Petrophysical Method For Predicting Shear Strength Anisotropy In Fine-Grained Rock Formations

View page
US Patent:
20130346048, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/918468
Inventors:
Brian Ronad Crawford - Missouri City TX, US
Nora Lee DeDontney - Houston TX, US
Bashar Alramahi - Houston TX, US
Steinar Ottesen - Katy TX, US
International Classification:
G01V 99/00
US Classification:
703 10
Abstract:
Method and system is described for modeling one or more geophysical properties of a subsurface volume. In one example, a method for predicting strength anisotropy in subsurface formations along a wellpath comprises receiving a stress model of the subsurface formation in the area of the wellpath. Bulk strength properties of target rock are obtained and used to develop anisotropic failure criteria. The stress model may then be combined with the anisotropic failure criteria to develop an anisotropic wellbore stability model which is used to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.

US Patent:
20140379312, Dec 25, 2014
Filed:
May 30, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/292452
Inventors:
Nora L. DeDontney - Houston TX, US
Brian R. Crawford - Missouri City TX, US
Bashar Alramahi - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
E21B 49/00
E21B 43/00
G01V 11/00
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
703 2, 703 10
Abstract:
Method and system is described for modeling one or more strength properties of a subsurface volume. The method provides an enhanced process for upscaling to simplify data in a manner that accounts for problems with conventional techniques. The method involves simplifying the petrophysical data and/or layers to provide an upscaling approach that accounts for the influences on the strength properties. The properties may then be utilized to enhance a subsurface model and used to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
