Abstract: A method is used to determine the permeability of a hydraulic fracture. The method includes obtaining formation parameters and a plurality of formation samples, dividing the plurality of formation samples into a first group and a second group, measuring mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group, soaking the second group in a fracturing fluid for a plurality of time periods, and measuring, after each soaking time period, the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the second group. The soaking the second group in the fracturing fluid includes soaking the second group in a plurality of different fracturing fluids. The method further includes building, using a computer processor, a proppant-rock interaction model based, at least in part, on the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group and the second group, and determining, using the computer processor, the permeability of a hydraulic fracture based, at least in part, on the proppant-rock interaction model and the formation parameters.

Abstract: A method for determining SRV and EUR includes: monitoring an amount and a density of a hydrocarbon fluid produced from the production well; obtaining a cumulative amount of the fluid that has accumulated from a beginning of production; obtaining a relationship between the cumulative amount and a square root of the time; determining a deviation point where the relationship changes from linear to non-linear; determining a deviation amount of the fluid corresponding to the deviation point; determining a first density of the hydrocarbon fluid at the beginning of production, a second density at a pore pressure equal to a bottom hole pressure in the production well, a first porosity at the beginning of production, and a second porosity for a pore pressure equal to the bottom hole pressure; and determining SRV and the EUR based on the deviation amount, the first and second densities, and the first and second porosities.

Abstract: A method for predicting well production is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a training data set for a machine learning (ML) model that generates predicted well production data based on observed data of interest, generating multiple sets of initial guesses of model parameters of the ML model, using an ML algorithm applied to the training data set to generate multiple individually trained ML models based the multiple sets of initial model parameters, comparing a validation data set and respective predicted well production data of the individually trained ML models to generate a ranking, selecting top-ranked individually trained ML models based on the ranking, using the data of interest as input to the top-ranked individually trained ML models to generate a set of individual predicted well production data, and generating a final predicted well production data based on the set of individual predicted well production data.

Abstract: A method for monitoring waterfront movement in a subsurface formation involves performing forward modeling of at least one deep electromagnetic survey of the waterfront movement, and determining locations for installing an electrically insulating spacer between well liners to form an on-demand electromagnetic source electrode. Based on the forward modeling, repeat survey time intervals are predicted. The method involves, during well completion, installing the electrically insulating spacer between the well liners in a reservoir to form at least one on-demand electromagnetic source electrode, and installing the electrically insulating spacer between the plurality of well liners in a reservoir to form an on-demand electromagnetic receiver electrode. A waterfront survey is performed by conveying a production logging tool into a well that temporarily converts the well liners into an on-demand electromagnetic source electrode and an on-demand receiver electrode, and inverse modeling of the waterfront survey is performed to produce a water saturation image.

Abstract: A system includes an engine having a main combustion chamber and a prechamber containing a spark plug. The prechamber is in fluid communication with the main combustion chamber through at least one orifice. An engine intake line provides intake air to the engine. An engine exhaust line receives exhaust gases from the engine. An exhaust gas recirculation line transports a portion of the exhaust gases from the engine exhaust line to the engine intake line, forming an exhaust gas recirculation loop through the engine. The system includes a reformer having a reactor containing a catalyst-coated substrate. The reformer generates a gaseous reformate from a fuel. The system includes a prechamber feed line to transport a stream of the gaseous reformate from the reformer to the prechamber.

Abstract: A method of measuring cement volumetric changes includes loading a sample cement into a flexible container and surrounding the flexible container by a column of fluid in a chamber. The temperature of the column of fluid is adjusted to a cement setting temperature, and the sample cement is allowed to set over several hours. The pressure of the column of fluid is adjusted to a test pressure. The temperature of the column of fluid in the chamber is adjusted to induce volumetric changes in the set cement. As the volume of the set cement changes, fluid volume adjustments are applied to the column of fluid in the chamber to maintain the pressure of the column of fluid in the chamber constant at the test pressure. The volumetric changes in the set cement are determined from the fluid volume adjustments applied to the column of fluid in the chamber.

Abstract: An active prechamber device may include a prechamber housing longitudinally aligned with a main axis. The active prechamber device may also include a prechamber nozzle forming a cap at an end of the prechamber housing. The prechamber nozzle and prechamber housing may define a prechamber space that extends along the main axis. The prechamber nozzle may have a plurality of orifices fluidly connected to the prechamber space.
