A method for determining a relative permeability of a porous medium uses a segmented structural image generated from a 3D image to produce a pore-scale output from a pore-scale flow simulation. A Darcy-scale flow model is generated by simulating fluid flow on boundary conditions of the pore-scale flow simulation and an initial relative permeability model. The Darcy-scale output is compared to the pore-scale output to determine a degree of match. The initial relative permeability model is updated and the Darcy-scale simulation and inverse modeling steps are repeated until the degree of match falls within a pre-determined tolerance.

The present invention provides a method for estimating a total porosity of rock from a 3D image. The image is segmented to identify primary and secondary porosity. For primary porosity, segmentation identifies resolved pores and solid material having dimensions greater than or equal to voxel size. For secondary porosity, the impact of partial pores having a dimension less than voxel size and/or porous materials are determined. An image porosity based on the resolved pores of the segmented image is determined and a non-wetting liquid capillary pressure curve produced for calculating a resolved porosity correction factor. Secondary porosity system corrections are determined using a partial pore porosity correction factor and/or a porous matrix correction factor from a volume fraction of partial pores and/or porous material, respectively, identified in the segmented image. Saturation is calculated using the image porosity, the resolved porosity correction factor, and the secondary porosity correction factor(s).

Abrégé
A process for the production of glycol from a saccharide-containing feedstock involves catalytically converting the saccharide-containing feedstock in the presence of a heterogenous hydrogenation catalyst and a homogeneous retro-aldol catalyst resulting in a glycol product. Effluent from the conversion zone is contacted with an ion exchange material to adsorb transition metal anions from the retro-aldol catalyst present in the effluent. Adsorbed transition metal anions are then desorbed from the ion exchange material and recycled to the conversion zone. After the contacting step, the effluent is separated into a product stream and a heavies fraction. The product stream is passed to a glycol recovery zone for recovering a purified glycol product.

Abrégé
An energetics tool is inserted downhole in a wellbore tubular, which has a string of at least two axially separated shaped charges. With this tool N axially separated circumferential dents are created, using a string of only M = (N+1)/2 axially separated charges. N is an odd number of 3 or higher. Two additional axially separated dents may be created for each additional axially separated shaped charge that is added to the string. For example, by simultaneously detonating two shaped charges, it is possible to create three axially separated dents. By simultaneously detonating three shaped charges that are axially separated from each other, it is possible to create five axially separated dents. The shaped charges are contained in charge housings that are mechanically interconnected with a longitudinal connecting rod. The shaped charges are simultaneously detonated, whereby pressure waves from neighboring shaped charges interact to cause the additional dents.

A computer-implemented approach has been developed to estimate corrosion rate (100) in a section of a pipe transmitting a corrosive substance. A trained surrogate model (60) is provided to output an estimated value of maximum near-wall velocity (70) of the substance in the pipe section. The estimated value of maximum near-wall velocity (70) is then fed into a computerized electrochemical model (80), together with electrochemical parameters (90) associated with the corrosive substance, which electrochemical model then determines an estimated corrosion rate (100) imposed on the pipe section by the corrosive substance. The surrogate model is trained using results of a full physics-based simulation. Once it has been trained, the surrogate model can generate the estimated value of maximum near-wall velocity (70) much faster than the full physics-based simulation can.

A process for separating a target glycol from a mixture of the target glycol and one or more C2-C8 diols by distillation, involves providing a feed mixture comprising the target glycol and a C2-C8 diol. A water feed stream is directed to a bottom of a first distillation column operating at a temperature greater than or equal to 180°C to separate a first overhead stream comprising a first portion of the target glycol and a first bottoms stream comprising the C2-C8 diol. In a second distillation column, a second overhead stream comprising a second portion of the target glycol is separated from a second bottoms stream comprising the C2-C8 diol. The feed mixture is directed to one of the first distillation column and the second distillation column. The first overhead stream is passed to a reboiler of the second distillation column to transfer heat from the first overhead stream to a portion of the second bottoms stream recycled to the second distillation column.

A process for improving yield of kerosene from a renewable feedstock involves directing a hydroprocessed liquid stream to a lead stripper to separate a lead stripper bottoms stream and a lead stripper overhead stream comprising naphtha, lower and higher boiling point range hydrocarbons and water. Bulk water is removed from the lead stripper overhead stream resulting in an unstabilized hydrocarbon stream, which is passed to a stabilization column to separate a stabilized naphtha-containing stream from the lower boiling point range hydrocarbons. The stabilized naphtha-containing stream is passed to a rectification column to separate a rectification bottoms stream and a naphtha product stream. Kerosene and diesel boiling range product streams are separated from the lead stripper bottoms stream in a vacuum fractionator.

A process for producing kerosene involves reacting a renewable feedstock in a hydroprocessing section under hydroprocessing conditions sufficient to cause a hydroprocessing reaction to produce a hydroprocessed effluent. The hydroprocessed effluent is separated to produce a hydroprocessed liquid stream and a separation system offgas stream. The hydroprocessed liquid stream is directed to a work-up section where gases are stripped to produce a stripped liquid product stream and a stripper offgas stream. A gas stream comprising the separation system offgas stream and/or the stripper offgas stream are directed to a gas-handling section to obtain a pressurized gas stream and a hydrocarbon fraction that is liquid at a pressure in a range from 0 - 1.5 MPaG and a temperature in a range from 0 to 50C. The hydrocarbon fraction is recycled to the work-up section. A kerosene stream separated in the product recovery unit has a higher yield compared to conventional processes.

A process for improving yield of kerosene from a renewable feedstock involves directing a to a lead stripper to separate a lead stripper bottoms stream comprising naphtha and higher boiling point range hydrocarbons and a lead stripper overhead stream. The lead stripper bottoms stream is passed to a naphtha recovery column to separate a vapor stream comprising naphtha and water in an overhead stream from a heavy hydrocarbon product stream. The vapor stream is condensed and water is removed to produce a product naphtha stream. Kerosene and diesel boiling point range product streams are separated from the heavy hydrocarbon product stream in a vacuum fractionator.

Sen, Satyakee
Abrégé
A method for capturing long-range dependencies in seismic images involves dependency-training a backpropagation-enabled process, followed by label-training the dependency-trained backpropagation-enabled process. Dependency-training computes spatial relationships between elements of the training seismic data set. Label-training computes a prediction selected from an occurrence, a value of an attribute, and combinations thereof. The label-trained backpropagation-enabled process is used to capture long-range dependencies in a non-training seismic data set by computing a prediction selected from the group consisting of a geologic feature occurrence, a geophysical property occurrence, a hydrocarbon occurrence, an attribute of subsurface data, and combinations thereof.

Abrégé
Methods and systems for steam production are provided. Methods include providing feedwater having an electrical conductivity of less than 200 μS/cm to an electrode boiler, andconverting the feedwater to saturated steam by the electrode boiler. The saturated steam is provided as a first fluid to a heat exchange component. Water having an electrical conductivity of more than 200 μS/cm is provided to the heat exchange component as a second fluid, where the second fluid is heated through indirect thermal transfer with the saturated steam to generate wet steam. The saturated steam is at least partially condensed in the heat exchange componentthrough the indirect thermal transfer with the second fluid. At least a portion of the thus obtained condensed fluid is fed back to the electrode boiler for use as part of the low-conductivity water to generate said saturated steam.
