  • Transposition of logs onto horizontal wells
    Patent number: 10428642
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for transposition of logs onto a horizontal well path may include collecting vertical situational data from a plurality of depths of a vertical well in a geological formation and collecting horizontal situational data from a plurality of locations along the horizontal well path in the geological formation. The method further includes collecting geological data associated with the plurality of depths of the vertical well and generating pseudo-logs for the horizontal well path based on the plurality of depths and the associated geological data for the plurality of depths.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for measuring parameters of a formation
    Patent number: 9631489
    Abstract: A method of measuring parameters of a formation along multiple axes is disclosed. A formation tester tool is introduced into a wellbore. The formation tester tool includes a first probe oriented at an angle from a second probe about an axis of the formation tester tool. The first and second probes are positioned against a surface of the wellbore. Fluid is injected via at least one of the first and second probes. Pressure parameters corresponding to the fluid injected into the formation are monitored. Formation stresses about the formation fractures along multiple axes are determined based, at least in part, on the pressure parameters.
