20090139322	DOWNHOLE 4D PRESSURE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERMEABILITY CHARACTERIZATION - A system for making pressure measurements in a formation surrounding a wellbore includes a sensor which, in use, is positioned into direct pressure communication with the formation from a predetermined location in the wellbore, and a means for isolating the sensor, when in use, from pressure effects arising from the wellbore.	06-04-2009
20100076740	SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WELL TEST DESIGN AND INTERPRETATION - A method and system for well test design and interpretation, comprising a testing manager system, which includes at least one of testing hardware and gauge metrology; a geological model coupled to the testing manager system; a dynamic and static engineering data acquisition system coupled to the geological model; and a reservoir modeling system coupled to the dynamic and static engineering data acquisition system to generate a reservoir model. Also provided is a method and computer program for controlling, driving, and enabling the devices, systems, and subsystems presented herein through interaction with a human user, or the like.	03-25-2010
20100126717	INSTRUMENTED FORMATION TESTER FOR INJECTING AND MONITORING OF FLUIDS - An example instrumented formation tester for injecting fluids and monitoring of fluids described herein includes a downhole tool which can be deployed in a wellbore via a wireline or a drill string. The downhole tool may facilitate the injection of fluids into an underground formation, and the monitoring of the directions in which the injected fluids flow in the formation in an open hole environment. In particular, the downhole tool may be configured for removing the mud cake from a portion of the wellbore wall for facilitating a fluid communication with the formation to be tested.	05-27-2010

20080314582	TARGETED MEASUREMENTS FOR FORMATION EVALUATION AND RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION - A downhole-reconfigurable tool string is utilized to obtain targeted measurements for formation evaluation and reservoir characterization. Tool string hardware and corresponding analysis software are dynamically adjusted to meet specific reservoir description needs identified during or before the logging run with the downhole-reconfigurable tool string. A technique for utilizing the downhole-reconfigurable tool string includes four different steps. The first step includes detecting first order features and identifying second order features. The second step includes enhancing measurements relative to the second order features by reconfiguring tool hardware to extract at least the desired information of the reservoir in terms of its static and dynamic properties, and software focusing to enhance the sensitivity to a particular reservoir attribute. The third step is performing an inversion to reconstruct the reservoir property as accurately as possible. The fourth step is using these properties and the planned production/injection data to recommend suitable monitoring schema.	12-25-2008

20080210420	METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE DETERMINATION OF EARTH FORMATION PROPERTIES - Methods and apparatus for improving the determination of at least one multiphase flow parameter of an earth formation comprising propagating within the formation a first salinity front, determining a first value of the at least one multiphase flow parameter, propagating in the formation a second salinity front and improving the determination of the at least one multiphase flow parameter from the first value for the at least one multiphase flow parameter and a saturation profile associated with the first and second salinity fronts within the formation.	09-04-2008
20090255669	TOOL AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING FORMATION PARAMETER - An apparatus and method of measuring a parameter characteristic of a rock formation in an oil well is provided with a device for generating a sensing field within a volume of the rock formation and a device for causing a flow through the volume in the presence of the sensing field, further including sensors responsive to changes in the volume, wherein a sensor response is indicative of the amounts of fluid, particularly hydrocarbon and water saturations and irreducible hydrocarbon and water saturations. Measurements can be made before the flow affects the measuring volume and after onset of the flow through the measuring volume.	10-15-2009
20100274490	THICKNESS-INDEPENDENT COMPUTATION OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL PERMEABILITY - A method for determining permeability of a reservoir using a packer-probe formation testing tool. The elements of the method include generating, using a dual packer tool module, fluid flows from the reservoir into a wellbore, obtaining pressure data associated with the fluid flows using an observation probe tool module, wherein the packer-probe formation testing tool comprises the dual packer module and the observation probe tool module, identifying a portion of the pressure data corresponding to a spherical flow regime, determining horizontal permeability based on the portion of the pressure data, and displaying an output generated using the horizontal permeability.	10-28-2010
