  • Patent number: 11734914
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for evaluating geological and engineering sweet spots in an unconventional reservoir based on dual-energy computed tomography (CT) comprises acquiring and preprocessing a high-energy CT image and a low-energy CT image of a core from a core region, acquiring and preprocessing a high-energy CT image and a low-energy CT image of a core from a core reference sample, calculating a density and an effective atomic number of each pixel in the core region of a target reservoir, acquiring a geological sweet spot index and an engineering sweet spot index, acquiring evaluation results of geological and engineering sweet spots at different depths of the core region in the target reservoir, and matching the evaluation results to acquire reservoir types corresponding to the different depths of the core region in the target reservoir. The present disclosure achieves accurate and efficient reservoir evaluation and classification.

  • Patent number: 11519866
    Abstract: A multifunctional experimental system for in-situ simulation of a gas hydrate includes a computed tomography (CT) scanning device, a reactor, and a pipeline system. The reactor includes: a reactor upper end cover, a reactor lower end cover, a reactor housing and a clamp holder. A first pipeline channel is formed at a top, an upper groove is formed at a bottom, and a first upper joint is arranged in the upper groove. A second pipeline channel is formed at a side, a lower groove is formed at a top, and a first lower joint is arranged in the lower groove; where two ends of the reactor housing are respectively fixed to the reactor upper end cover and the reactor lower end cover. A top end of the clamp holder is provided with a second upper joint, a bottom end of the clamp holder is provided with a second lower joint.

  • Patent number: 11436738
    Abstract: The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and specifically provides a rock stratification identification method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring multiple sets of CT slice images of a rock, where each set of the CT slice images include a first CT slice image and a second CT slice image, the first CT slice image and the second CT slice image are acquired by scanning a same depth section of the rock, scanning energy corresponding to the first CT slice image is different form scanning energy corresponding to the second CT slice image; determining multiple dual energy indices of the rock according to the multiple sets of CT slice images; and determining a rock stratification according to the multiple dual energy indices, which can identify stratification of a large-scale rock by using CT.
