  • Ensemble based decision making
    Patent number: 10262280
    Abstract: A method for accelerating the decision making process for reservoir risk management is described. In particular, an ensemble based decisions and filter are used to quickly compare different information scenarios to determine the best strategy for developing a hydrocarbon-containing reservoir.
    Type: Grant

  • Prediction of permeability from capillary pressure curves derived from nuclear magnetic resonance pore size distributions
    Patent number: 6008645
    Abstract: Capillary pressure curves can be derived from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pore size distributions. These derived capillary pressure curves can be used to derive the displacement pressure, the fractional bulk volume of mercury at infinite pressure and a geometrical factor. These factors can be used to accurately predict permeability from an NMR derived capillary pressure curve.
