7 results about "Petrophysics" patented technology

Petrophysics (from the Greek πέτρα, petra, "rock" and φύσις, physis, "nature") is the study of physical and chemical rock properties and their interactions with fluids. A major application of petrophysics is in studying reservoirs for the hydrocarbon industry. Petrophysicists are employed to help reservoir engineers and geoscientists understand the rock properties of the reservoir, particularly how pores in the subsurface are interconnected, controlling the accumulation and migration of hydrocarbons. Some of the key properties studied in petrophysics are lithology, porosity, water saturation, permeability and density. A key aspect of petrophysics is measuring and evaluating these rock properties by acquiring well log measurements – in which a string of measurement tools are inserted in the borehole, core measurements – in which rock samples are retrieved from subsurface, and seismic measurements. These studies are then combined with geological and geophysical studies and reservoir engineering to give a complete picture of the reservoir.

A method for predicting hydrocarbon source rock of Yuer Tusi group in Tarim basin

This invention discloses a method for predicting the thickness of source rocks in the Yuertusu Formation of the Tarim Basin. The method involves: S1: Selecting typical wells to determine the lithology and physical properties of the source rocks and their surrounding rocks; S2: Establishing a geological model of source rocks with varying thickness; S3: Performing forward modeling to synthesize seismic profiles; S4: Constructing a quantitative relationship between forward modeling reflection amplitude and source rock thickness; S5: Extracting and normalizing the actual reflection amplitude; and S6: Calculating the source rock thickness. This invention, based on rock physics and combining well and seismic data, predicts the thickness of source rock layers based on the reflection amplitude at the bottom interface of the Yuertusu Formation, offering greater objectivity than conventional methods. This invention can provide thickness distribution information of the Yuertusu Formation source rocks for pre-salt oil and gas exploration in various target areas within the northern Tarim Platform, and also provides a methodological means to solve the problem of predicting thin source rocks in the Tarim Basin.

Method for increasing the resolution of image logs in real time

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for real-time resolution enhancement of image logs during oil well drilling. The method is an AI model that increases the resolution of image logs in real time, during drilling, which allows the identification of geological structures such as faults and fractures even before the drill bit is removed from the well. It allows a better choice of the ranges that will be isolated during well completion. The invention can be applied to all drilled wells, wherein it is chosen to acquire image logs during drilling and it was developed to increase the resolution of fractured ranges or those with the presence of faults, but can be used by petrophysicists to perform a rapid interpretation of all identifiable geological structures.

Drilling process methods and systems for drilling are described. The methods include performing a drilling operation through a downhole formation, the drilling operation generating drilling cuttings. A single drilling cuttings sample is obtained at a surface-based location. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and / or x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis are performed on the single drilling cuttings sample. Element information and mineral information of the single drilling cuttings sample is obtained from the XRF analysis regarding the downhole formation. From the obtained information, a determination of at least one rock petrophysics property of the downhole formation is made.
