Abstract: The invention relates to a method of conducting a perf wash cement (“P/W/C”) abandonment job in an offshore oil or gas well annulus, in particular the washing or cementing operation using a rotating head with nozzles dispensing wash fluid or cement at pressure. A new design of bottom hole assembly is proposed in which the cementing tool has a relatively large diameter in order to optimize pressure whilst the wash tool has a relatively small diameter. The wash process, for a number of reasons, appears to be less sensitive to tool diameter and making the wash tool smaller reduces the overall risk of stuck pipe.

Abstract: Robust methods for quantitating the amount of elemental sulfur in a fluid whereby a caustic solution is mixed with the fluid, and the elemental sulfur present in the fluid reacts to form a colored solution that can be compared to a series of standards. The methods can be performed in a laboratory or the field and allow for real time feedback. Once the concentration of the elemental sulfur is known, appropriate methods of treatment can proceed. Test kits for performing the methods in the field are also described.

Abstract: A method of plugging a hydrocarbon well includes deploying a downhole tool to remove at least a portion of a casing at a section of well to be plugged. Then a plugging material is put downhole onto a blocking device to fill an area to be plugged. An exothermic fluid is added, wherein activation of the exothermic material liquefies the plugging material. Allowing the plugging material and the exothermic fluid to solidify form a cast-in-place plug that fills the section of well to be plugged.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reservoir modeling use reservoir simulation and production data to predict future production for one or more wells. The system receives static data of a reservoir or well, receives dynamic data of the reservoir or well, and processes the static data and the dynamic data to generate a reservoir model. For instance, the static data and dynamic data can be used to generate a Voronoi grid, which is used to create a spatio-temporal dataset representing time steps for a focal well and offset wells. The reservoir model can predict reservoir performance, field development, production metrics, and operation metrics. By using one or more Machine Learning (ML) models, the systems disclosed herein can determined reservoir physics in minutes and replicate the physical properties calculated by more complex and computationally intensive reservoir modeling.

Abstract: Systems and method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) well logging use an inversion pulse sequence with a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse sequence to improve spin magnetization calculations. Improved Bloch equation-based calculations consider conditions where a longitudinal relaxation time and a transverse relaxation time of the hydrogen nuclei (e.g., of a subterranean hydrocarbon pool and/or water) are within an order of magnitude of pulse durations for the inversion pulse sequence and the CPMG pulse sequence. Accordingly, an NMR response to the inversion pulse sequence and the CPMG pulse can be detected and used to calculate one or more spin magnetization values with higher accuracy amplitudes. Reservoir characteristics are determined based on the one or more spin magnetization values. As such, improved well operations (e.g., selecting a drilling site, determining a drilling depth, and the like) can be performed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of conducting a perf wash cement (“P/W/C”) abandonment job in an offshore oil or gas well annulus (2), in particular the washing or cementing operation using a rotating head (6, 8) with nozzles (7, 9) dispensing wash fluid or cement at pressure. Certain values of parameters of a washing or cementing job have been found surprisingly to affect the quality of the job, or the degree to which they affect the quality of the job has been unexpected. These include including rotation rate of the tool, the direction of translational movement of the tool, and the volume flow rate and pressure per nozzle of cement or wash fluid (and hence nozzle size).

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for determining surfactant impact on reservoir wettability. In one implementation, a nuclear magnetic resonance T1 measurement of a sample is obtained before surfactant imbibition is applied to the sample, and a second nuclear magnetic T2 measurement of the sample is made after forced imbibition of the surfactant. Moreover, another nuclear magnetic resonance T1 measurement (e.g., omitting surfactant imbibition) can be obtained simultaneously with the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 measurement using a twin core sample. The nuclear magnetic resonance T1 measurement and the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 measurement are captured under simulated reservoir conditions. A fluid typing map is generated using the nuclear magnetic resonance T1 measurement and the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 measurement. An impact of the surfactant on fluid producibility is determined based on the fluid typing map.

Abstract: Systems and method for predicting production decline for a target well include generating a static model and a decline model to generate a well production profile. The static model is generated with supervised machine learning using an input data set including historical production data, and calculates an initial resource production rate for the target well. The decline model is generated with a neural network using the input data and dynamic data (e.g., an input time interval and pressure data of the target well), and calculates a plurality of resource production rates for a plurality of time intervals. The system can perform multiple recursive calculations to calculate the plurality of resource production rates, generating the well production profile. For instance, the predicted resource production rate of a first time interval is used as one of inputs for predicting the resource production rate for a second, subsequent time interval.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a framework to achieve completion optimization for waterflood field reservoirs. The proposed methodology leverages adequate data collection, preprocessing, subject matter expert knowledge-based feature engineering for geological, reservoir and completion inputs, and state-of-the-art machine-learning technologies, to indicate important production drivers, provide sensitivity analysis to quantify the impacts of the completion features, and ultimately achieve completion optimization. In this analytical framework, model-less feature ranking based on mutual information concept and model-dependent sensitivity analyses, in which a variety of machine-learning models are trained and validated, provides comprehensive multi-variant analyses that empower subject-matter experts to make a smarter decision in a timely manner.
