摘要: A method for characterizing a subterranean formation is provided that involves obtaining resistivity log data measured by a logging-while-drilling electromagnetic tool operated while drilling a wellbore that traverses the subterranean formation, and calculating at least one of a first data value representing water saturation of the subterranean formation and a second data value representing cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the subterranean formation from the resistivity log data. In embodiments, the method can further involve storing at least one of the first data value and the second data value in computer memory, and/or outputting at least one of the first data value and the second data value as part of a log for well placement, formation evaluation. geological modeling, or reservoir management. The first data value and/or the second data value can also be used for geo-steering the drilling of the wellbore.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for characterizing formation water salinity of subsurface formation using multifrequency permittivity data over a range of frequencies below 1 MHz. The multifrequency permittivity data is processed to determine salinity of formation water contained in the subsurface formation. Other useful formation properties (such as formation water saturation) can be determined based on the formation water salinity.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for clay detection, clay typing, and clay volume quantification using downhole electromagnetic measurements conducted by a downhole logging tool on a formation at a low frequency less than 5000 Hz. The downhole electromagnetic measurements are used to determine permittivity data that characterizes permittivity of the formation at the low frequency less than 5000 Hz. The downhole low frequency electromagnetic measurements are nondestructive, and the results indicate it is with high sensitivity to the existence of clays.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for clay detection, clay typing, and clay volume quantification using electromagnetic measurements on a porous media sample at a low frequency less than 5000 Hz. The electromagnetic measurements are used to determine and store permittivity data that characterizes permittivity of the porous media sample at the low frequency less than 5000 Hz. The low frequency electromagnetic measurements can be performed in a laboratory, at a wellsite or other surface location. The low frequency electromagnetic measurements are nondestructive, and the results indicate that the methods and systems are highly sensitive to the existence of clays.

摘要: A method can include receiving Stoneley wave data acquired by a sonic tool disposed in a borehole in a formation; performing an inversion using the Stoneley wave data to generate formation and borehole information; and identifying an interval along the borehole for performance of a downhole acquisition operation by a downhole tool using a machine learning model and the formation and borehole information as input to the machine learning model.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided that perform sonic measurements in a high-angle wellbore or horizontal wellbore or vertical wellbore penetrating highly dipped formation layers where the formation layers can have a high degree of dip relative to the wellbore. Sonic data can be generated from the sonic measurements and processed using multiple arrival event processing to determine formation porosity, elastic rock properties and geometric information for a tool layer and nearby shoulder bed. Such information can be integrated into a 2D or 3D layered model of the formation. The elastic rock properties of the tool layer and shoulder bed derived from the multiple arrival event processing can provide more representative elastic property values, which can account for heterogeneity along the wellbore. Furthermore, the method can involve using at least part of the properties including porosity, elastic rock properties, and geometric information for the tool layer and shoulder bed for well placement (geosteering) and well completion optimization.

摘要: A method for estimating resistivity and dielectric constant values of a multi-layer subterranean formation acquiring electromagnetic propagation measurements of the subterranean formation and processing the measurements via inversion to compute the resistivity and dielectric constant values. A one-dimensional formation model is utilized including a plurality of formation layers in which each of the formation layers includes a resistivity value and a dielectric constant value.
