    Abstract: A method can include receiving downhole formation testing time series data acquired at a location along a borehole in a subsurface region during a formation testing operation performed by a downhole tool; processing the downhole formation testing time series data using a machine learning model to generate smoothed time series data; resampling the smoothed time series data; generating fluid and formation characteristics with respect to time based on the smoothed time series data; and outputting the fluid and formation characteristics with respect to time.

    Abstract: Systems and a method for well testing using a tubing hanger deployed apparatus are disclosed. The method includes shutting in a well and connecting a pressure control system and a tool string to an adapted tubing hanger plug; installing the pressure control system, the tool string, and the adapted tubing hanger plug into a borehole; opening the borehole for a fluid flow; measuring a flow rate of the fluid flow through the borehole using a flowmeter; and measuring physical properties of the fluid flow with sensors on the tool string. The method further includes closing a surface safety valve and optionally closing a subsurface safety valve; retrieving the adapted tubing hanger plug and the tool string; and downloading data for analysis of the flow rate and physical properties measured.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for managing corrosions in oil and gas pipelines. One computer-implemented method includes: obtaining, by one or more hardware processors, a first dataset and a second dataset; performing, by one or more hardware processors, a feature mapping operation that matches one or more corrosion features in the first dataset to corresponding features in the second dataset, wherein the feature mapping operation comprises a joint matching process, a girth weld coordinate transformation process, and an iterative closet point (ICP) process; determining, by one or more hardware processors, a corrosion growth rate based on an output of the feature mapping operation; and outputting, by one or more hardware processors, the output of the feature mapping operation in a user interface.

    Abstract: A method is used to determine the permeability of a hydraulic fracture. The method includes obtaining formation parameters and a plurality of formation samples, dividing the plurality of formation samples into a first group and a second group, measuring mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group, soaking the second group in a fracturing fluid for a plurality of time periods, and measuring, after each soaking time period, the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the second group. The soaking the second group in the fracturing fluid includes soaking the second group in a plurality of different fracturing fluids. The method further includes building, using a computer processor, a proppant-rock interaction model based, at least in part, on the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group and the second group, and determining, using the computer processor, the permeability of a hydraulic fracture based, at least in part, on the proppant-rock interaction model and the formation parameters.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional in-situ characterization method for heterogeneity in generating and reserving performances of shale. The method includes the following steps: establishing a logging in-situ interpretation model of generating and reserving parameters based on lithofacies-lithofacies-well coupling, and completing single-well interpretation; establishing a 3D seismic in-situ interpretation model of generating and reserving parameters by using well-seismic coupling; establishing a spatial in-situ framework of a layer group based on lithofacies-well-seismic coupling, and establishing a spatial distribution trend framework of small layers of a shale formation by using 3D visualized comparison of a vertical well; and implementing 3D in-situ accurate characterization of shale generating and reserving performance parameters by using lithofacies-well-seismic coupling based on the establishment of the seismic-lithofacies dual-control parameter field. The present invention integrates an in-situ technology into shale logging, seismic generating and reserving parameter interpretation, and the establishment of a 3D mesh model of small layers of shale, which realizes the accurate description of the heterogeneity in TOC content and porosity value of shale oil and gas in a 3D space, and provides a reliable technical support for shale oil and gas exploration and development.

    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for determining perforation cluster points of a reservoir. A rock type of a geological formation of a reservoir is determined using petrophysical data. The transmissible sublayers of the reservoir are determined by grouping the petrophysical data into different subset transmissible layers based on cut-off criteria. Net transmissible reservoir footage for the transmissible sublayers are generated based on averages of parameters for minimum and maximum measured depths. Potential stages for the reservoir are determined using a conditional formatting on the transmissible reservoir footage. Potential perforation cluster points selected based on the potential stages for the reservoir are received from input of an engineer.
