Abstract

The invention relates to a method for predicting a log beyond the depth of the drill bit of a well. Based on at least one log training curve acquired in a training well of depth larger than that of the drill bit, which curve is fitted to a curve of the log acquired in the well, a model for predicting the log in the well is constructed by means of a supervised machine-learning method. For each training curve, a compound training curve formed by the segment of the training curve fitted to the curve of the well up to the drill bit, and by the segment of the training curve fitted to the other training curves beyond the drill bit, is constructed. The values of the well log are predicted beyond the drill bit depth by applying the model to the compound training curves.

Abstract

A fluidized catalytic cracking ("FCC") system includes a catalyst regenerator configured and adapted to regenerate a spent catalyst feed to produce a regenerated catalyst. The system includes a reactor downstream from an outlet of the catalyst regenerator to receive regenerated catalyst therefrom. The system includes a spent catalyst riser between an outlet of the reactor and an inlet of the regenerator. The spent catalyst riser includes a torch oil injection nozzle configured and adapted to provide heat to the catalyst regenerator. A process for controlling catalyst temperature in an FCC system includes regenerating a spent catalyst feed in a catalyst regenerator to produce a regenerated catalyst feed, withdrawing at least a portion of the regenerated catalyst feed to a to a reactor, receiving a spent catalyst from the reactor in a spent catalyst riser, and heating the spent catalyst in the spent catalyst riser with a torch oil injection nozzle. In embodiments, the reactor is a downer.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for hydroconversion of a feedstock comprising a fraction of less than 50% by weight of plastic pyrolysis oil and/or CSR (102) and a heavy hydrocarbon fraction (101) containing a part of at least 50% by weight having a boiling point of at least 300 °C, and containing sulfur and nitrogen. The hydroconversion uses one or more ebullated-bed or hybrid ebullated-bed reactors (20), and preferably two successive hydroconversion steps. The process according to the invention makes it possible to produce higher quality materials with a lower boiling point, for example for the production of fuels or chemical compounds for petrochemistry, with an improved yield of certain cuts while allowing for facilitated treatment of the hydroconverted products in downstream steps as fixed bed hydrotreatment and maintaining good stability of the unconverted fraction.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a change over time of a concentration of a chemical compound in a fluid, by means of an optical measurement system. A model of the change in absorbance (A) as a function of the concentration is constructed: a plurality of absorption spectra (S1, S9) of the chemical compound are measured, each corresponding to a concentration of the chemical compound, a curve (DI) is defined which intersects each of the absorption spectra (S1, S9) at a single point such that the curve is a bijective function of the absorbance (A) and of the wavelength (L), and the model of the change in absorbance (A) as a function of the concentration is constructed on the basis of the absorbance values at the intersection points and the relative concentration at each absorption spectrum (S1, S9). A change over time of a concentration of the chemical compound is then determined by means of the model thus determined.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for extracting a resource from an underground formation. Based on measurements, a meshed representation having values of properties of the formation in each mesh cell is constructed. To each mesh cell, a score representing the relevance of each property value to the extraction of the resource is attributed. Sets of mesh cells are defined depending on a spatially variable geological constraint and, for each set of mesh cells, weighting coefficients of the properties are determined by applying an analytic hierarchy process. For each mesh cell, a score representative of the extraction potential of the resource is determined by summing the scores attributed to each property weighted by the weighting coefficients of the properties in the mesh cell. Based on the scores representative of extraction potential, a scheme of extraction of the resource is determined and the resource is extracted according to the extraction scheme.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for processing a pyrolysis oil from plastics and/or solid recovered fuels, comprising: a) optional selective hydrogenation of the feedstock; b) hydroconversion in an ebullated bed, entrained bed and/or moving bed, in order to obtain a hydroconverted effluent; c) separation of the effluent from step b) in the presence of an aqueous stream to obtain a gaseous effluent, an aqueous effluent and a hydrocarbon liquid effluent; d) optional fractionation to obtain at least one gaseous stream and a fraction having a boiling point of less than or equal to 150°C and a fraction having a boiling point of greater than 150°C.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for producing alcohol(s), according to which a culture medium containing a sugary carbon-based substrate (2) is introduced into a reaction section (1) comprising a support (4) on which microorganisms are immobilised, in order to produce, by fermentation under the action of said microorganisms, a must (3) enriched in alcohol(s) and one or more fermentation gases, such that the process is carried out continuously in the liquid phase and such that, in order to control the production, the amount of living microorganisms immobilised on the support is monitored without intervention on said supports.
