Publication number: 20220018816Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a gas-analysis system. The gas-analysis system may include a first valve, a gas-measurement device, and a second valve. The first valve may be between a sample-gas line and a sample-gas outlet. The first valve may be configured to either allow or prevent gas movement between the sample-gas line and the sample-gas outlet. The gas-measurement device operatively coupled to a testing-gas line. The second valve may be between the sample-gas line, a flushing-gas inlet, and the testing-gas line. The second valve may be configured to allow gas movement from one of the sample-gas line or the flushing-gas inlet to the testing-gas line.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Salar Azizi, Nicklas Ritzmann

Patent number: 10830040Abstract: Systems and methods for performing field-wide downhole operations, the field having a plurality of wells. Methods include obtaining, at a computing system, a reference data set associated with the field, the reference data set including at least one property of a downhole formation, obtaining, at the computing system, a first well data set associated with a first well of the field, the first well data set including the at least one property of a downhole formation associated with the first well, calculating a similarity index ratio based on the reference data set and the first well data set, wherein the similarity index ratio indicates a similarity in values of the reference data set and the first well data set, and performing a responsive action based on the calculated similarity index ratio.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Jonas Kaiser, Nicklas Ritzmann, Stefan Wessling

Patent number: 10802177Abstract: Techniques for evaluating hydrocarbon reserves using tool response models are provided. An example method includes measuring a first fluid distribution of a first formation proximate to a first wellbore and measuring a second fluid distribution of a second formation proximate to a second wellbore. The method further includes generating a first tool response model for the first formation based at least in part on the first fluid distribution and generating a second tool response model for the second formation based at least in part on the second fluid distribution. The method further includes comparing results of the first tool response model to results of the second tool response model to determine a fluid distribution difference between the first formation and the second formation and implementing a drilling command to alter drilling of one of the first and second wellbores based at least in part on the fluid distribution difference.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Stefan Wessling, Nicklas Ritzmann

Patent number: 10690642Abstract: A method for generating a log of a value of a property of a fluid in an earth formation versus depth includes: obtaining a plurality of samples of drilling fluid that are entrained with a formation gas and correlating each sample to a depth in a borehole from which the formation gas was entrained in the drilling fluid; extracting the formation gas from each sample to provide a plurality of gas samples; analyzing each formation gas sample to provide a chemical composition of each formation gas sample in the plurality of formation gas samples; and determining a property value of the fluid in the earth formation versus depth using the chemical composition of each formation gas sample in the plurality of formation gas samples to provide the log.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Nicklas Ritzmann, Oliver Mohnke, Holger Frank Thern

Patent number: 10648329Abstract: A method of estimating one or more properties of an earth formation includes acquiring formation fluid data indicative of a qualitative property of a formation fluid in a near-field region of an earth formation surrounding a borehole, the near field region including a surface of the borehole, and acquiring acoustic data based on acoustic signals transmitted into a far-field region of the formation, and estimating a property of one or more fractures in the far-field region based on the acoustic data. The method also includes combining the formation fluid data and the acoustic data, and estimating, by a processing device, at least one fracture characteristic of the formation in the near-field region and the far-field region based on the combined data.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Nicklas Ritzmann, Frank Walles, Alex Bruns, David Gadzhimirzaev, Sergey Kotov
