Sensitivity study of borehole-to-surface and crosswell electromagnetic measurements acquired with energized steel casing to water displacement in hydrocarbon-bearing layers
Pardo, D.
; Torres-Verdin, C.; Zhang, Z. (2008-12-31)
We study the theoretical response of electromagnetically energized steel casing in the presence of subsurface variations of electrical resistivity. Casing is energized with a finite-size solenoid antenna located along the ... -
Energy-norm-based and goal-oriented automatic hp adaptivity for electromagnetics: Application to waveguide Discontinuities
Garcia-Castillo, L.E.; Pardo, D.; Demkowicz, L. (2008-12-31)
The finite-element method (FEM) enables the use of adapted meshes. The simultaneous combination of h (local variations in element size) and p (local variations in the polynomial order of approximation) refinements, i.e., ... -
Simulation of DC dual-laterolog measurements in complex formations: A Fourier-series approach with nonorthogonal coordinates and self-adapting finite elements
Nam, M.J.; Pardo, D.; Torres-Verdin, C. (2009-12-31)
Dual laterolog (DLL) makes use of a galvanic conduction principle to focus electrical currents into rock formations, thereby minimizing shoulder and borehole effects in the measurement of formation resistivity. The tool ... -
Performance of a multi-frontal parallel direct solver for hp-finite element method
Paszynski, M.; Pardo, D.; Torres-Verdin, C. (2009-12-31)
In this paper we present the performance of our parallel multi-frontal direct solver when applied to solve linear systems of equations resulting from discretizations of a hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM). The hp-FEM ... -
On global and local mesh refinements by a generalized conforming bisection algorithm

Arithmetic method of double-injection-electrode model for resistivity measurement through metal casing
Chen, Q.; Pardo, D.; Li, H.-B.; Wang, F.-R.; Ye, Q.-Z. (2010-12-31)
Through-casing resistivity (TCR) measurement instruments such as Cased Hole Formation Resistivity are extensively used for the dynamic monitoring of oil reservoirs during the production phase in oil wells to evaluate the ... -
High-frequency analysis of the efficiency of a local approximate DtN2 boundary condition for prolate spheroidal-shaped boundaries

We propose a new iterative method for post processing through casing resistivity (TCR) measurements. This method can be seen as a correction or extension of Kaufman´s theory to more complex scenarios, in which the casing ... -
Compensation effect analysis in DIE method for through-casing measuring formation resistivity
Qing, C.; Pardo, D.; Hong-bin, L.; Fu-rong, W. (2011-08)
The measuring technique based on Double-Injection-Electrodes (DIE) and its compensation arithmetic method have been proven to be very useful for eliminating the errors caused by electrode-scale mechanical tolerances in ... -
