Vitaly Anatolievich Khoriakov has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Optimized acidizing of a production well near aquifer
    Patent number: 10337307
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an optimal acid placement design for a production well near an aquifer are provided. An optimal acid placement that is determined accounts for the drawdown from heel to toe of the production well and reservoir heterogeneity to thereby address the issue of water breakthrough from the nearby aquifer and improve hydrocarbon recovery.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 2, 2019
    Assignee: LANDMARK GRAPHICS CORPORATION

  • Optimized flow control device properties for accumulated gas injection
    Patent number: 10287856
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product are provided for determining flow control device (FCD) properties for a gas injection well that would yield a prescribed shape of a gas injection front according to a target gas injection profile. An FCD distribution function is adjusted based on the results of a simulation of injected gas flow distribution in the gas injection well over a period of time. The simulation and resulting adjustment of the FCD distribution function is repeated until a convergence between a shape of a displaced oil volume front obtained using the adjusted flow control device distribution function and a target gas injection profile is reached within a predetermined convergence range. The FCD properties are then determined based on the adjusted FCD distribution function.
