Patents by Inventor Fabrice Pairoys

Fabrice Pairoys has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9835762
    Abstract: A full petrophysical rock characterization of a rock sample in a single workflow uses a separator containing two immiscible fluids. The fluids form a fluid interface. A video camera monitors the height of the fluid interface. Current electrodes and potential electrodes are electrically connected to the rock sample. An impedance meter makes measurements across the current electrodes and the potential electrodes. A tubing is attached to one end of the rock sample and to one end of the separator and transports one of the immiscible fluids therebetween. Another tubing is attached to the other end of the rock sample and to the separator and transports the other immiscible fluid therebetween. Yet another tubing transports an immiscible mixture of the immiscible fluids from the rock sample to the separator. Pressure gauges measures the pressures in the tubings. Pumps are disposed inline with the certain tubings.

  • Publication number: 20140318232
    Abstract: Methods for deriving relative permeability from resistivity measurements in the laboratory and from downhole resistivity measurements are described. Further, systems and methods for determining relative permeability from borehole resistivity measurements made during a water flooding event such as drilling with water-based mud, water injection and/or water invasion are described.

  • Publication number: 20130002258
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining dielectric permittivity for core plugs extracted from the field or cores re-saturated with various fluids. The relative dielectric constant of reservoir core plugs is measured in controlled condition of temperature, pressure and fluid saturation within a confined cell. Four-points resistivity measurements of the rock sample in the confined cell is also provided under the controlled temperature, pressure and fluid saturation conditions.
