Abstract:
Hybrid 3D geocellular grids are generated to represent a subset of a natural fracture network (“NFN”) directly in the simulation, while the remainder of the NFN is approximated by a multi-continuum formulation.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for correlating gas condensates and wet gases in unconventional shale plays based on an equation of state using a condensate gas-ratio, a separator pressure and a separator temperature.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for generation of in-situ wellbore, core and cuttings information systems. An image and image derivative based property visualization, analysis and enhancement system is provided, which utilizes various types of image data, such as digital rock physics and physical laboratories, petrographic analysis and the in-situ wellbore imaging and derivative products of image segmentation in the construction of a static earth model.
Abstract:
Determining characteristics of a formation. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including determining at least one characteristics of a shale formation. The determining may include: collecting optically interacted electromagnetic radiation from a portion of the shale formation; directing a first portion of the optically interacted electromagnetic radiation from the formation to a first multivariate optical element (MOE), the first MOE creates first modified electromagnetic radiation; applying the first modified electromagnetic radiation to a first detector, the first detector creates a first signal; and determining a first characteristic of the shale formation from the first signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for subsurface secondary and/or tertiary oil recovery optimization based on either a short term, medium term or long term optimization analysis of selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters and/or fields.
Abstract:
A system includes a processing device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processing device to cause the system to perform operations. The operations include generating and running a reservoir simulation model. The reservoir and simulation model includes representative natural fracture or secondary porosity attributes for an area of interest for one or more wells. The operations also include generating a synthetic G-function response using results of the reservoir simulation model. Additionally, the operations include calibrating the synthetic G-function response from the reservoir simulation model to a field G-function response generated using results of a field diagnostic fracture injection test by changing natural fracture characteristics of the reservoir simulation model. Further, the operations include formulating a drilling plan, a completion plan, or both for a wellbore in the area of interest using the synthetic G-function response.
