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...
KFU’s Laboratory of Catalytic Aquathermolysis continues its research in in-situ oil refining. In June of this year, a catalyst precursor was tested at the same oilfield. The observations showed its efficiency for heavy oil reservoirs. On 16 August, a pilot field test was held on commission from RITEK LLC. “Aquathermolysis catalysts function in the porous medium of...
