Latest Patents
Amer Hanif holds a patent titled "Method for characterizing organic rich rock maturity and producibility." This patent discloses a method for identifying zones of high producibility in shale reservoirs. The method involves obtaining a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content and an organic sulfur content of a formation interval through geochemical measurements. Additionally, it determines a dielectric dispersion response of the formation interval using dielectric measurements. The dielectric dispersion response is processed to obtain a pore system tortuosity parameter. This parameter is then correlated with the ratio of the organic sulfur content to the TOC content to identify the presence of zones of mature kerogen with varying hydrocarbon producibility.
