Abstract Basin and petroleum systems are routinely modelled to provide qualitative quantitative assessments of a hydrocarbon play. The importance the rock thermal properties heat flow density in modelling history basin well‐known, but little attention is paid assumptions conductivity, present‐day basins. Assumed values often far from measured when data available check parameters, effective conductivity models prescribed many simulators require improvement. reconstructed justified by...
Quantitative determination of mineralogy can be accomplished through the implementation high-definition spectroscopic logging methods, however, these methods are rarely used due to their complexity and high costs. Additionally, presence kerogen, as well significant heterogeneity anisotropy inherent in unconventional formations, pose challenges obtaining accurate mineralogical composition assessments. This problem resolved by utilizing machine learning (ML) algorithms based on thermal...
Abstract More than 8,500 measurements of the rock thermal properties – conductivity, diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity performed on samples different types from 6 terrigenous carbonaceous heavy oil reservoirs provided vast experimental data base for 4D reservoir modeling EOR recovery methods. The results describe essential spatial variations (more 100%) in properties, including anisotropy heterogeneity, within reservoirs, significant temporal (up to 100% most cases) that are caused by...
Abstract Quantitative determination of mineralogy can be done using high-definition spectroscopic logging methods, however these methods are rarely used due to complexity and cost. Also, it is difficult obtain mineralogical composition in unconventional formations presence kerogen high heterogeneity anisotropy such formations. This problem resolved by utilizing Machine Learning algorithms based on well thermal profiling data which improve speed up reservoir characterisation. Special wrappers...
Abstract Pressure distribution at the tip of a hydraulic fracture is key element for controlling propagation. In low-permeability formations, under downhole reservoir conditions, severe pressure drop occurs and lag zone develops due to fluid cavitation. Properly taking into account parameters behavior has resulted in more accurate robust propagation models. However, situation still unclear high permeability because formation can invade where drops below far-field pore pressure. Moreover,...
Abstract A set of advanced methods and instruments was developed to improve essentially quality experimental data on reservoir thermal properties (thermal conductivity, diffusivity, volumetric heat capacity, coefficient linear expansion) at atmospheric thermobaric conditions. The new core logging technique provides continuous high-resolution profiling rock along wells accounting for anisotropy multi-scale heterogeneity. Integration the application results with standard well leads...
Within the vast category of unconventional resources, heavy oils play an essential role as related resources are abundant throughout world and amount oil produced using thermal methods is significant. Simulators for thermo–hydro–dynamic modeling, a mandatory tool in oilfield development, continuously improving. However, present paper shows that software capabilities integration data on rock properties necessary modeling limited, outdated some aspects, require revision. In this paper, it...
