Publication number: 20160063150Abstract: Performing an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) injection operation in an oilfield having a reservoir may include obtaining a EOR scenarios that each include a chemical agent, obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) porous solid image of a core sample, and generating a 3D pore scale model from the 3D porous solid image. The core sample is a 3D porous medium representing a portion of the oilfield. The 3D pore scale model describes a physical pore structure in the 3D porous medium. Simulations are performed using the EOR scenarios to obtain simulation results by, for each EOR scenario, simulating, on the first 3D pore scale model, the EOR injection operation using the chemical agent specified by the EOR scenario to generate a simulation result. A comparative analysis of the simulation results is performed to obtain a selected chemical agent. Further, an operation is performed using the selected chemical agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2013Publication date: March 3, 2016Inventors: Sergey Sergeevich Safonov, Oleg Yirievich Dinariev, Nikolay Vyacheslavovich Evseev, Omer M.

Publication number: 20150204170Abstract: Injecting an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agent into a subterranean formation in at least one injection interval of a hydrocarbon well extending into the subterranean formation, then producing fluid from the formation from at least one production interval of the same hydrocarbon well, and not from a neighboring well. Logging data associated with at least one of the formation, the injected EOR agent and the produced fluid may then be obtained and utilized in assessing effectiveness of the EOR agent injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Cosan Ayan, Omer M.

Publication number: 20140376685Abstract: The method for 3D mineral mapping of a rock sample comprises the steps of defining a total mineral content of a sample and calculating X-ray attenuation coefficients for the defined minerals. X-ray micro/nanoCT scanning of the sample is performed and its three-dimensional microstructure image in gray scale is obtained. Characteristic grayscale levels in the image corresponding to calculated X-ray attenuation coefficients and accordingly to the minerals are allocated and the 3D mineral map of the interior of the sample is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2011Publication date: December 25, 2014Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Dmitry Anatolievich Koroteev, Albina Rishatovna Mutina, Alexander Nikolaevich Nadeev, Omer M.

Patent number: 7774184Abstract: Computer-based method and system are disclosed for conduction a brownfield assessment. The system/method involves a workflow manager that standardizes the tasks needed to be performed during the brownfield assessment and streamlines the completion of these tasks. The workflow manager incorporates expert knowledge and best practices identified over time for previous brownfield assessments. The expert knowledge and best practices are then applied automatically through operation of the workflow manager. Such an arrangement can result in significantly reduced completion time as well as more consistent deliverables from engineer to engineer and project to project.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Bulent Balci, Omer M.

Patent number: 7739089Abstract: The invention relates to a method of performing a numerical model study to accurately forecast a production of a well in a reservoir. The method involves determining a property distribution of the reservoir using a three dimensional (3D) structure and property model for providing an estimate of a 3D structure, wherein the estimate of the 3D structure includes the property distribution, determining a grid system, including a grid and layering mechanism that is superimposed on said 3D structure and said property distribution associated with the digital 3D structure and property model, using a 3D simulator grid system, and determining a rock model using an initial 3D reservoir simulator in response to the estimate of the property distribution associated with the digital 3D structure and property model and the grid system associated with the 3D simulator grid system, wherein the rock model is used to accurately forecast the production of the well in the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Omer M.
