Fracture Characterization: Investigating the distribution, orientation, and properties of fractures within reservoir rocks to assess their impact on fluid flow and reservoir performance.

Geochemistry: Studying the chemical composition and reactions of rocks and fluids in the subsurface to understand geological processes and assess reservoir quality and fluid properties.

Geomechanics: Analyzing the mechanical behavior of subsurface rock formations to assess their stability, deformation, and response to geological and engineering processes, including hydraulic fracturing and reservoir stimulation.
