摘要:
The highly valuable properties of resistivity and dielectric constant of a geological formation may be determined using an induction measurement, even for a geological formation with bed boundary or dipping effects, using a one-dimensional (1D) formation model. Induction measurements may be obtained in a wellbore through the geological formation using one or more downhole tools. One or more processors may be used to perform an inversion to estimate resistivity and dielectric constant values of the geological formation. The inversion may be performed using the induction measurements and a one-dimensional model that includes a number of geological layers.

Methods may include emplacing a resistivity logging tool in a borehole; stimulating an interval of the formation in the borehole; obtaining at least one resistivity log of the interval of the formation, wherein the resistivity log comprises a survey of one or more depths into the formation; determining a radial invasion of the stimulating fluid into the interval of the formation; and inverting the radial invasion to obtain an input and entering the input into an effective medium model; solving the effective medium model and generating an effective wormhole radius profile and thickness for the interval of the formation.

A method for calibrating an electromagnetic core analysis tool is disclosed. The method includes disposing a tilted test loop inside of or outside of a tool having more than one antenna. A uniform test pack, a layered test pack, and an effective media test pack are each disposed in the tool. A signal is induced in a receiver antenna in the tool when a second antenna is energized with a known current of a known frequency. The induced signal is measured and a calibration gain and offset is determined. A corrected signal is produced and compared with the determined signal based on a forward model.

Methods and apparatus for characterizing a subterranean formation traversed by a wellbore including collecting data from the formation using a tool wherein the tool collects data to form an azimuthal image, characterizing a section of the formation comprising data and images acquired in a high angle wellbore section or horizontal wellbore section using a parametric model, and performing an inversion using apparent densities and volumetric photoelectric factor images to build a formation model wherein the inversion is tailored for high angle wellbore sections and/or horizontal wellbore sections.

A method for evaluating saturation of a kerogen bearing subterranean formation includes obtaining conductivity and permittivity values of the formation and providing an effective medium model relating the conductivity and the permittivity to a water filled porosity of the formation and an effective aspect ratio of graphitic kerogen particulate in the formation. The obtained conductivity and the permittivity values are input into the model which is in turn processed to compute the water filled porosity. The method may further optionally include evaluating the water filled porosity to estimate a hydrocarbon producibility of the formation.

An electromagnetic measurement tool for making multi-frequency, full tensor, complex, electromagnetic measurements includes a triaxial transmitter and a triaxial receiver deployed on a tubular member. An electronic module is configured to obtain electromagnetic measurements at four or more distinct frequencies. The measurement tool may be used for various applications including obtaining a resistivity of sand layers in an alternating shale-sand formation; computing a dielectric permittivity, a conductivity anisotropy, and/or a permittivity anisotropy of a formation sample; and/or identifying formation mineralization including discriminating between pyrite and graphite inclusions and/or computing weight percent graphite and/or pyrite in the formation sample.

A method for estimating equivalent top of fluid level or a theoretical surface annular back pressure in a subterranean wellbore includes acquiring first and second axially spaced pressure measurements in the wellbore. The pressure measurements may then be processed to compute the equivalent top of fluid level and/or theoretical surface annular back pressure of drilling fluid between the measurement locations. A tool string including a large number of axially spaced pressure sensors (e.g., four or more or even six or more) electronically coupled with a surface processor via wired drill pipe may be used to obtain a plurality of values corresponding to various wellbore intervals. The equivalent top of fluid level and/or theoretical surface annular back pressures may be used in automated managed pressure drilling operations.
摘要:
A method for automatic interpretation of bulls-eye and sinusoidal features observed in LWD images is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes an automatic workflow for extracting smooth contours from images that demarcate boundaries of structural features, followed by projection of the contours to three-dimensional (3D) point clouds in the well coordinate system for structural interpretation. The method may characterize both sinusoidal features and bulls-eye features, taking into account variations of formation dip/azimuth, or well inclination/azimuth, on the topology of a structural feature. The disclosed method may be sufficiently fast for use in real-time analysis and interpretation, or to provide constraints for physics-based data inversion processing.
