A research group explores how the makeup of rocks, specifically their permeability -- or how easily fluids can flow through them -- affects the frequency and intensity of slow slip events. Slow slips' ...

Researchers have produced the first map of the world outlining the ease of fluid flow through the planet's porous surface rocks and sediments. University of British Columbia researchers have produced ...

Could the days of lengthy physical lab tests of reservoir rock core samples be numbered? Massachusetts-based Exa Corp. recently unveiled new cloud-based reservoir rock permeability software that it ...

A way of measuring well conditions downhole by studying samples of reservoir rocks, core analysis gives the most accurate insight into the porosity and permeability, among other characteristics, of ...

New tools and interpretation techniques provide continuous well permeability profiles without coring or extensive well testing. These profiles obtained from wire line logs are ideally suited for ...

The spectrum of geothermal technologies is quickly evolving. This supplement to POWER’s April 2023 feature, “Startups Are Shaking Up Geothermal Power’s Potential,” briefly explains the differences ...
