    摘要: A system and a method may determine formation strength of a well. The system and the method may use pressure measurements and temperature measurements to determine controlled fracture pressures before the uncontrolled fracture pressure is reached. The system and the method may use pressure measurements and temperature measurements to determine closure stresses while drilling and may use the closure stresses with core and log measurements to optimize a hydraulic stimulation program.

    摘要: A method for visualizing parametric logging data includes interpreting logging data sets, each logging data set corresponding to a distinct value of a progression parameter, calculating a geometric image including a representation of data from each of the logging data sets corresponding to a wellbore measured depth, and displaying the geometric image(s) at a position along a well trajectory corresponding to the wellbore measured depth. The progression parameter includes time, a resistivity measurement depth, differing tool modes that are sampling different volumes of investigation, and/or sampling different physical properties. The geometric images include a number of parallel lines having lengths determined according to the logging data and/or an azimuthal projection of the logging data, a number of concentric axial projections, and/or shapelets determined from parallel lines and/or concentric axial projections. The method includes dynamically determining a selected measured depth, measured depth interval, and/or azimuthal projection angle.

    摘要: In drilling a well, a condition at the surface which contributes to a downhole condition is identified. A set of observed measurements is collected for the surface and downhole conditions. From this set of observations a predictor equation is derived which expresses the downhole condition as a function of the measured surface condition. After the predictor equation has been developed, it is applied to a measured surface condition to estimate the resulting downhole condition.

    摘要: To optimize the drilling of a borehole with a positive displacement downhole mud motor which rotates a drill bit, the hydraulic power input to the motor and the mechanical power output of the motor are calculated based upon measurements of weight-on-bit (WOB), torque, bit rotational speed and pressure drop across the motor. These input and output values are plotted versus one another to produce a characteristic curve which indicates the maximum achievable power output of the motor. The values used by the driller are compared to such maximum to enable adjustment of WOB such that drilling at maximum efficiency for a given lithology can be achieved. Other important information such as optimum standpipe pressure and operating efficiency and wear of the motor also are determined.

    摘要: Downhole drilling fluid measurements are made as a function of time or as a function of depth. A change in the downhole drilling fluid measurements is correlated to a feature of a formation penetrated by a drill bit or to a feature of fluids in the formation. The downhole drilling fluid measurements may include density, photoelectric factor, hydrogen index, salinity, thermal neutron capture cross section (Sigma), resistivity, slowness, slowing down time, sound velocity, and elemental composition. The feature may include fluid balance, hole-cleaning, a kick, a shallow water flow, a formation fluid property, formation fluid typing, geosteering, geostopping, or an environmental correction. A downhole system has a measurement-while-drilling tool or a logging-while-drilling tool and a processor capable of obtaining the downhole drilling fluid measurements and correlating the change in the downhole drilling fluid measurements.
