摘要： A system including an image acquisition unit in optical communication with a flow pathway. The system may include at least one illumination source directable toward a shale shaker. The illumination source may emit a light output. A band-stop filter may be affixed to the image acquisition unit to filter out infrared light. The band-stop filter may also allow electromagnetic radiation of the light output to reach the image acquisition unit. An analysis device may be used to determine a volume of downhole particles on the shale shaker using deflections of the light output observed by the image acquisition unit.

摘要： A technique facilitates control over the positioning of a well tool in a wellbore or other type of borehole. According to an embodiment, a well tool is combined with a centralizer system. The centralizer system has a plurality of extension members which are oriented to extend outwardly, e.g., radially outwardly, from the well tool. The extension members of the plurality of extension members are uniquely controllable to enable controlled positioning of the well tool within the borehole. For example, the extension members may be actuated to centralize the well tool along a desired borehole axis.

摘要： A method may include obtaining seismic data regarding a geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining a property model regarding the geological region of interest. The method may further include determining an adjoint migration operator based on the property model. The method may further include updating the property model using the seismic data and a conjugate gradient solver in a least-squares reverse time migration to produce a first updated property model. The conjugate gradient solver is based on the adjoint migration operator. The method may further include updating the first updated property model using a threshold shrinkage function to produce a second updated property model. The threshold shrinkage function comprises a sign function and a maximum function that are applied to the first updated property model. The method may further include generating a seismic image of the geological region of interest using the second updated property model.

摘要： A system is described for calculating and outputting micro invisible lost time (MILT). The system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. Time-stamp data that includes values of drilling parameters may be received about a drilling operation, and the values of drilling parameters may be classified into a rig state that includes rig activities. For each rig activity, an actual completion time may be determined and compared to an expected completion time for determining a deviation. At least one deviated activity, in which the deviation is greater than a threshold, may be determined. Deviations may be combined into MILT that can be output for controlling the drilling operation.

摘要： One embodiment of a wellbore to fracture connectivity apparatus comprises an opening portion representing an opening in a wellbore for receiving fluid, proppant, or any combination thereof to generate at least one fracture in a formation; a fracture portion representing the at least one fracture in the formation; and a coupling portion representing wellbore to fracture connectivity between the opening portion and the fracture portion. The coupling portion couples the opening portion and the fracture portion.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for determining the size of an underground fracture network. The method includes injecting a colloid into the formation, the colloid including a carrier liquid and sized particles with a particular size distribution. After extracting fluid from the formation, a quantity of the extracted sized particles is determined. Based on the size distribution of the injected sized particles and the measured quantity of extracted sized particles, the size of the fracture network is determined. Using sized particles means that the fractured network can be selectively determined as the particles are too large to enter the rock matrix itself.

摘要： A method includes installing an influx device into a bell nipple. The influx device has an opening, a pumping port entrance, a pumping port exit, a measuring port entrance, and a measuring port exit. The pumping port exit is disposed in the annulus and the measuring port entrance is disposed adjacent the opening. The method further includes pumping a control gas, at a flow rate, from the pumping port entrance to the annulus using the pumping port exit, receiving the control gas at the measuring port exit using the measuring port entrance, detecting the control gas, using a gas measuring device connected to the measuring port exit, to determine a displacement time, and measuring the size of the void in the annulus using the flow rate and the displacement time.

摘要： Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing resources from an unconventional reservoir. In one implementation, raw reservoir data for the unconventional reservoir is obtained. The raw reservoir data includes geology data, completion data, development data, and production data. The raw reservoir data is transformed to transformed data. The raw reservoir data is transformed to the transformed data based on a transformation from a set of one or more raw variable to a set of one or more transformed variables. The set of one or more transformed variables is statistically uncorrelated. Resource development data is extracted from the transformed data. Performance analytics are generated for the unconventional reservoir using the resource development data. The performance analytics are generated through ensemble machine learning. The unconventional reservoir is developed based on the performance analytics.
