    摘要: A methodology that performs downhole fluid analysis of fluid properties of a reservoir and characterizes the reservoir based upon such downhole fluid analysis. The methodology acquires at least one fluid sample at a respective measurement station and performs downhole fluid analysis to measure properties of the fluid sample, including concentration of a plurality of high molecular weight components. For each of a plurality of type classes corresponding to different subsets of a predetermined set of high molecular weight components, a model is used to predict the concentration of the components of the given type class for the plurality of measurement stations. The predicted concentrations of the high molecular weight components for the plurality of type classes are then compared with corresponding concentrations measured by downhole fluid analysis for the plurality of measurement stations to identify the best matching type class. The results of the comparison are used for reservoir analysis,

    摘要: Estimating and displaying information about the size of molecules within a substance from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) maps and/or logs. Methods include utilizing a relationship between the molecular size (e.g., mean chain length), and either a moment of diffusion or a relaxation distribution, to create a scale on a two-dimensional map. In one case, applying the relationship between the molecular size, and either a moment of diffusion or a relaxation distribution, to one-dimensional diffusion or relaxation distributions for the purpose of estimating the mean chain length of molecules within the substance. In another case, a method includes determining mean chain lengths of molecules within a substance and providing a one-dimensional NMR log showing the mean chain lengths at a plurality of depths. In some cases, the NMR log includes actuatable regions for examining two-dimensional NMR maps or chain length distributions of the substance corresponding with distinct depths of the substance.

    摘要: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) related distribution is estimated that is consistent with NMR measurements and uses linear functionals directly estimated from the measurement indications by integral transforms as constraints in a cost function. The cost function includes indications of the measurement data, Laplace transform elements and the constraints, and a distribution estimation is made by minimizing the cost function. The distribution estimation may be used to find parameters of the sample. Where the sample is a rock or a formation, the parameters may include parameters such as rock permeability and/or hydrocarbon viscosity, bound and free fluid volumes, among others. The parameters may be used in models, equations, or otherwise to act on the sample, such as in recovering hydrocarbons from the formation.

    摘要: Methods and related systems are described for estimating fluid or rock properties from NMR measurements. A modified pulse sequence is provided that can directly provide moments of relaxation-time or diffusion distributions. This pulse sequence can be adapted to the desired moment of relaxation-time or diffusion coefficient. The data from this pulse sequence provides direct estimates of fluid properties such as average chain length and viscosity of a hydrocarbon. In comparison to the uniformly-spaced pulse sequence, these pulse sequences are faster and have a lower error bar in computing the fluid properties.
