Patent number: 10908316Abstract: A raster log digitization system and method are disclosed. The system and method receives a raster log in which the raster log has one or more values of one or more measurements of a well and each value of each measurement being recorded at a plurality of depths of the well. In the raster log, the value of at least one measurement wraps around the raster log. The system and method may generate using the received raster log a digital log from the raster log wherein the digital log resolves the values of at least one measurement that wrapped around the raster log.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Drilling Info, Inc.Inventor: John Neave

Patent number: 10853893Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically correlating geologic tops. The system receives well logs from different well bores and each of the picks is added to a priority queue ordered by each pick's quality measure. User selected picks are assigned the highest level of quality measure. The system performs correlation by selecting a window of well log data about a pick selected from the top of the priority queue and then finding the best optimal match with a corresponding window in a neighboring wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Drilling Info, Inc.Inventors: Christian W.

Patent number: 10459098Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically correlating geologic tops. The system receives well logs from different well bores and one or more user seed picks identifying a well top to be correlated. Each of the seed picks is added to a priority queue ordered by each pick's confidence. User selected picks are assigned the highest level of confidence. The system performs correlation by selecting a window of well log data about a user's manual pick, selected from the top of the priority queue, and then finding the best optimal match with a corresponding window in a neighboring wellbore. That new pick is then estimated in the target well using a correlation function. A quality value and a confidence value may then be calculated for each pick using some correlation function, for example dynamic time warping, and added to the priority queue according to the confidence value.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: DRILLING INFO, INC.Inventors: Christian W. Grant, Dean Clifford Witte
