Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards systems and method for characterizing wettability. Embodiments may include acquiring, using at least one processor, multi-physics data and transforming the multi-physics data into transformed data that is more sensitive to wettability than the multi-physics data. Embodiments may further include processing, using a data processing engine, the acquired and transformed data using at least one of a data correlation technique and an inversion technique.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- acquiring, using at least one processor, multi-physics data;
- transforming, using the at least one processor, the multi-physics data into transformed data, wherein transforming the multi-physics data comprises performing a non-linear data transform using a prior knowledge of wettability;
- processing, using a data processing engine, the acquired and transformed data using at least one of a data correlation technique and an inversion technique to generate output data, wherein the output data provides an improved wettability characterization as compared to processing the acquired data alone;
- delivering the output data to a reservoir tool;
- and
- altering an operation of the reservoir tool in response to the output data received by the reservoir tool.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to acquire multi-physics data and transform, using the at least one processor, the multi-physics data into transformed data, wherein transforming the multi-physics data comprises performing a non-linear data transform using a prior knowledge of wettability;
- a data processing engine configured to process the acquired and transformed data using at least one of a data correlation technique and an inversion technique to generate output data, wherein the output data provides an improved wettability characterization as compared to processing the acquired data alone;
- and
- a reservoir tool configured to receive the output data and alter an operation of the reservoir tool in response to the output data received by the reservoir tool.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a processor result in one or more operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring, using at least one processor, multi-physics data;
- transforming, using the at least one processor, the multi-physics data into transformed data, wherein transforming the multi-physics data comprises performing a non-linear data transform using a prior knowledge of wettability;
- and
- processing, using a data processing engine, the acquired and transformed data using at least one of a data correlation technique and an inversion technique to generate output data, wherein the output data provides an improved wettability characterization as compared to processing the acquired data alone, wherein the processor is configured to deliver the output data to a reservoir tool, and wherein the reservoir tool is configured to alter an operation of the reservoir tool in response to the output data received from the processor.
