1020 results about "Core sample" patented technology

A core sample is a cylindrical section of (usually) a naturally occurring substance. Most core samples are obtained by drilling with special drills into the substance, for example sediment or rock, with a hollow steel tube called a core drill. The hole made for the core sample is called the "core bowling". A variety of core samplers exist to sample different media under different conditions. More continue to be invented on a regular basis. In the coring process, the sample is pushed more or less intact into the tube. Removed from the tube in the laboratory, it is inspected and analyzed by different techniques and equipment depending on the type of data desired.

System and method for extraction of hydrocarbons by in-situ radio frequency heating of carbon bearing geological formations

A method of producing liquid hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-bearing rock in situ in a geological formation begins with exploring the formation by drilling a plurality of boreholes into the formation and taking core samples of the hydrocarbon-bearing rock and at least one overburden layer. Electrical parameters of the hydrocarbon-bearing rock and the overburden layer are determined, as well as a roughness of a boundary between the hydrocarbon-bearing rock and the at least one overburden layer. These electrical parameters are used to construct a computer model of a portion of the hydrocarbon-bearing rock and at least one overburden layer, the computer model based upon modeling the formation as a rough-walled waveguide. This computer model is used to simulate propagation of radio frequency energy within the hydrocarbon-bearing rock, including simulation of radio frequency wave confinement within the hydrocarbon-bearing rock, at several frequencies and temperatures. A frequency for retorting is selected based upon simulation results. Radio frequency couplers are installed into at least one borehole in the hydrocarbon-bearing rock and driven with radio frequency energy to heat the hydrocarbon-bearing rock. As the rock heats, it releases carbon compounds and these are collected.

Coarse-to-fine self-organizing map for automatic electrofacies ordering

A method for ordering electrofacies to assist in identification of mineral deposits is disclosed. Automated ordering of electrofacies allows geologists to draw inferences about the geological settings in which sediment deposit occurred without directly examining core samples or outcrops. The electrofacies order is determined by (a) training a one-dimensional linear self-organizing map to form an initial neural network that includes a plurality of neurons. The number of neurons is small in comparison to the number of electrofacies kernels (i.e., not greater than one-third the number of electrofacies kernels). (b1) A neuron is selected from the initial neural network. In the next step (b2), the processor determines if more than one electrofacies kernel is attached to the neuron. (b3) If more than one electrofacies kernel is attached to the neuron, then the neuron is split into the number of electrofacies kernels attached to the neuron. (c) Steps (b1)-(b3) are repeated until all neurons in the initial neural network have been processed. In the next step, (d) a self-organizing map is trained to form a final neural network using the split neurons in the initial neural network as initial state. (e) Steps (b1)-(d) are repeated if more than one electrofacies kernel is attached to a neuron with the initial neural network equal to the final neural network. In the last step (f), each electrofacies kernel corresponding to a neuron in the final neural network is correlated to an order number.

Method to characterize microfractured hydrocarbon reservoirs by artificially induced anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility

Subterranean hydrocarbon reservoirs are analyzed by characterizing the relative presence and character of microfractures in rock samples from the reservoirs. Core samples are saturated with a suspension of magnetite particles of known concentration. The samples are then subjected to an applied magnetic field of known strength. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, or AMS, of the samples is then observed, providing a measure of grain orientation in the samples. The characteristics of the microfractures in the samples are thus available to characterize the reservoirs, and in particular the contribution of the microfractures to the porosity and permeability of formations in the reservoirs.
