This paper proposed a new steering drilling technology based on the Pulsed Arc Plasma Shockwave Technology (PAPST),Plasma Pulse Steering Technology (PPST).\u0000 PAPST transforms electric energy into mechanical energy by discharging electrodes, which can break rock. On the basis of PAPST, PPST can precisely control the discharge time and break the rock in the specified direction at the bottom of the well, so as to realize guided drilling. First, the discharge mechanism and guiding mechanism of the PPST were studied separately. Then, the discharge control model of PPST was established to explain the feasibility of using this technology to achieve drilling guidance. Finally, to verify the actual effect of this technology on rock breaking, an experiment was carried out with self-developed experimental equipment.\u0000 Through the study of the mechanism and discharge control model of PPST, it is considered that it is feasible to use this technology to achieve guidance in theory. The experimental results show that the sandstone samples were damaged and a large area of pits appeared after the shockwave, and the ultrasonic penetration test results showed that there was damage inside the rock. As the number of impacts increased, the rock damage became more severe and fracture occurred. Therefore, it is feasible to apply PPST to the directional fracture of bottom hole rock. In summary, this technology has very good application prospects.\u0000 For the first time, this paper proposed the idea of applying PAPST to steering drilling. Through the research on the steering mechanism and the experiment, the feasibility of this technology was proved and the theoretical basis was provided for the application of this technology in the field of oil drilling.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87495819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we create an enhanced version of the data with beamforming or local stacking. Beamforming effectively suppresses scattered noise and finds weak reflection signals, albeit sacrificing some higher frequencies. Next, we employ a seismic time-frequency masking procedure to fix the original data while using beamformed data as a guide. Time-frequency masking effectively fixes corrupt and broken phase of the original data. After such data-driven healing, prestack data can be effectively processed and imaged, while maintaining the higher frequencies lost during beamforming.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91180989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the disadvantages of the current techniques are that they are not performed in-situ, and can destroy the core plugs, e.g., mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP). The objective of this paper is to introduce and investigate the emerging techniques in measuring SCAL parameters using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Artificial Intelligence (Al).\u0000 The conventional methods for measuring SCAL parameters are well understood and are an industry standard. Yet, NMR and Al - which are revolutionizing the way petroleum engineers and scientists describe rock/fluid properties - have yet to be utilized to their full potential in reservoir description. In addition, integration of the two tools will open a greater opportunity in the field of reservoir description, where measurement of in-situ SCAL parameters could be achieved. This paper shows the results of NMR lab experiments and Al analytics for measuring capillary pressures and permeability.\u0000 The data set was divided into 70% for training and 30% for validation. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used and the developed model compared well with the permeability and capillary pressure data measured from the conventional methods. Specifically, the model predicted permeability 10% error. Similarly, for the capillary pressures, the model was able to achieve an excellent match. This active research area of prediction of capillary pressure, permeability and other rock properties is a promising emerging technique that capitalizes on NMR/AI analytics. There is significant potential is being able to evaluate wettability in-situ. Core-plugs undergoing Amott-Harvey experiment with NMR measurements in the process can be used as a building block for an NMR/AI wettability determination technique. This potential aspect of NMR/AI analytics can have significant implications on field development and EOR projects\u0000 The developed NMR-Al model is an excellent start to measure permeability and capillary pressure in-situ. This novel approach coupled with ongoing research for better handling of in-situ wettability measurement will provide the industry with enormous insight into the in-situ SCAL measurements which are currently considered as an elusive measurement with no robust logging technique to evaluate them in-situ.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76349046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identification and characterization of the fracture network yields valuable information for accurate reservoir evaluation. This study aims to portray the benefits and limitations for various existing fracture characterization methods and define strategic workflows for automated fracture characterization targeting both conventional and unconventional reservoirs separately.\u0000 While traditional seismic provides qualitative information of fractures and faults on a macro scale, acoustics and other petrophysical logs provide a more comprehensive picture on a meso and micro level. High resolution image logs, with shallow depth of investigation are considered the industry standard for analysis of fractures. However, it is imperative to understand the framework of fracture in both near and far field. Various reservoir-specific collaborative workflows have been elucidated for a consistent evaluation of fracture network, results of which are further segregated using class-based machine learning techniques.\u0000 This study embarks on understanding the critical requirements for fracture characterization in different lithological settings. Conventional reservoirs have good intrinsic porosity and permeability, yet presence of fractures further enhances the flow capacity. In clastic reservoirs, fractures provide an additional permeability assist to an already producible reservoir. In carbonate reservoirs, overall reservoir and production quality exclusively depends on presence of extensive fracture network as it quantitatively controls the fluid flow interactions among otherwise isolated vugs.\u0000 Devoid of intrinsic porosity and permeability, the presence of open-extensive fractures is even more critical in unconventional reservoirs such as basement, shale-gas/oil and coal-bed methane, since it demarcates the reservoir zone and defines the economic viability for hydrocarbon exploration in reservoirs.\u0000 Different forward modeling approaches using the best of conventional logs, borehole images, acoustic data (anisotropy analysis, borehole reflection survey and stoneley waveforms) and magnetic resonance logs have been presented to provide reservoir-specific fracture characterization. Linking the resolution and depth of investigation of different available techniques is vital for the determination of openness and extent of the fractures into the formation.\u0000 The key innovative aspect of this project is the emphasis on an end-to-end suitable quantitative analysis of flow contributing fractures in different conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Successful establishment of this approach capturing critical information will be the stepping-stone for developing machine learning techniques for field level assessment.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75657051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, using a high viscous friction reducer (HVFR) as a fracturing fluid for stimulation treatment in tight gas reservoirs is increasing within the industry because it can transport proppant, help reduce pipe friction generated during hydraulic-fracturing treatments, and efficiently clean up similar to the lower viscosity friction reducers (FRs). In this paper the implementation of the robust HVFR that is building higher viscosity at low concentrations, which minimizes energy loss and promotes turbulent flow within the pipe during the pumping of low viscosity, is discussed in detail.\u0000 Performance evaluation of the new HVFR was conducted in the laboratory and compared to the lower viscosity FR. The study consisted of viscosity measurements at 70 and 180°F, compatibility with other additives, and proppant transport capabilities. Additionally, the viscosity generated from both FRs was compared using two water sources: water well A and treated sewage water. Viscosity measurements were performed across a wide range of FR and HVFR concentrations and under varying shear rates using a digital viscometer.\u0000 To validate drag reduction capabilities for this HVFR in the field, the same groundwater with low salinity and low total dissolved solids (TDS) content were used for comparison purposes. The test plan for this new HVFR was for a well to be drilled to a total depth of 17,801 ft MD (10,693 ft TVD) with a 6,016-ft lateral section. Another part of the plan was to complete 41 stages—the first stage with the toe initiator, and subsequent stages using ball drops until Stage 8, were completed using the current FR. For Stage 8, the drag reduction from the new HVFR was evaluated against the current FR only during the pad stage. Then, FR or HVFR concentrations were used, with a gradual reduction from 2 to 1 gpt without compromising proppant placement from stages 9 to 37, alternating current FR and the new HVFR every four stages. From Stage 38 to 41, the same approach was used but with treated sewage water and alternating every other stage using current FR or HVFR at 1gpt.\u0000 The implementation of the new HVFR showed better friction reduction when using the same concentration of the current FR. Also, achieving better average treating pressures with lower concentration. Based on that it is a cost-effective solution and the performance is better, this lead to reduce the HVFR volume to be pumped per stage compared to the current FR.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 For this study, drag reduction capabilities for this new HVFR were validated in the field at higher pumping rate conditions, potentially optimizing (reducing) the polymer concentration during a freshwater application. It was shown that lower concentrations of this HVFR provided higher viscosity, which helps improve proppant transport and operation placement.\u0000","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73002702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fracture channels within the reservoir are the primary water conductors that shape water front patterns and cause uneven sweep efficiency. Flow simulation for fractured reservoirs is typically time-consuming due to the inherent high nonlinearity. A data-driven approach to capture the main flow patterns is quintessential for efficient optimization of reservoir performance and uncertainty quantification.\u0000 We employ an artificial intelligence (AI) aided proxy modeling framework for waterfront tracking in complex fractured carbonate reservoirs. The framework utilizes deep neural networks and reduced-order modeling to achieve an efficient representation of the reservoir dynamics to track and determine the fluid flow patterns within the fracture network. The AI-proxy model is examined on a synthetic two-dimensional (2D) fractured carbonate reservoir model. Training dataset including saturation and pressure maps at a series of time steps is generated using a dual-porosity dual-permeability (DPDP) model. Experimental results indicate a robust performance of the AI-aided proxy model, which successfully reproduce the key flow patterns within the reservoir and achieve orders of shorter running time than the full-order reservoir simulation. This suggests the great potential of utilizing the AI-aided proxy model for heavy-simulation-based reservoir applications such as history matching, production optimization, and uncertainty assessment.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82257621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the traditional applications of DTS is injectivity profiling, both for hydraulically fractured and non-fractured wells. There is a long history of determining injectivity profiles using temperature profiles, usually by analyzing warm-back data with largely pure heat conduction models or by employing a so-called \"hot-slug\" approach that requires tracking of a temperature transient that arises at the onset of injection. In many of these attempts there is no analysis performed for the key influencing physical factors that could create significant ambiguity in the interpretation results. Among such factors we will consider in detail is the possible impact of cross-flow during the early warm-back stage, but also the temperature transient signal that is related to the location of the fiber-optic sensing cable behind the casing when the fast transient data are used for interpretation such as the \"hot slug\" during re-injection.\u0000 In this paper it will be shown that despite all such potential complications, the high frequency and quality of the transient data that can be obtained from a continuous DTS measurement allow for a highly reliable and robust evaluation of the injectivity profile. The well-known challenge of the ambiguity of the interpretation, produced by the interpretation methods that are conventionally used, is overcome using the innovative \"Pressure Rate Temperature Transient Analysis\" method that takes maximum use of the complete DTS transient data set and all other available data at the level of the model-based interpretation. This method is based on conversion of field measurements into injectivity profiles taking into account the uncertainty in different parts of the data set, which includes the specifics of the DTS deployment, the uncertainty in surface flow rates, and possible data gaps in the history of the well.\u0000 Several case studies will be discussed where this approach was applied to water injection wells. For the analysis, the re-injection and warmback DTS transient temperature measurements were taken from across the sandface. Furthermore, for comparison, injection profiles were also recorded by conventional PLTs in parallel.\u0000 This case study will focus mostly on the advanced interpretation opportunities and the challenges related to crossflow through the wellbore during the warm-back phase, related to reservoir pressure dynamics, and finally related to the impact of the method of DTS deployment. In addition to describing the interpretation methodology, this paper will also show the final comparison of the fiber-optic evaluation with the interpretation obtained from the reference PLTs.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78513996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a new clustering method for rock-typing integrated different disciplines is critical for modelling and reservoir simulation.\u0000 In this paper, we proposed a novel semi-supervised clustering method integrated with data from different disciplines, which can divide rock type automatically and precisely. Considering AA reservoir is a porous carbonate reservoir with seldom fracture and vug, FZI (Flow Zone Indicator) and RQI (Reservoir Quality Index) is utilized as the corner stone of the clustering method after collection and plotting for porosity and permeability data for cores from AA reservoir. Then lithofacies, sedimentary facies and petrophysical data are applied as constraints to improve FZI method.

Finally, based on output results of integrated clustering method from experimental data, grid properties of model in Petrel software are imported as the input parameter for further procession.

It presents an approach to predict the changes in compressional velocity (Vp) as function of pressure in carbonates. The approach honors the complexity of carbonates by incorporating various petrophysical rock properties including bulk density, porosity, mineralogy and pore stiffness. The data used in this study consists of rock properties (density, porosity, mineralogy) and elastic velocity measured as function of confining pressure for 220 carbonate core plug samples from published literature. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to evaluate the significance of each property in predicting velocity-pressure relationship. A simple regression was formulated incorporating all significant input rock properties to predict Vp as function of pressure based on initial measured velocity at a given pressure. The predictions were compared with the measured Vp. The results show that the sensitivity of Vp to changes in pressure increases as the porosity and pore compressiblity increases. On the other hand, samples with higher bulk density and Vp / Vs ratio (at initial lowest pressure) show little Vp variations as function of increasing pressure. High Vp / Vs values are observed in samples that are well cemented and have less clay or silisiclastic fraction. Such characteristics reduce the compressibility of pores leading to non-variable velocity-pressure relationship. Incorporating the rock properties in regression analysis could successfully predict Vp as function of pressure with a correlation coefficient of 0.99 and average absolute error of less than 3%. Since all input parameters (rock properties) can be estimated from well logs, the presented approach can potentially be used to predict in-situ changes in Vp due to pressure changes. This can assist the interpretation of time lapse seismic, and in geomechanics-related applications.","PeriodicalId":11094,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, November 29, 2021","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85929305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
