  • Patent number: 11972581
    Abstract: This disclosure presents a process to determine an alignment parameter for geosteering a wellbore undergoing drilling operations. The process can receive one or more azimuthal image log data sets, one or more geology logs, and other input parameters. The image log data sets can be transformed to better approximate the geology logs, such as transforming a 3D representation to a 2D representation and flattening out curves represented in the original image log data. The geology logs or transformed image log data can then be moved to create an approximate alignment between the other log data. The movement, which can be a sliding movement, a linear movement, a tilting movement, an angling movement, or a rotating movement, can be used to determine the determined alignment parameter or final alignment parameter. The alignment parameter can be used as input into a geosteering system for the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 11971791
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically failing over all services operating on a primary region to a secondary region upon detection or notification of a fault in the primary region. When a fault exists on the primary region, the method traverses each cluster containing services operating on the primary region and prepares an input file including a list of service names identifying each service operating on the primary region. Referencing the input file, the method fails over each service from the primary region to the secondary region by modifying a service weight corresponding to each service. This failover process of services may be done simultaneously with failing over any databases corresponding to the failed-over services from the primary region to the secondary region. The method may also introduce a sleep time after modifying each service weight to avoid any potential throttling issues.

  • Patent number: 11972309
    Abstract: A central server receives API calls requesting services. The central server identifies whether the API calls are associated with a merchant. A distribution is constructed based on the API calls. The central server further executes a pre-defined rule to identify a set of the API calls belonging to a maximum percentile in the distribution and a set of the API calls belonging to a minimum percentile in the distribution before estimating a set of the anomalous data points with one or more goodness of fit functions against the maximum percentile and the minimum percentile. A GUI receives a critical value from a user. In response to receiving the critical value, the central server generates probabilities of the set of the anomalous data points before displaying a set of the anomalous data points in response to the probabilities being less than the critical value.
