    摘要: Systems and methods include a system for deploying and using a customized logging-while-drilling (LWD) tool. A command is provided by a tool control system to a mechanical drive of a LWD tool to cause pads and caliper fingers of the LWD tool to extend radially, lock in place using a locking mechanism, and begin to capture downhole measurements while the LWD tool is deployed in a borehole of a well. Pressure pulse cycles produced by a series of distinct high and low flow rates by the tool control system are provided to create pulses to be detected downhole by pressure transducers. A measurement sequence for caliper and resistivity images is triggered by the tool control system. The measurement sequence is terminated by the tool control system to conserve energy.

    摘要: A method for recording data relating to the performance of an oil and gas flow network uses statistical data to represent raw data in a compact form. Categories are assigned to time intervals in the data. The method comprises: (1) gathering data covering a period of time, wherein the data relates to the status of one or more control point(s) within the flow network and to one or more flow parameter(s) of interest in one or more flow path(s) of the flow network; (2) identifying multiple time intervals in the data during which the control points and the flow parameter(s) can be designated as being in a category selected from multiple categories; (3) assigning a selected category of the multiple categories to each one of the multiple datasets that are framed by the multiple time intervals; and (4) extracting statistical data representative of some or all of the datasets identified in step (2) to thereby represent the original data from step (1) in a compact form including details of the category assigned to each time interval in step (3).

    摘要: Arrangement for detecting water in a material flow during drilling, wherein the arrangement includes a control unit, a data acquisition unit and a sensor, wherein the sensor includes at least two probes, wherein the at least two probes are to be arranged in contact with the material flow and are connected to a programmable voltage source and a programmable voltage receiver. The arrangement is configured tomeasure a ratio between a received voltage waveform and an applied voltage waveform for a set of pre-determined frequencies; determine a complex impedance between the at least two probes for each of the pre-determined frequencies, based on the measured ratio; and determine a set of time mean values of the determined complex impedance for each of the pre-determined frequencies, using a time window.

    摘要: A method of fabricating and utilizing an unconventional reservoir maturity chart is provided. A historical dataset for a Paleozoic or a pre-Paleozoic shale or sandstone unconventional reservoir is utilized to obtain carbon isotopic ratio values for δ13C1, δ13C2, and vitrinite reflectance equivalents (VRE). Such data is utilized to plot several maturity shapes based upon VRE values, where several of the maturity shapes have a maturity shape boundary defined by the relationship δ13C1=δ13C2. The method for utilizing the unconventional reservoir maturity chart may include determining a maturity level for the hydrocarbon gas sample based upon a relative position of the plotted data point versus a first maturity shape, a second maturity shape, a third maturity shape, and a fourth maturity shape. The method may also permit determining a production plan for the unconventional reservoir associated with the hydrocarbon gas sample.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining, by a downhole tool, a first shape of sensor data representing one or more characteristics of a wellbore, comparing, by the downhole tool, the first shape with a set of pre-determined reference shapes stored in a downhole memory to select a pre-determined reference shape that can be imposed on the first shape, calculating one or more delta values between the first shape and the selected pre-determined reference shape, and transmitting, by the downhole tool, the pre-determined reference shape and the delta values to a processor at a surface of the wellbore.
