Jul 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/613610
Inventors:
Elan Yogeswaren - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
PathFinder Energy Services, Inc. - Houston TX

Borehole Apparatus And Methods For Simultaneous Multimode Excitation And Reception To Determine Elastic Wave Velocities, Elastic Modulii, Degree Of Anisotropy And Elastic Symmetry Configurations

View page
US Patent:
7529150, May 5, 2009
Filed:
Feb 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/348216
Inventors:
Elan Yogeswaren - Houston TX, US
Lucio N. Tello - Benbrook TX, US
Thomas J. Blankinship - Fort Worth TX, US
Assignee:
Precision Energy Services, Ltd. - Calgary
International Classification:
G01V 1/44
G01V 1/46
US Classification:
367 25, 367 31, 367 35, 181102, 181104, 181105
Abstract:
An acoustic borehole logging system for generation and detection of multipole modes used to determine elastic properties of earth formations characterized as inhomogeneous anisotropic solids. The system concurrently generates and senses monopole, dipole, quadrupole and any higher order pole in the borehole/formation system in order to characterize the elastic properties and stress state of material penetrated by the borehole. Multipole modes of all orders are induced simultaneously without the need for separate transmitter and receiver systems. Performance of the logging system is not compromised due to eccentering of the axis of the tool in the borehole, tool tilt with respect to the axis of the borehole, or mismatch of response sensitivity of multiple receivers within the tool. The system comprises apparatus for generating and sensing acoustic signals in a borehole in an earth formation, and further comprises a processing method by which the sensor response signals are processed and analyzed to obtain desired formation parameters of interest.

N-Phasic Element Method For Calculating A Fully Coupled Response Of Multiphase Compositional Fluid Flow And A System For Uncertainty Estimation

View page
US Patent:
8255195, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
Sep 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/562939
Inventors:
Elan Yogeswaren - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Geoscape Analytics, Inc - Sugar Land TX
International Classification:
G06G 7/48
US Classification:
703 10, 702 6
Abstract:
In an exemplary embodiment, a method is disclosed for developing an N-phasic finite element model for performing fully coupled analyses of multi-phase compositional fluid flow and heat flow in nonlinearly deforming porous solid media with time-dependent failure. The method can include formulating a finite element model of the behavior of a coupled solid-fluid formation, having complex geometry and behavior, and applying the model to derive the response of the formation in the form of one or more displacement fields for the solid phases and one or more pressure fields for the fluid phases in a zone of interest in a formation. In an exemplary embodiment, a system is disclosed for estimating the uncertainties in the derived displacement and pressure field solutions for the response of the fully coupled solid-fluid phases.
