  • Publication number: 20190227087
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, via an network interface of a cloud-based infrastructure, a request for analysis of rock material properties based at least in part on a digital, image-based model of the rock material; responsive to the request, executing the analysis via provisioning of one or more resources of the cloud-based infrastructure to generate analysis results; and transmitting information based at least in part on the analysis results.

  • Patent number: 6675892
    Abstract: A technique includes measuring a first pressure of well fluid in a first region. The well fluid is produced from a formation into the first region. A second pressure of well fluid is measured in a second region. The second region is isolated from the first region, and the well fluid in the second region is in communication with the formation characteristics (skin, horizontal permeability or vertical permeability, as examples) of the formation is determined from the first and second measured pressures.

  • Patent number: 5467823
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of monitoring subsurface formations containing at least one fluid reservoir and traversed by at least one well, by means of at least one sensor responsive to a parameter related to fluids, comprising the steps of:lowering the sensor into the well to a depth level corresponding to the reservoir;fixedly positioning said sensor at said depth while isolating the section of the well where the sensor is located from the rest of the well and providing fluid communication between the sensor and the reservoir.
