  • Method and system for permeability calculation using production logs for horizontal wells, using a downhole tool
    Patent number: 9341557
    Abstract: A downhole tool for permeability calculation includes a body configured for insertion into and retraction from a horizontal well, and coupled with a computer system that includes an interface operable to receive (i) fluid properties associated with the horizontal well, under downhole production logging conditions; (ii) relative permeability to oil and relative permeability to water, for the horizontal well; and (iii) actual production logging data associated with the horizontal well. The computer system may also include one or more processors that are operable to (i) determine an approximate upper boundary and an approximate lower boundary of the horizontal well; (ii) divide the horizontal well into a plurality of well segments; and (iii) calculate, for each respective well segment, a horizontal permeability.

  • Method and system for permeability calculation using production logs for horizontal wells
    Patent number: 9341060
    Abstract: A method for permeability calculation includes determining fluid properties associated with a horizontal well, relative permeability to oil and relative permeability to water, for the horizontal well, and an approximate upper boundary and an approximate lower boundary of the horizontal well. In accordance with a particular embodiment, the horizontal well may be divided into a plurality of well segments. Actual production logging data associated with the horizontal well may be received at an interface. For each respective well segment, a horizontal permeability is calculated using the fluid properties, relative permeability to oil, relative permeability to water and actual production logging data.
