  • Patent number: 7548817
    Abstract: Caliper measurements made during rotation of a bottomhole assembly are processed to estimate the location of the BHA, and size and shape of the borehole. A piecewise elliptical fitting procedure may be used. These estimates may be used to correct measurements made by a standoff-sensitive formation evaluation sensor such as a neutron porosity tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7545145
    Abstract: An unfocused resistivity imaging device horizontal and vertical currents conveyed into the borehole. Pad mounted electrodes are used to make voltage measurements in orthogonal directions. The voltage measurements are then rotated to give principal resistivity measurements in an anisotropic formation with dipping beds.

  • Patent number: 7538319
    Abstract: A low value of Th/U ratio as determined from natural gamma radiation is indicative of deepwater sedimentation. This, together with estimates of total organic carbon from pulsed neutron measurements, is used to characterize source rocks. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understand that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
