Montaron

Barnard Montaron, Paris FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100264915FORMATION TESTING AND EVALUATION USING LOCALIZED INJECTION - Evaluating a formation by lowering a downhole tool in a wellbore penetrating the formation, injecting a fluid into the formation at an injection zone via the downhole tool, and using a formation evaluation sensor to perform a measurement at each of a plurality of locations in the wellbore each proximate the injection zone. At least two of the plurality of measurements are compared, and a formation property is determined based on the comparison.10-21-2010

Bernard Montaron, Dubai AE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100108316METHOD OF IMPROVING RECOVERY FROM HYDROCARBON RESERVOIRS - A method of increasing the recovery of hydrocarbons from a highly fractured reservoir is described using the steps of injecting into the reservoir a membrane-forming fluid to form a membrane over the surface of at least part of exposed formation, injecting into the reservoir a fluid to establish a chemical potential gradient across the membrane and letting fluid enter the formation across the membrane to increase the pressure inside the formation and to force additional hydrocarbon from the formation.05-06-2010

Bernard Montaron, Clamart FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090139322DOWNHOLE 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
20090292472Method for the Characterization of Geological Formations - A method for determining the water saturation of an underground formation traversed by a borehole, the method composing: 11-26-2009

Bernard Montaron, Paris FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090159286METHOD OF TREATING SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIRS - A method of fracturing a rock formation is provided including placing through a wellbore penetrating the rock formation propellants in a cavity located at a radial distance from the wellbore and igniting the propellants to cause a pressure sufficient to fracture the formation.06-25-2009
20090272531HYDROCARBON RECOVERY TESTING METHOD - A method of testing the response of a subterranean formation to a formation treatment is described including the injection of a treatment fluid and the production of formation fluids from two separate boreholes or two boreholes from a single well such that the treatment fluid sweeps the formation between the two boreholes, and the use of downhole monitoring devices to determine a volume swept by the treatment fluid.11-05-2009

Bernard Montaron, Saint Marcel-Paulel FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110120771GAS CUTTING BOREHOLE DRILLING APPARATUS - A drilling apparatus for drilling boreholes in an underground formation. The drilling apparatus comprises a tool body that can be positioned in a borehole where drilling is to take place. The apparatus further comprises a gas cutting torch having a nozzle, a supply of a cutting gas connected to the gas cutting torch. and means for advancing the tool body through the borehole as drilling takes place.05-26-2011
20120043966Method and Apparatus for Determining Formation Water Saturation During Drilling - A method for determining water saturation in a subsurface formation include determining an invasion depth in the formation from a plurality of measurements made within a wellbore drilled through the formation. The measurements have different lateral depths of investigation into the formation. Carbon and oxygen in the formation are measured at substantially a same longitudinal position as at a position of the determining the invasion depth. The measured carbon and oxygen and the invasion depth are used to determine the water saturation in a substantially uninvaded part of the formation.02-23-2012

Bernard A. Montaron, Saint Marcel-Paulel FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120043078METHODS FOR TESTING STIMULATION FLUIDS - A method of testing the performance of a stimulation fluid by placing a sample of the stimulation fluid or a precursor thereof into the body of a downhole tool, positioning the tool in juxtaposition with a rock face at a downhole location, forming a sealing contact between the rock face and the tool; and injecting the sample into the rock face while monitoring pressure and/or flow rates during the injection of the sample into and/or production of formation fluid from the rock face to derive a measure of the effectiveness of the stimulation fluid in creating openings in the rock face.02-23-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100217563MODELING A RESERVOIR USING A COMPARTMENT MODEL AND A GEOMECHANICAL MODEL - An efficient and cost-effective technique is provided to perform modeling of a reservoir in a subterranean structure. A compartment model of fluid compartments in a reservoir is generated, and based on the compartment model and a geomechanical model of the subterranean structure, movement of a ground surface due to volumetric change of the compartments is calculated. Satellite measurements of the ground surface are received over time, where the received satellite measurements of the ground surface over time indicate movement of the ground surface. The movement of the ground surface indicated by the received satellite measurements is compared with the calculated movement, and based on the comparing, one or more properties of the geomechanical model are adjusted.08-26-2010
