Patent number: 10386529Abstract: A method for determining a level of organic maturity of a shale gas formation includes inverting multifrequency complex conductivity data to estimate a volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite. The inversion is validated using estimates of the volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite. The volume fraction of graphite and turbostatic carbon nanostructures is correlated to a level of organic maturity log of the shale gas formation. The level of organic maturity log is validated using sulfur content obtained from pyrolysis or vitrinite reflectance. A variation of an electromagnetic response due to the volume fraction of graphite, turbostatic carbon nanostructures, and pyrite is quantified. The electromagnetic response is modified by removing the quantified variation to obtain resistivity and permittivity values.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Siddharth Misra, John Rasmus, Dean Homan, Carlos Torres-Verdin

Patent number: 10330618Abstract: A method to estimate water saturation in electromagnetic measurements includes making an electromagnetic measurement and performing at least one of (a) creating an analytical forward model of the EM measurement, (b) creating a numerical finite difference forward model of the EM measurement, and (c) performing an inversion. The method also includes removing at least one petrophysically-adverse alteration of EM measurements in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 MHz. A petrophysically-adverse alteration is due to the presence of at least one of the following: pyrite, graphitic-precursors, magnetite, and other conductive minerals.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Siddharth Misra, John Rasmus, Dean Homan

Patent number: 10036827Abstract: A method for calibrating an electromagnetic core analysis tool is disclosed. The method includes disposing a tilted test loop inside of or outside of a tool having more than one antenna. A uniform test pack, a layered test pack, and an effective media test pack are each disposed in the tool. A signal is induced in a receiver antenna in the tool when a second antenna is energized with a known current of a known frequency. The induced signal is measured and a calibration gain and offset is determined. A corrected signal is produced and compared with the determined signal based on a forward model.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Dean Homan, Siddharth Misra, John Rasmus, Gerald N.
