Appl. No.:

17/154831

Inventors:

- Dhahran, SA
Shannon L. Eichmann - Katy TX, US
David Jacobi - Houston TX, US
Katherine Leigh Hull - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

G01N 24/08
G01N 33/28
G01R 33/36

Abstract:

A pyrolysis system for evaluating a source rock sample from a subterranean reservoir and methods are described. The pyrolysis system includes a reactor vessel including a body with an open end, a cover attachable to the body, a heating system, a collector assembly. The body and the cover define a sealable chamber; a source rock sample holder sized to be received inside the sealable chamber; and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a direct sensor assembly associated with the source rock sample holder, sized to be received inside the sealable chamber, and operable to measure properties of the source rock sample in the source rock sample holder; and a pyrolysis products sensor assembly in fluid communication with the collector assembly of the reactor vessel.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and computer-implemented methods are provided for the sensing and prediction of properties of source rock. Disclosed here is a method of predicting the maturity of a source rock that includes obtaining a plurality of data of a sample source rock from a plurality of data acquisition devices placed in vicinity of the sample source rock and analyzing the received data using a predictive correlation to determine maturity of the sample source rock. The predictive correlation is generated by applying a machine learning model to correlate the plurality of data acquired from a plurality of representative source rocks with a plurality of properties of the plurality of representative source rocks.
