    摘要: System and methods of petrophysical modeling are disclosed. Training data for modeling a reservoir formation surrounding a wellbore drilled within the reservoir formation is received via a network from one or more data sources. A machine learning model is trained using symbolic regression to determine a formation model representing the reservoir formation, based on the training data received from the data source(s). At least one property of the reservoir formation is estimated, based on the formation model. A downhole operation is performed along the wellbore within the reservoir formation, based on the at least one estimated property.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a method of determining wettability characteristics of a sub-surface formation within a wellbore utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and bulk fluid measurements at various stages of fluid saturation at that wellbore location. In another aspect, the pumping pressure is incrementally changed within the wellbore, measuring injection fluid and hydrocarbon saturation data values between the incremental pump pressure changes. In another aspect, a measuring and sampling tool is disclosed to execute the method and produce wettability characteristics. In another aspect, a system is disclosed that can operate NMR devices, bulk fluid equipment, pump systems, and other devices to collect data and to determine wettability characteristics on the collected data.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a data acquisition tool including NMR sensors, a data acquisition processor communicatively coupled with the NMR sensors, and a first memory storing instructions that cause the data acquisition processor to perform operations comprising acquiring data of earth formation fluid, varying at least one of a magnetic field gradient and an inter-echo time, and acquiring additional data. The apparatus further comprises a data processing unit comprising a second memory storing instructions that cause the data processor to perform operations comprising receiving data acquired by the data acquisition tool, constructing a mathematical model of the data, conducting a first inversion of the mathematical model to obtain a first set of NMR responses, performing a forward model of the first set of NMR responses obtained from the first inversion, conducting a second inversion to obtain a second set of NMR responses, and determining earth formation fluid properties.

    摘要: An NMR logging system is disclosed which continues logging without interruption despite switching activation sets to adapt to changes in formation properties. Based on detection of an approaching or encountered geological boundary, an appropriate activation set is transmitted to the downhole NMR tool while the NMR tool continues logging. This system optimizes NMR data collection for each formation and associated formation fluid properties while reducing the need to stop the tool string movement while switching the activation set, and reduces incomplete collection of NMR and non-NMR logging tool data.

    摘要: A method and system for downhole, real-time determination of relative permeability with nuclear magnetic resonance and formation testing measurements is provided. The method includes introducing a nuclear magnetic (NMR) tool and a formation testing tool into a well bore penetrating a subterranean formation. The method also includes measuring a saturation of a fluid in the subterranean formation from the NMR tool, measuring a mobility of the fluid from the formation testing tool, and measuring a viscosity of the fluid. The method includes calculating a relative permeability of the subterranean formation based on the measured saturation, the measured viscosity and the measured mobility. The method also includes providing a reservoir production prediction metric based on the calculated relative permeability of the subterranean formation for facilitating a well completion operation in the wellbore.

    摘要: A formation evaluation system reduces inversion matrixes used to determine formation properties, thereby increasing the memory management and processing efficiency of the evaluation system. NMR data is acquired from a wellbore and expressed mathematically by the system as a least squares solution to a linear system. The least squares solution is approximated using a numerical decomposition method and the evaluation system determines a formation property using the approximated least squares solution. Thereafter, a downhole operation may be planned, analyzed or conducted using the determined formation property.
