    摘要: Method of determining the compositional evolution of fluids present in a porous medium as a result of biodegradation.A biodegradation compositional scheme is defined from twelve chemical classes allowing the hydrocarbons and the gases resulting from biodegradation to be described. The initial amount of each one of these chemical classes contained in the fluids before biodegradation is determined. A reaction scheme is then defined for biodegradation, wherein the chemical classes react with electron acceptors according to parallel reactions having different velocities, and each class reacts with these acceptors according to sequential reactions. The biodegradation reaction velocities are determined for each class. The composition of the fluids is then deduced by assessing the amount of each chemical class by applying the reaction scheme. The composition of the biodegraded hydrocarbons, as well as the amount of acid gas and of methane produced, are notably deduced.Application: notably petroleum reservoir development.

    摘要: Method of evaluating the biodegradation, through the action of a bacterial population, of hydrocarbons trapped in a geologic structure. The mass of hydrocarbons present in said structure is determined without taking account of the biodegradation, from data relative to the physical and geometrical characteristics of the structure studied. Then the mass of hydrocarbons consumed by biodegradation is calculated after evaluating the number of bacteria, their hydrocarbon consumption and the structure filling time. The mass percentage of oil disappeared through the bacterial action is deduced from these two masses. Application: determination of the composition of oils in a reservoir and notably location of heavy oils. The method can notably be applied to the evaluation of the economic risk linked with the presence of biodegraded petroleum reservoirs.

    摘要: Geomicrobiological exploration method employing one or more culture, luminometry or tritiated thymidine assays of microbes (bacteria) for sensitivity, determined as survival rate in percentage, of the microbes to selected toxic materials, preferably heavy metals and/or hydrocarbons. The survival assay values are plotted as contours on a geophysical map and target areas of potential interest are identified and further evaluated by inspection or other techniques. Examples show actual use of the techniques to identify a target area in a raw prospect petroleum lease area which was drilled to successful oil discovery thus proving the method. Sensitivity test incubation ranges from 1-3 hours (preferably 2 hours) for heavy metals at 20-25 degrees C., and 3-10 min. for pentene/hexane at 15-20 degrees C. Luminometry is fastest, being run in 1.5-30 minutes and most suitable for field surveys. Toxics concentrations may range from 0.001 ug/ml to 15,000 ug/ml for heavy metals to 0.001-25 vol % for hydrocarbons.
