Abstract:
A method for predicting hydrocarbon recovery in a subterranean formation may include generating pre-heating data associated with fracturing in a sample from the subterranean formation, determining a first fractal pattern based upon the pre-heating data, and heating the sample with RF power to cause additional fracturing in the sample. The method may include generating post-heating data associated with additional fracturing in the sample after heating with RF power, determining a second fractal pattern based upon the post-heating data, detecting change between the first fractal pattern and the second fractal pattern, and predicting hydrocarbon recovery from the subterranean formation based upon the detected change.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus for predicting hydrocarbon recovery in a subterranean formation from a sample thereof, the apparatus comprising:\n a radio frequency (RF) antenna; a sensor; and a processor coupled to said RF antenna and said sensor and configured to\n generate pre-heating data associated with fracturing in the sample from said sensor, \n determine a first plurality of fractal patterns at different resolutions based upon the pre-heating data, \n heat the sample with RF power from said RF antenna to cause additional fracturing in the sample, \n generate post-heating data, via said sensor, associated with additional fracturing in the sample after heating with RF power, \n determine a second plurality of fractal patterns at different resolutions based upon the post-heating data, \n detect change between the first plurality of fractal patterns and the second plurality of fractal patterns, and \n predict hydrocarbon recovery from the subterranean formation based upon the detected change.
