Abstract: A method for determining a relation between an initial saturation and a residual saturation in a first fluid in a porous sample, comprising the following steps saturating a porous sample with a second fluid; measuring a local volume of the second fluid in the porous sample; establishing a steady state profile of a saturation in the first fluid in the porous sample; generating a rise of a capillary ascension flow of the second fluid through the porous sample; during the capillary ascension flow, simultaneously measuring a local volume of the second fluid; and determining the relation between the initial saturation and the residual saturation based on the measured local volume.

Abstract: A gas detector for revealing a target gas includes an image capturing unit with multiple optical channels, an image processing unit and a calculation unit. The image processing unit is adapted for deducing a value of a radiation transmission coefficient which relates to an analysis spectral band, and which is attributable to a quantity of the target gas present in a part of the field-of-view. Preferably multiple analysis bands are used in parallel. The calculation unit is adapted for deducing an evaluation of the quantity of the target gas based on the value of the radiation transmission coefficient which relates to each analysis band. Such a gas detector may have small dimensions, be easily transportable, including on board a drone, and can provide evaluation results for the quantity of the target gas in real-time or nearly real-time.

Abstract: A method for providing a calibrated rock-physics model of a subsoil. First, a geological model of the subsoil comprising a grid made of cells, associated with a rock-physics parameter is obtained. A group of cells forming a calibration body is selected in the grid. The calibration body corresponds to a region of the subsoil having substantially homogenous rock-physics parameter values. Finally, an adjustable constant parameter in a physical equation expressing a relationship between the petro-physical parameter and a petro-elastic parameter in the calibration body is calibrated so as to reduce a mismatch between the petro-elastic parameter estimated using the physical equation and a petro-elastic parameter value determined from inverted seismic data, the calibrated physical equation providing a calibrated rock-physics model of the subsoil in the calibration body.

Abstract: Systems, computer-readable media, and methods are described for performing a reservoir simulation by obtaining reservoir data, obtaining simulation parameters, determining partial differential equations based on the simulation parameters, and performing a timestep of the reservoir simulation based on the reservoir data and the partial differential equations by removing an effect of long coherent structures with high contrasts, such as fractures, faults, high and low permeability channels, or shale layers, from the partial differential equations to generate adapted partial differential equations, and performing an algebraic multiscale method on the adapted partial differential equations to generate an approximated solution. The approximated solution can be used in a subsequent timestep of the reservoir simulation.
