摘要: Systems and methods may be used to process seismic data acquired using a sensor array including optical fiber sensors in a seismic acquisition environment for modeling displacement spectrums from distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) of strain measurements for moment magnitude estimation. For example, a method may include receiving DAS data of strain measurements from a plurality of sensors of an oil and gas well system, converting the DAS data to displacement data using a conversion algorithm, generating a displacement spectrum model based on the displacement data, and estimating a moment magnitude of a seismic moment using the displacement spectrum model.

摘要: A method may include receiving a plurality of signals from a sensor deployed in a subterranean formation and performing a step-rate analysis for the subterranean formation using the plurality of signals. An ideal volumetric flow rate and pressure of water injected into the subterranean formation by a power water injector may be determined from the step-rate analysis. A cumulative volume and pressure of water injected into the subterranean formation may be determined continuously to obtain a plurality of cumulative injected water and pressure data points. A Hall plot analysis may be performed from the plurality of cumulative injected water and pressure data points. A mitigation action may be performed when a deviation from steady state within the Hall plot analysis is beyond a constant factor, wherein the mitigation action reduces the deviation from steady state.

摘要: A monitoring system includes a spectroscopic probe in fluid connection with a fracturing fluid, reference spectra obtained from one or more fracturing fluid components, and a computer in communication with the spectroscopic probe. The computer includes a predictive model generated from the reference spectra. The computer also includes instructions to compare spectroscopic data obtained from the spectroscopic probe with the predictive model. A modified well fracturing system includes a monitoring system located at a surface location of a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and a surface pump in fluid connection with the fracturing fluid source and a wellbore of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. A method for monitoring a fracturing fluid is also described.

摘要: A method for removing a guided wave noise in a time-domain may include recording one or more acoustic signals with one or more receivers at a first location, wherein the one or more acoustic signals are raw data. The method may further include determining a slowness range, estimating a downward guided wave noise by stacking the one or more acoustic signals based at least in part on a positive slowness, estimating an upward guided wave noise by stacking the one or more acoustic signals based at least in part on a negative slowness, and identifying a dominant direction of propagation. The method may further include identifying a slowness from a highest stacked amplitude for the dominant direction of propagation, estimating a downward guided wave noise with the slowness, estimating an upward guided wave noise with the slowness, and subtracting the downward guided wave noise and the upward guided wave noise.

摘要: A technique facilitates monitoring of events related to various well operations. According to an embodiment, the technique provides a non-invasive approach to measuring fluid and solids transport through well surface pipe assemblies. The desired information may be detected and obtained by mounting sensors to the exterior of pipes, thus enabling retrofitting of the sensor system to existing assemblies at a desired time during a given operation. Additionally, the technique may utilize a combination of sensors and systems for measuring fluid and solids transport through well flow path assemblies. The measurements obtained may be used to provide real-time monitoring of surface flow conditions as well as of downhole wellbore conditions and of the status of downhole equipment.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for hydrocarbon monitoring are provided. An example method (e.g., performed by a monitoring system) includes receiving one or more first downhole measurements including a first speed of sound (SoS) measurement of a flowing fluid at a first location, wherein a pressure of the flowing fluid at the first location is greater than a bubble-point pressure of the flowing fluid; receiving one or more second downhole measurements including a second SoS measurement of the flowing fluid at a second location, wherein a pressure of the flowing fluid at the second location is less than the bubble-point pressure of the flowing fluid and wherein the flowing fluid is a 3-phase fluid mixture at the second location; and calculating one or more phase flow rates of the 3-phase fluid mixture, based on the first SoS measurement, the second SoS measurement, and a measurement of a bulk velocity of the flowing fluid.

摘要: An intelligent completion module includes a flowmeter that uses one or more electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) sensors and a flow control valve. The flow rate and the speed of sound in the production fluid from a production zone is measured and used to make reservoir management decisions. The flowmeter includes at least two EMAT rings, including one or more EMAT sensors in a circular distribution which can be used in propagation or pulse-echo modes. In a segregated flow regime, a single EMAT sensor in pulse-echo mode is used to measure holdups of fluid components.

摘要: A device and method for imaging, measuring and identifying multiphase fluid flow in wellbores using phased array Doppler ultrasound. The device includes a radially-configured or ring-shaped ultrasound transducer that when deployed in a well in Doppler mode can measure the velocity of radially flowing fluids in the wellbore and generate a 3D image of radial flow in the wellbore, including flowback into the wellbore after fracturing operations, or flow leaving the wellbore during water injection operations. The ring-shaped ultrasound transducer can also simultaneously operate in a B-mode to generate a B-mode image of the wellbore liner upon which the Doppler image can be overlaid. The device may also include a forward facing ultrasound transducer either instead of or in place of the ring-shaped transducer for obtaining information and images on axial flow in the wellbore in Doppler mode, and the location of phase boundaries and phase locations in B-mode.

摘要: A hydrophone array tool as described herein is configured to locate leakages throughout a borehole with improved accuracy using acoustic beamforming techniques with acoustic velocity estimation. An acoustic beamforming processor generates an initial beamforming map and corresponding initial estimated leakage location using acoustic measurements throughout the borehole. The acoustic beamforming processor generates additional beamforming maps at the initial estimated leakage location, each additional beamforming map corresponding to an acoustic velocity within a range of anticipated acoustic velocities. An acoustic velocity estimator determines an acoustic velocity corresponding to a beamforming map with spatial statistics that indicate a most prominent leakage location. The acoustic beamforming processor updates the leakage location according to this beamforming map for improved accuracy.
