ArXi:2604.13291v1 Announce Type: new Accurate characterization of subsurface heterogeneity is challenging but essential for applications such as reservoir pressure management, geothermal energy extraction and CO$_2$, H$_2$, and wastewater injection operations. This challenge becomes especially acute in extreme pressure events, which are rarely observed but can strongly affect operational risk. Traditional history matching and inversion techniques rely on expensive full-physics simulations, making it infeasible to handle uncertainty and extreme events at scale.
