ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 1/40, G01L 27/00
US Classification:
702 7, 702 8, 702 9, 702100
Abstract:
A hydrocarbon exploration method is disclosed for generating anisotropic resistivity models of a subsurface reservoir from seismic and well data using a rock physics model. In one embodiment, the method comprises: selecting wells within a region of interest (); obtaining a plurality of rock properties () and adjusting selected rock parameters () in the calibration of the rock physics model at the well locations; inverting porosity and shale content from seismic data (); propagating the calibrated rock physics model to the region of interest () and calculating effective resistivity for the entire region of interest (). The inventive method also provides for analyzing the uncertainty associated with the prediction of the resistivity volume.

International Classification:
G06G 7/50, G06F 17/50, G06F 17/10, G06Q 10/00
US Classification:
705 7, 703 1, 703 2, 703 10
Abstract:
A hydrocarbon exploration method is disclosed for developing a model of at least one effective material property of a subsurface reservoir as a function of the composition and structure of the reservoir rock. In one embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining a 3D image () of a rock sample characteristic of a reservoir of interest (); segmenting the 3D image into compositional classes () based on similarities in mineralogy, structure and spatial distribution; selecting a model () that relates an effective material property of interest to the volume fractions of each compositional class; and determining the parameters of the model (). The model may be used to assess the commercial potential of the subsurface reservoir ().

International Classification:
G01V 3/18, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 6
Abstract:
Method for predicting physical properties of a source rock formation wherein an inclusion-based () mathematical rock physics model () is constructed that treats organic matter as solid inclusions, solid background, or both, and relates anisotropic elastic and electric properties of source rock to in-situ rock and fluid properties (). The model is calibrated with well log data and may be used to forward model calculate effective anisotropic elastic () and electrical () properties of the source rock formation, or by inversion (-) of sonic and resistivity log data to calculate total organic carbon () in terms of a difference () between elastic and electrical properties of the source rock.
