  • Patent number: 11215732
    Abstract: Methods and devices for estimating at least one property of a volume of interest of an earth formation from a radiation based measurement. Methods include using an optimization procedure to determine an optimal mineralogical model in dependence upon a secondary dependence relation between tool measurements, the mineralogical model including a mineralogical composition of the volume. The secondary dependence relation may include a relation between a plurality of estimated elemental concentrations for the volume. The mineralogical composition may include a concentration of each mineral of a plurality of minerals of the volume. The relation may include a ratio of a first elemental concentration of the plurality of estimated elemental concentrations and a second elemental concentration of the plurality of estimated elemental concentrations. Methods may include using at least one cost function to determine the optimal mineralogical model, wherein the at least one cost function is determined using the relation.

  • Patent number: 11204375
    Abstract: A method for performing synchrophasor estimation of an input signal, whereby the input signal is a sinusoidal power system voltage or current signal, comprising: a. Periodic sampling of a continuous time-domain waveform, consisting of a power system voltage or current signal, to obtain a discrete time-domain function; b. Transforming a discrete time-domain function to a discrete frequency-domain function; c. Estimating from the discrete frequency-domain function the instantaneous parameters of a synchrophasor of the sampled continuous time-domain waveform, the instantaneous parameters comprising a frequency, an amplitude and a phase angle. The method is directed to an improvement of the enhanced IpDFT-based synchrophasor estimation which takes into account interharmonic tones.

  • Patent number: 11199084
    Abstract: A method of detecting an event within a wellbore includes obtaining a sample data set, determining a plurality of frequency domain features of the sample data set, comparing the plurality of frequency domain features with an event signature, determining that the plurality of frequency domain features matches the thresholds, ranges, or both of the event signature, and determining the presence of the event within the wellbore based on determining that the plurality of frequency domain features match the thresholds, ranges, or both of the event signature. The sample data set is a sample of an acoustic signal originating within a wellbore including a fluid. The sample data set is representative of the acoustic signal across a frequency spectrum. The event signature includes a plurality of thresholds, ranges, or both corresponding to the plurality of frequency domain features.

  • Patent number: 11143607
    Abstract: A method for predicting formation permeability by measuring diffusional tortuosity in several directions by pulse gradient NMR. The method comprises evaluating an anisotropic diffusion coefficient by pulsed gradient NMR, determining diffusional tortuosity from the restricted diffusion data, supplementing the NMR results with resistivity and sonic logging data, measuring anisotropic tortuosity and porosity by resistivity and sonic data and combining all components in a single fitting model. The 11-coefficient model is trained to recognize the true values of permeability by comparing the real oil permeabilities measured in a library of oil-carrying rock cores with the NMR, resistivity and sonic correlates. The fitting coefficients are extracted by minimizing the discrepancy between the laboratory measured permeabilities and the predicted values combining all rapid logging information components with the agreement-maximizing weights.

  • Patent number: 11125043
    Abstract: Reduced order modeling is used in the present systems and methods for monitoring the health of a system and is particularly useful in monitoring the health and estimating the remaining useful life of blow out preventer (BOP) annular used in an oil or gas well. A reduced order model is a linear low order characterization of the system that describes the annular behavior with a small number of parameters that can be interpreted physically. The reduced order model is then identified and adapted in real-time in order to detect the change in the system behavior and characteristics. This adaptation helps in drawing conclusions on diagnostics and prognostics of the physical system.
