    摘要: Well logging method and logging tool for measuring cement density and thickness at different azimuth angles for a cemented, cased well. The method uses a gamma source, a short-spaced detector, a long-spaced detector, and preferably a backscatter detector, where the detector-to-source spacings are designed for calculating (93) thickness and density of the cement annulus (94) from the detector count rates (91).

    摘要: Systems and methods for pressure-cycled stimulation during gravity drainage operations. These systems and methods include increasing a pressure within a stimulation well that extends within a subterranean formation and subsequently decreasing the pressure within the stimulation well to increase production of viscous hydrocarbons from a production well. The systems and methods include repeating the increasing and the decreasing for a plurality of stimulation cycles and producing viscous hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation during the increasing, the decreasing, and the repeating. The increasing may include increasing a reservoir pressure within the subterranean formation to a pressure that is greater than a bubble point pressure of the viscous hydrocarbons, and the decreasing may include decreasing the reservoir pressure to a pressure that is less than the bubble point pressure of the viscous hydrocarbons.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for producing hydrocarbons from reservoirs. A provided method includes drilling a first horizontal well substantially proximate to a base of a reservoir and drilling a second horizontal well at a horizontal offset from the first horizontal well. Fluid communication is established between the first horizontal well and the second horizontal well through cyclic production processes. A mobilizing fluid is injected through the second horizontal well and fluids are produced from the first horizontal well.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for using heavy petroleum fraction as a drive fluid in the recovery of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. The hydrocarbons may be in the form of bitumen or heavy oil. The heavy petroleum fraction may be injected into at least one injection well and hydrocarbons produced out of at least one distinct production well. The heavy petroleum fraction may be co-injected together with steam and/or hot water and/or solvent. The heavy petroleum fraction may be a heavy fraction of a process used to upgrade crude oil, such as a heavy asphaltene fraction produced from solvent deasphalting crude oil produced by this recovery process.

    摘要: Methods for recovering heavy oil are provided. In at least one embodiment, the process includes conditioning a reservoir of interest, then initially producing fluids and particulate solids such as sand to increase reservoir access (“slurry production”). The initial production may generate high permeability channels or wormholes in the formation, which may be used for heavy oil production processes (“hydrocarbon production”) such as cold flow (CHOPS) or enhanced production processes such as SAGD, or VAPEX.

    摘要: Systems and methods for enhancing production of viscous hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. The methods may include heating a hydrocarbon solvent mixture to generate a vapor stream, injecting the vapor stream into the subterranean formation to generate reduced-viscosity hydrocarbons, and producing the reduced-viscosity hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation. The methods also may include selecting a composition of the hydrocarbon solvent mixture by determining a threshold maximum pressure of the subterranean formation, determining a stream temperature at which the vapor stream is to be injected into the subterranean formation, and selecting the composition of the hydrocarbon solvent mixture based upon the stream temperature and the threshold maximum pressure. The systems may include a hydrocarbon production system that may be configured to perform the methods and/or that may include an injection well, an injectant supply assembly, and a production well.
