Patents by Inventor Maja SKATARIC

Maja SKATARIC has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11835674
    Abstract: A sonic tool is activated in a well having multiple casings and annuli surrounding the casing. Detected data is preprocessed using slowness time coherence (STC) processing to obtain STC data. The STC data is provided to a machine learning module which has been trained on labeled STC data. The machine learning module provides an answer product regarding the states of the borehole annuli which may be used to make decision regarding remedial action with respect to the borehole casings. The machine learning module may implement a convolutional neural network (CNN), a support vector machine (SVM), or an auto-encoder.

  • Patent number: 10995606
    Abstract: Methods arc provided for using sonic tool data to investigate a multi-string wcllbore. The sonic data is processed to obtain indications of phase slowness dispersions for multiple locations in the wellbore. The dispersions are aggregated. The aggregated dispersions are compared with a plurality of cut-off mode templates to identify the presence of cut-off modes or the lack thereof in the aggregated phase slowness dispersions. Features of the multi-string wellbore are identified based on the presence of the cut-off modes or the lack thereof. In another method, the sonic data is processed to obtain indications as a function of depth of at least one of an energy spectrum, a semblance projection, a slowness dispersion projection, an attenuation dispersion projection, and a wavenumber dispersion projection. The indications are inspected to locate a shift at a particular depth indicat- ing a transition in at least oneannulus of the multi-string wellbore.

  • Patent number: 10858933
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for analyzing cement integrity in a depth interval of a wellbore having a multiple string casing with an innermost annulus disposed inside at least one outer annulus. The method includes processing ultrasonic data obtained from ultrasonic measurements on the interval of the wellbore to determine properties of the innermost annulus. The method also includes processing sonic data obtained from sonic measurements on the interval of the wellbore to extract features of the sonic data. The features of the sonic data are input to a machine learning processing to determine properties of both the innermost annulus and the least one outer annulus. Additional processing of ultrasonic and sonic data can also be used to determine properties of both the innermost annulus and the least one outer annulus. These properties can be used to analyze cement integrity in the depth interval of the wellbore.
