US Patent:

7054753, May 30, 2006

Filed:

Nov 10, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/985535

Inventors:

Ralph A. Williams - Humble TX, US
Mark C. Robinson - Spring TX, US

International Classification:

G01V 9/00

US Classification:

702 13, 702 16

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of locating oil and gas exploration prospects. A digital model of each of the many geologic strata that compose a basin is created for all or a portion of a basin by digitizing well log data , collecting all digitized well log data in a data base, marking common geological time markers throughout the entire basin and visually displaying the basin in a number of useful views to permit the isolation or identification of oil and gas producing geological formations. This allows for the generation of oil and gas drilling prospects through the extrapolation of productive depositional features into un-drilled portions of the basin. The present invention expedites these processes and allows the available well log data to be viewed in ways not previously possible thereby greatly enabling oil and gas exploration and development in a basin.

Assignee:

Phillips Petroleum Company - Bartlesville OK

International Classification:

C07C 2/58

US Classification:

585724, 585723, 585730

Abstract:

A novel alkylation catalyst is described which is used in processes for alkylating olefin hydrocarbons with isoparaffin hydrocarbons to produce high octane alkylate products suitable for use as a blending component of gasoline motor fuel. The novel catalyst comprises a mixture of a hydrogen halide and a sulfone. The novel alkylation catalyst is utilized in a novel process for alkylating olefin hydrocarbons with isoparaffin hydrocarbons.
