    摘要: Method and device for evaluating, simultaneously and with a single equipment, physical parameters such as the absolute permeability and the porosity of fragments taken from a fragmented artificial or natural porous medium.The porosity of the fragments is measured by means of pressure tests using helium or any other gas, according to a protocol known in the art. Chamber (1) in which they are contained is communicated with a tank (11) of known volume containing helium at a known pressure. At pressure balance, the value of the solid volume can be deduced. The rock envelope volume and the mass in fragments are also measured. The porosity of the samples and the density of the rock are determined by combining these measurements. Their permeability is then measured by immersing them in a liquid and by communicating the chamber with a liquid initially at a predetermined pressure contained in an accumulator (9) so as to compress the gas trapped in the pores of the rock. The values of the physical parameters are determined by modelling the evolution of the volume of liquid injected in the chamber and by means of an iterative adjustment.Applications: petrophysical measurements from drill cuttings or crushed cores for example.

    摘要: System of evaluating physical parameters such as the absolute permeability of porous rocks of a zone of an underground reservoir, from fragments taken from this zone, such as rock cuttings carried along by the drilling mud. Rock fragments (F) are immersed in a viscous fluid contained in a vessel (1). Pumping means (2, 3) first inject into vessel (1) a fluid under a pressure that increases with time, up to a determined pressure threshold, so as to compress the gas trapped in the pores of the rock. This injection stage is followed by a relaxation stage with injection stop. The pressure variation measured by detectors (7, 8) during these two successive stages is recorded by a computer (9). The evolution of the pressure during the injection process being modelled from initial values selected for the physical parameters of the fragments, the computer adjusts them iteratively so as to best get the modelled pressure curve to coincide with the pressure curve really measured. Application: petrophysical measurement.

    摘要: A method of evaluating the capillary pressure curve of rocks of an underground reservoir from measurements on rock debris or fragments such as cuttings from the reservoir, over the total saturation range of these rocks, within a short period and at a low cost, from these measurements is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the permeability k of the debris, measuring the capillary pressure curve Pc as a function of the saturation of these fragments initially saturated with a fluid (brine for example) by subjecting them to centrifugation, and parametrizing a capillary pressure curve Pc satisfying empirical relations depending on adjustable parameters, constrained to adjust to an asymptotic part of the capillary curve measured by centrifugation, and to the value of permeability k measured on the cuttings, so as to obtain the whole of the capillary pressure curve. Applications include hydrocarbon reservoir evaluation.

    摘要: A method with application for evaluation or production of a reservoir for determining multiphase flow parameters of a porous medium such as a rock, from the interpretation of displacement experiments. From an injection experiment on a rock sample, the saturation profiles are measured in different sections of the sample. The experimental data are then subjected to a preliminary interpretation by means of a numerical simulation code allowing production of simulated pressure profiles. These profiles are then combined with the measured saturation profiles so as to evaluate the local properties of the sample in terms of capillary pressure. These properties are then re-injected into the simulator as input data so as to finely interpret the flow parameters while respecting the evolutions of the differential pressure, of the displaced fluid production and of the saturation profiles.

    摘要: Method and device for evaluating simultaneously, with the same equipment, physical parameters such as the absolute permeability and the porosity of fragments taken from a fragmented natural or artificial porous medium The porosity of the fragments is measured by means of helium pressure tests according to a protocol known in the art. The chamber (1) containing the fragments is communicated with a tank (11) whose volume is also known and containing helium at a known pressure. At pressure balance, the value of the solid volume can be deduced. The rock envelope volume and the fragments mass are also measured. Combining these measurements allows to determine the porosity of the samples and the density of the rock. Their permeability is then measured by immersing them in a viscous fluid and by communicating the chamber with viscous fluid at a determined pressure contained in a vessel (9) so as to compress the gas trapped in the pores of the rock, according to two different protocols.

    摘要: Method of determining the permeability of an underground medium from NMR logs of the permeability of rock fragments from the medium, based on prior calibration of the permeability resulting from this measurements, from direct measurement on rock fragments, such as cuttings for example. The method mainly comprises measuring permeability (k) from rock fragments, measuring the signal produced by a device allowing NMR analysis of the rock fragments previously saturated with a protonated liquid (brine for example), obtaining optimum values for the parameters of a relation giving the permeability as a function of the NMR signal, and applying this relation to the well zones that have already been subjected to NMR logging but for which no direct permeability measurements are available. One example of one of the applications for the present invention is the evaluation of a hydrocarbon reservoir.
