摘要: A method of identifying hydrocarbon seeps that are connected to hydrocarbon reservoirs and for identifying in situ conditions of hydrocarbon reservoirs is disclosed. The method comprises, obtaining a sample from an area of interest, such as a sediment sample or water column sample near a hydrocarbon seep; analyzing the sample to detect microbial signatures that are specific to families associated with hydrocarbon reservoirs; and using the signature to determine whether the hydrocarbon seep is connected to a hydrocarbon reservoir and to identify properties of the hydrocarbon reservoir.

摘要: The invention is a data processing method and system for notifying petroleum geoscientists of contradictions in sentiment between petroleum geoscience topic associations in text. The data processing system makes the necessary calculations to detect petroleum geoscience associations of interest, predict their sentiment and report contradictions in sentiment. Contradictions can be calibrated with past business success and failures through time, such as exploration or operations, to create a classifier to predict future areas of opportunity and risk. In particular, the data processing system operates on any digital unstructured text derived from academic literature, company reports, web pages and other sources. This information is analyzed and utilized by the system assisting petroleum geoscientists to identify business opportunities and risks.

摘要: A method for modeling fluid flow in a wellbore is provided. Hydraulic fracturing is an effective technique to improve well productivity by forming high permeable pathways for hydrocarbons to flow from the rock formation to the wellbore. Fluid flow for hydraulic fracturing is modeled using separated flow components, including a wellbore component (modeling the wellbore(s)), a perforation component (modeling the perforations(s)), a fracture component (modeling the fracture(s)) and a rock component (modeling the rock). Each respective component may be selected independently from a plurality of available components. Further, the respective components may be coupled to one another only at their interfaces, such as at a wellbore-perforation interface, a perforation-fracture interface, and a fracture-rock interface, for continuity of fluid kinematics and properties (such as pressure and density). In this way, the modeling of the subsurface may be tailored to the respective components in order to effectively predict the fracturing treatment.

摘要: Hydrocarbon wells including gas lift valves and methods of providing gas lift in a hydrocarbon well. The hydrocarbon wells include a wellbore extending within a subsurface region and a downhole tubular extending within the wellbore. The downhole tubular defines a tubular conduit, and the wellbore and the downhole tubular define an annular space therebetween. The hydrocarbon wells also include a lift gas supply system configured to provide a lift gas stream to the annular space and a closure material supply system configured to provide a closure material stream to the annular space. The hydrocarbon wells further includes a gas lift valve operatively attached to the downhole tubular. The gas lift valve includes a lift gas injection conduit and an actuation mechanism. The actuation mechanism selectively transitions to a closed state responsive to contact with the closure material. The methods include methods of operating the hydrocarbon wells.

摘要: A method and systems for sand control in wells are described in examples. An example uses a prepack screen assembly comprising an inner screen comprising openings having an inner size and an outer screen comprising openings having an outer size. Packing material is disposed between the inner screen and the outer screen comprising pores with a pore size that is selected based, at least in part, on the outer size, the inner size, or both.

摘要: There is provided a system and method for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). An exemplary method includes flowing a high-pressure stream of LNG through a first series of liquid turbines. The exemplary method also includes generating electricity by reducing the pressure of the high-pressure stream of LNG to form a low-pressure stream of LNG. The exemplary method additionally includes bypassing any one the liquid turbines that has a failure while continuing to produce electricity from the first series.

摘要: A method of identifying in situ conditions of a hydrocarbon reservoir is disclosed. The method comprises, obtaining a sample from an area of interest, such as a sediment sample or water column sample near a hydrocarbon seep; analyzing the sample to detect lipid, protein, and/or nucleic acid signatures that are indicative of the Thermotogales order; identifying the relative abundance of the different genera and/or species of the Thermotogales present in the sample to generate a taxonomy signature of the sample; and then using the taxonomy signature to determine conditions, such as temperature, of the hydrocarbon reservoir.
