    摘要: A method for characterizing a property of a subterranean formation including collecting well log and seismic data, inverting the data, processing for upscaled petrophysical parameters, constructing a flow model that generates saturation, pressure and temperature, constructing seismic velocity relationships from the results of the flow model, and constructing a seismic model. Some embodiments may form a full waveform model or a ray tracing model. Some embodiments may generate a velocity profile and/or waveforms using the profile. Some embodiments may use the parameters to form a reservoir model or to recover hydrocarbons from the formations. Some embodiments build a reservoir model of CO2 injection or CO2 presence after injection or for simulating CO2 presence in a subterranean formation. Some embodiments may also quantify CO2 properties in the reservoir or predict CO2 profile evolution over time in the reservoir including spatial distribution. Some embodiments may also predict CO2 profile evolution over time in a reservoir and risk assessment, estimate storage capacity of the reservoir, or select a storage site. Some additional embodiments may also predict fluid front arrival, fluid front monitoring, fluid movement monitoring, or injectivity. Some additional embodiments may generate saturation profiles or a pressure.

    摘要: A zero-emissions power plant receives natural gas from wells at elevated pressure and temperature. Gas is expanded through one or more turbo-expanders, preferably reformed, and sent to a fuel cell where electricity, heat, carbon-dioxide, and water are generated. The carbon-dioxide is compressed by at least one compressor and piped downhole for sequestration. The turbo-expanders have shafts which preferably share the shafts of the compressors. Thus, energy given up by the natural gas in the turbo-expanders is used to run compressors which compress carbon dioxide for downhole sequestration. In one embodiment, the natural gas is applied to heat exchangers in order to generate a stream of liquid natural gas. The remainder of the gas is expanded through the turbo-expanders and processed in the reformer prior to being sent to the fuel cell. A shifter may be used between the reformer and fuel cell. A solid oxide fuel cell is preferred.

    摘要: The permeability of the cement annulus surrounding a casing is measured by locating a tool inside the casing, placing a probe of the tool in hydraulic contact with the cement annulus, measuring the change of pressure in the probe over time, where the change in pressure over time is a function of among other things, the initial probe pressure, the formation pressure, and the permeability, and using the measured change over time to determine an estimated permeability. By drilling into the cement and making additional measurements of the change of pressure in the probe over time, a radial profile of the cement permeability can be generated.

    摘要: An integrated interpretation methodology is described that evaluates carbonate reservoirs. The methodology consists of first classifying the rock facies. A geometrical model specific to the classification is then used to predict the response of the rock to a variety of stimuli. A reconstruction of the geometrical model is made by comparing the measurements with the model predictions. The model is then used to predict the resistivity and the hydraulic transport properties of the rock, thereby enabling computation of both the reserves and their production behavior.
