    摘要: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for determining oil viscosity based on biodegradation are described. A chemical signature of oil obtained from a subterranean zone is received. An amount of bacteria associated with oil in the zone based on the chemical signature of the oil is received. Using an empirical relationship relating oil viscosities to amounts of bacteria, an oil viscosity that is empirically related to the amount of bacteria is identified. The identified oil viscosity for the oil is provided, for example, in response to input requesting oil viscosity.

    摘要: Method of modeling the biodegradation of hydrocarbons trapped in an oil reservoir or trap through the action of the bacterial population in an underlying aquifer.From data relative to the reservoir studied, concerning the form and the height of the reservoir, the physical characteristics of the porous medium, the thickness of the transition zone between the hydrocarbons and the water, the composition of the hydrocarbons, of the flow of electron acceptors entering the reservoir and data relative to the bacterial population in the aquifer, modeling is performed by discretizing the reservoir by means of a grid wherein the height of each grid cell is the thickness of the transition zone, and the variation, over the height of the reservoir, of the proportion in heavy fractions of hydrocarbons under the effect of the biodegradation is determined by iterative adjustment in each grid cell of the bacterial population to the amount of hydrocarbons available, the pore space available, the amount of electron acceptors present in the reservoir and the degradation capacities of said population.Applications: determination of the composition of oils in a reservoir and notably of the location of the heaviest fractions.

    摘要: Computer-implemented method of determining a composition of hydrocarbons present in a sedimentary basin as a result of biodegradation.The displacement rates of the hydrocarbons and the displacement rates of the water present in the porous medium are estimated, from a genesis time in a mother rock to a possible accumulation in a reservoir rock. The biodegradation in the entire porous medium is then modelled as a function of time, from the genesis in the mother rock, considering that the hydrocarbon composition varies proportionally to the displacement rates.
