    摘要: A method for determining a property of fluids in formations surrounding an earth borehole includes the following steps: producing, from measurements on a multiplicity of fluid samples, a database of stored fluid property training values related to stored fluid measurement training values; deriving, from the database, radial basis function parameters; deriving formation fluid measurement values; and determining, using radial basis function interpolation, the property of formation fluids from values in the database, the parameters, and the derived formation fluid measurement values.

    摘要: Various methods for measuring continuity and discontinuity of a seismic data set. One method embodiment includes: a) detecting seismic energy with an array of detectors; b) converting detection signals from the array of detectors into data representing one or more attributes as a function of position for subsurface formations; c) systematically obtaining subsets of the data as vector sets; and d) for each vector set: (1) combining vectors from the vector set to determine a representative vector for the vector set; and (2) calculating a continuity or discontinuity measurement with respect to the representative vector. In various embodiments, the continuity or discontinuity measurement may be expressible as a fraction of vector set energy derived from vector components aligned with or deviating from the representative vector.

    摘要: The Fracture Trend Identification method is practiced by the Fracture Trend Identification software adapted for analyzing compressional 2-D seismic data in order to identify zones in a rock formation containing open, natural fractures. The Fracture Trend Identification method comprises one or two or more of the following steps: loading seismic data into the workstation software and visually quality controlling it, and then generating variance sections and reviewing them visually to identify faulting, identifying seismic events that corresponds to a formation of interest, extracting seismic attribute data from various zones of the seismic events, identifying frequency anomalies by interpreting the extracted seismic attribute data of the various zones of the seismic events, identifying and removing any potentially false positive frequency anomalies, and confirming any remaining ones of the anomalies not removed during the removing step and ranking the confirmed ones of the remaining anomalies. The method for identifying the seismic events that correspond to the formation of interest may comprise the extraction of a seismic wavelet and the performance of a well to seismic tie through the generation of the synthetic. The extraction of seismic attribute data from various zones may comprise the generation of the seismic Dominant Frequency attribute. Interpreting the extracted data for the various zones may comprise the posting of attribute values on a ribbon posting map and the examination of these values for rapid shifts in frequencies from higher to lower frequencies. The identification and removal of potential false positives may comprise the extraction and examination of a Dominant Frequency for a near surface seismic event and comparison with those of the zone(s) of interest. The confirmation of any remaining ones of the anomalies not removed during the removing step and ranking the confirmed ones of the remaining anomalies may comprise the extraction and examination of the seismic frequency spectrums from selected zones above, below, and including the frequency attenuation zones.

    摘要: System and methods for using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) T1 measurements for wireline, LWD and MWD applications and down-hole NMR fluid analyzers. The T1 measurements are characterized by insensitivity to motion, as the detrimental effects arising from tool motion or fluid flow are effectively reduced or eliminated. T1 measurements alone or in combination with other standard oil field measurements are shown to provide efficient data acquisition resulting in compact and robust data sets, the potential for substantially increased logging speeds, and simple methods for fluid typing, including direct and robust identification of gas.

    摘要: Physical parameters are measured for an array of seismic sources, preferably for each activation of the seismic sources. Calibration functions are obtained and the measured physical parameters and calibration functions are applied to a model, which generates a calibrated source signature for the array of seismic sources. Alternatively, the measured physical parameters are applied to a model, which generates a modeled source signature, and then the calibration functions are applied to the modeled source signature to generate the calibrated source signature. Alternatively, modeled source signatures are generated for each seismic source and then the calibration functions are applied to the modeled source signatures to generate a calibrated source signature for each seismic source. Then the calibrated source signatures for each seismic source are combined, preferably by linear superposition, to generate the calibrated source signature for the array of seismic sources.

    摘要: A method for determining concentrations of naturally occurring radioactive elements in earth formation by analysis of gamma ray energy spectra measured by at least one gamma ray detector while the borehole is being drilled. Gain of the gamma ray detector is controlled automatically through analysis of the spectra. The one or more gamma ray detectors are disposed at the periphery of the downhole instrumentation to maximize sensitivity. Elemental concentrations of naturally occurring radioactive elements such as potassium, uranium and thorium are measured either as a function of depth in the borehole, or as a function of aximuthal sectors around the borehole wall, or as a function of both depth and azimuthal sectors.
