Rock Assay For Predicting Oil Or Gas In Target Reservoirs

US Patent:
7153688, Dec 26, 2006
Filed:
Dec 7, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/006159
Inventors:
Frank D. Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, L.L.C - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 33/24
G01N 33/22
US Classification:
436 32, 7315209, 7315211, 436 25, 436 29, 436 31, 436141
Abstract:
The present invention relates to assays for ascribing catalytic activity to rock samples by virtue of zero-valent transition metals potentially being present within the sample. Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to novel assays for measuring intrinsic paleocatalytic activities (k) of sedimentary rocks for converting oil to gas and projecting the activities to the subsurface based on the measured linear relationship between ln(k) and temperature (T).

Assays For Zero-Valent Transition Metals In Sedimentary Rocks Using Carbon Monoxide With Application To Oil And Gas Exploration

US Patent:
7435597, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
Apr 21, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/830266
Inventors:
Frank D. Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, L.L.C. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 33/20
G01N 33/24
US Classification:
436 31, 7315201, 436 25, 436 26, 436 29, 436 73, 436 84, 436161, 436181, 436182
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel assays for zero-valent transition metals. The novel assays of the present invention are generally methods or processes for quantitatively and/or qualitatively evaluating the presence of zero-valent transition metals on and/or within samples. Such assays generally involve a digestion process whereby the sample is exposed to carbon monoxide. Transition metals, if present in or on the sample and if contacted by the carbon monoxide, are extracted by the carbon monoxide as metal carbonyl species, the presence of which confirms the presence of transition metals. Such novel assays have enormous predictive power in oil and gas exploration.

In Situ Conversion Of Heavy Hydrocarbons To Catalytic Gas

US Patent:
7845414, Dec 7, 2010
Filed:
Jan 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/159962
Inventors:
Frank D. Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, L.L.C. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/00
E21B 36/00
US Classification:
166369, 1663051, 166302, 481277
Abstract:
A method of producing natural gas from a heavy hydrocarbon-containing subterranean formation includes: placing a catalyst having at least one transition metal into the formation, injecting an anoxic stimulation gas into the formation, and collecting the natural gas generated in the formation. The method may be performed outside the context of a subterranean formation under controlled conditions. Thus, a method of producing natural gas from bitumen includes: providing an anoxic mixture of heavy hydrocarbons and a catalyst having at least one transition metal, adding an anoxic stimulation gas to the mixture, and heating the mixture in the presence of the stimulation gas.

In Situ Conversion Of Heavy Hydrocarbons To Catalytic Gas

US Patent:
8091643, Jan 10, 2012
Filed:
Apr 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/761375
Inventors:
Frank D. Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 43/16
US Classification:
166309, 1663081, 166401
Abstract:
A method of producing natural gas from a heavy hydrocarbon-containing subterranean formation includes: placing a catalyst comprising a transition metal into the formation, injecting an anoxic stimulation gas into the formation, and collecting the natural gas generated in the formation. The method may be performed outside the context of a subterranean formation under controlled conditions. Thus, a method of producing natural gas from bitumen includes: providing an anoxic mixture of heavy hydrocarbons and a catalyst having a transition metal, adding an anoxic stimulation gas to the mixture, and heating the mixture in the presence of the stimulation gas.

Generating Natural Gas From Heavy Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
8273937, Sep 25, 2012
Filed:
Dec 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/962302
Inventors:
Frank D. Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
C07C 4/00
US Classification:
585752, 585700, 585708, 208113, 208118, 208119, 208121, 208146, 208150
Abstract:
Methods for producing in a reactor natural gas from heavy hydrocarbons. A mixture of heavy hydrocarbons and a catalyst comprising a transition metal are heated under an anoxic condition in a reactor. Natural gas, e. g. , catalytic natural gas, is generated from the heavy hydrocarbons by a disproportionation reaction promoted by the catalyst. The anoxic condition can be created by flowing an anoxic stimulation gas in the reactor.

Determining Metal Content Of Source Rock During Well Logging

US Patent:
2005025, Nov 10, 2005
Filed:
Jun 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/168284
Inventors:
Frank Mango - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Petroleum Habitats, LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N033/24
US Classification:
436031000, 166254200
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel assays for zero-valent transition metals, and the use of such assays in well logging protocols. The novel assays of the present invention are generally methods or processes for quantitatively and/or qualitatively evaluating the presence of zero-valent transition metals on and/or within samples. Such assays generally involve a digestion process whereby the sample is exposed to carbon monoxide. Transition metals, if present in or on the sample and if contacted by the carbon monoxide, are extracted by the carbon monoxide as metal carbonyl species, the presence of which confirms the presence of transition metals. Such novel assays have enormous predictive power in oil and gas exploration.
