    • Reservoir geophysics’ contributions to the energy transition and climate change challenge — Introduction 

      He, Zhiliang; Mukerji, Tapan; Grana, Dario; Fu, Liyun; Cao, Danping; e.a. (Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2026-03-09)
      Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 represents one of the key scientific and societal challenges of our time. The energy industry plays a central role in this transition, which requires a rapid shift from ...

    • Revisiting numerical validation of Gassmann’s equations: Open-pore boundary condition 

      Alkhimenkov, Yury (Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2026-04-01)
      Gassmann’s equations are widely used to predict the effective moduli of fluid-saturated rocks from dry properties and basic petrophysical parameters, yet pore-scale validations that explicitly demonstrate numerical convergence ...

    • Full rock anisotropy characterization using laser ultrasonics 

      Mandal, Partha Pratim; Simpson, Jonathan; Sarout, Joel; Kovalyshen, Yevhen; Adam, Ludmila; e.a. (Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2026-02-24)
      Reliable seismic imaging and the estimate of the distribution of subsurface stress depend on the accurate assessment of elastic anisotropy in shaly rock formation. Anisotropy was typically evaluated in the lab with contacting ...
