  • Publication number: 20230340850
    Abstract: A method of transferring at least one subterranean core sample from a retrieval vessel to a testing vessel can include removing at least one pressure barrier on the retrieval vessel using a linear actuator while maintaining a sampling pressure on the at least one subterranean core sample at which the at least one subterranean core sample is taken from a subterranean formation. The method can also include pressurizing the testing vessel to the sampling pressure using the linear actuator, and transferring the at least one subterranean core sample from the retrieval vessel to the testing vessel. The method can further include sealing the testing vessel with the at least one subterranean core sample at the sampling pressure, where the testing vessel allows the at least one subterranean core sample to be tested while the at least one subterranean core sample is maintained at the sampling pressure.

  • Patent number: 11514630
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a composite image in remote sensing applications are described. In an example, a device can receive an image having a plurality of points specified in an image space. The device can extract a portion of the image and transform points among the extracted portion from the image space to a parameter space defined by a distance parameter and an orientation parameter. The device can identify a set of intersection points in the parameter space that indicate at least one occurrence of a geometry feature in the extracted portion of the image. The device can augment the portion of the image with a plurality of new pixels based on the identified set of intersection points. The device can generate a composite image using the augmented image, where the composite image can include a plurality of augmented images corresponding to other portions of the image.

  • Patent number: 11360970
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes accessing, by a processing unit, an existing layer representing geospatial-temporal data at a selected timestamp. A first overview layer of the existing layer is generated by iteratively aggregating each cluster of cells of the existing layer into a corresponding lower-resolution cell of the first overview layer. The first overview layer therefore has a lower resolution than the existing layer. A query is received related to the geospatial-temporal data in the existing layer, and the query is processed with reference to the first overview layer.

  • Publication number: 20220156636
    Abstract: In an approach for efficient flood water analysis from spatio-temporal data fusion and statistics, a processor classifies regular waters by using cartographic data in a first location. A processor generates a water stream network including a watershed based on elevation data. A processor performs statistical analysis of spectral information from a multi-spectral satellite imagery over water bodies including the regular waters and flood waters. A processor correlates the spectral statistics of the multi-spectral satellite imagery to kinetic energy of the flood waters using machine learning techniques and physical modeling. A processor builds a learning model based on the correlation between the spectral statistics and the flood waters with the kinetic energy. A processor estimates kinetic energy of flood waters in a second location using the learning model. A processor evaluates a flooding risk for the second location based on the estimated flood waters kinetic energy.

  • Publication number: 20210032987
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method of performing a test on a core sample comprises transferring at least a portion of a core sample from a first core containment vessel to a second core containment vessel. The core sample is maintained at a substantially equivalent pressure or placed under a higher pressure during the transfer of the core sample from the first vessel to the second vessel. The method further comprises performing a test on the core sample in a measurement region of the second vessel.
