    摘要: A method for estimating a value of a kerogen property in a subsurface formation where the value of the kerogen property is unknown. The method includes: measuring spectral intensity values over an infrared (IR) spectral range for a selected sample from the subsurface formation; determining a range of values representing the measured spectral intensity values corresponding to a vibrational mode attributable to kerogen in the selected sample, the range of values including values representing uncertainty in the measured spectral intensity over the portion of the spectral range; and inputting values from the range of values into a stochastic or simple regression model to determine an estimated value of the kerogen property in the selected sample.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for fugitive emission detection. In some embodiments, the method can include planning and performing aerial inspections of a plurality of structures within one or more facilities by determining a flight path for a scanning of fugitive emissions from a plurality of structures within one or more facilities. The flight path can cover a set of structure clusters that can be serviced by a base. The method can also include using a computer-implemented clustering method to identify the set of structure clusters that can be serviced by the respective base. The clustering method can be a hierarchical multilevel clustering method. The method can also include scanning the plurality of structures for fugitive emissions using an airborne sensor. The airborne sensor can be mounted to a flight vehicle launched from the base. The method can also include classifying the plurality of structures based on results of the scanning.

    摘要: Various implementations directed to the integration of seismic data with downhole fluid analysis to predict the location of heavy hydrocarbon are provided. In one implementation, a method may include receiving seismic data for a hydrocarbon reservoir of interest. The method may also include identifying geological features associated with a secondary gas charge from the seismic data. The method may further include determining the proximity of the geological features to the hydrocarbon reservoir of interest. The method may additionally include receiving preliminary downhole fluid analysis (DFA) data from formations at or near the hydrocarbon reservoir of interest. The method may further include analyzing the preliminary DFA data to determine the equilibrium state of the hydrocarbon reservoir and to confirm the secondary gas charge in the hydrocarbon reservoir. The method may also include determining whether to perform one or more additional DFA's.
