  • Patent number: 11725500
    Abstract: Method for characterizing subterranean formation is described. One method includes inducing one or more fractures in a portion of the subterranean formation. Determining a poroelastic pressure response due to the inducing of the one or more fractures. The poroelastic pressure response is measured by a sensor that is in at least partial hydraulic isolation with the portion of the subterranean formation. Monitoring closure of the one or more fractures via the poroelastic pressure response.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10907469
    Abstract: A method for obtaining hydrocarbon from a reservoir in a subterranean formation is described. The method includes measuring a poromechanic pressure change due to lithostatic load sharing in the subterranean formation. Mapping the poromechanic pressure change to one or more locations in the subterranean formation. Identifying one or more local pressure peaks in the poromechanic pressure change, wherein the one or more local pressure peaks are each marked by a pressure escalation and subsequent pressure depletion. Determining a drained reservoir volume in the hydrocarbon reservoir based on the pressure escalation.

  • Patent number: 10794179
    Abstract: A method for obtaining hydrocarbon from a reservoir in a subterranean formation can include measuring a poromechanic pressure change due to lithostatic load sharing in the subterranean formation. The poromechanic pressure change can then be mapped to one or more locations within the subterranean formation. Once mapped, the method can identify one or more local pressure peaks in the poromechanic pressure change, wherein each of the one or more local pressure peaks are marked by a pressure escalation and subsequent pressure depletion. The method can then determine one or more regions within the reservoir exhibiting single phase hydrocarbon production.
