摘要:
A method, apparatus and system for performing an operation in a borehole is disclosed. A device is disposed in a downhole environment of the borehole to perform the downhole operation. An energy harvesting unit coupled to the device harvests energy from an energy source in a downhole environment of the device and provides the harvested energy to the device to perform the downhole operation.

An apparatus is disclosed for identifying a fluid and locations of the fluid in a formation of shale having porous kerogen material and an inorganic matrix defining pores and micro-fractures. The apparatus includes: a carrier configured to be conveyed through a borehole penetrating the shale; a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool disposed at the carrier and configured to perform NMR measurements on the shale, the NMR measurements include a spectrum of transverse relaxation times; and a processor configured to receive NMR measurements on the shale performed by the NMR tool and to identify the fluid and locations of the fluid in the shale using the spectrum of transverse relaxation times.

A method of estimating at least one property of an earth formation includes: constructing a matrix model of a formation; constructing a shale model of the formation, the shale model including an estimation of a concentration of at least one trace element; combining the first model and the second model to generate a formation model; and comparing measured pulsed neutron data with the mixed model to estimate the at least one property.

A method for estimating a property of an earth formation, the method includes: conveying a carrier through a borehole penetrating the earth formation; irradiating the formation with neutrons from a neutron source disposed at the carrier; detecting a first signal from the formation due to the irradiating using a first radiation detector, the first signal being related to a saturation of a fluid in the formation; detecting a second signal from an element in the formation due to the irradiating using a second radiation detector, the second signal being related to an element emitting the second signal in the formation; and estimating the property from the first signal and the second signal.
摘要:
A method for estimating a parameter of interest of an earth formation having a fluid contained in pores of the earth formation, the method includes: conveying a carrier through a borehole penetrating the earth formation; irradiating the earth formation with neutrons from a neutron source disposed at the carrier; measuring radiation emitted from the earth formation resulting from the irradiating using at least one detector; calculating or determining a mathematical parameter from radiation measured by the at least one detector; predicting values of the mathematical parameter over a range of values of an earth formation property; and comparing the mathematical parameter to the predicted values to estimate the parameter of interest.
摘要:
An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium for estimating a bulk shale volume of an earth formation. In one aspect, measurements are obtained at a plurality of depths in a wellbore penetrating the earth formation and a first distribution is produced of the obtained measurements. A measurement is obtained at a selected depth in the wellbore and a second distribution is produced using the measurement at the selected depth and the measurements obtained at the plurality of depths. A cumulative distribution is produced cumulative of the first distribution and the second distribution. The bulk shale volume is estimated at the selected depth by comparing the cumulative distribution and the second distribution.
