72 results about "Kerogen" patented technology

Kerogen is solid, insoluble organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Consisting of an estimated 10¹⁶ tons of carbon, it is the most abundant source of organic compounds on earth, exceeding the total organic content of living matter by 10,000 fold. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents and it does not have a specific chemical formula. Upon heating, kerogen converts in part to liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas form from kerogen. Kerogen may be classified by its origin: lacustrine (e.g., algal), marine (e.g., planktonic), and terrestrial (e.g., pollen and spores). The name "kerogen" was introduced by the Scottish organic chemist Alexander Crum Brown in 1906, derived from the Greek for "wax birth" (Greek: κηρός "wax" and -gen, γένεση "birth").

An inversion-assisted shale petrophysical modeling method considering clay-kerogen stratification and pore complexity

This invention proposes an inversion-assisted shale petrophysical modeling method that considers the complexity of clay-kerogen stratification and pore structure. Pores are divided into isolated microfractures (related only to clay and kerogen) and connected pores (developed in various minerals), and the proportion of connected pores is introduced to balance the influence of these two types of pores. A stratification index is introduced to describe the degree of particle orientation. A modeling process is established based on inclusion theory and the Brown-Korringa model. Three important auxiliary parameters, including the stratification index, the proportion of connected pores, and the aspect ratio of connected pores, are estimated by comparing the errors between predicted elastic parameters and actual well logging data in conjunction with the inversion. The inversion results are used to correct the established petrophysical model, making it more consistent with reality and improving the prediction accuracy of shale rock elasticity and anisotropy parameters.
