contribute to the direct validation of numerical modeling...
Center for Liquid Hydrocarbons submitted a new paper to Geoenergy Science and Engineering. The search for a solution to the problem of representativeness of core material sizes, on which pore space structure studies, filtration characteristics measurement, and chemical studies are carried out, has been going on for several decades. The most widespread today is the deterministic approach,...

A new paper appeared in Fuel. “Gas hydrates are solid crystalline substances resembling ice and consisting of gas and water molecules. Under conditions of high pressure and low temperature, gas molecules are contained within the cavities of the frameworks formed by water molecules. One volume of hydrate can hold about 160 volumes of gas. A promising method...
