20080234939 | Determining Fluid Rate and Phase Information for a Hydrocarbon Well Using Predictive Models - Physical models of wells are used to determine rate and phase composition for fluid produced from or injected into the wells on a near real time and continuous basis. The method can be used to alert operators or others of conditions in a well or field to permit more immediate response. The method can be more tolerant of sensor faults, sensor drift, anomalous data or other occurrences which could otherwise lead to incorrect output. More than one model can be used to permit a hierarchy of calculation such that the rate and phase determination is more tolerant of anomalous data. The calculated rate and phase values from one or more wells can be reconciled against facility data. | 09-25-2008 |
20100023269 | MANAGING FLOW TESTING AND THE RESULTS THEREOF FOR HYDROCARBON WELLS - Automated monitoring and management of well tests of hydrocarbon wells in a production field. Routing of the output of a well to a flow meter, separated from the output from other wells in the field, is detected by a computer system such as a server. Measurement data including the flow as measured by the flow meter, and also other measurements such as temperatures and pressures contemporaneous with the flow meter measurements, are acquired by the computer system; a stable period is identified, over which the flow test measurement data are considered valid. Upon completion of a specified duration or upon a change in the flow environment, the computer system notifies the user of the completion of the flow test. The flow test results can be used to modify predictive well models, with the modification dependent on validation by the user. The system can also plan and schedule future flow tests. | 01-28-2010 |

20110134421 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RAMAN SIGNAL DETECTION - Raman band detection apparatus illuminates a sample using an illumination source that oscillates in wavelength over a range. The source might for example switch between two wavelengths or might traverse the wavelength range. A wavelength sensitive detector detects radiation emitted by the sample at a series of different wavelengths and a signal processor extracts signals that have a temporal correspondence to the wavelength variation of the illumination at the different wavelengths. One or more Raman bands that might be present will produce a distinctive characteristic of the extracted signals plotted against a spectral axis and relatively simple processing of these spectrally-related time-varying components can then enhance the appearance of the Raman band in a spectral representation based on the processed components. For example, such processing might comprise numerical integration across a spectral plot of the components, or the selection and shifting of certain components, for instance negative components, to overlie others within portions of the spectral representation showing the presence of the Raman band. | 06-09-2011 |
