Patent number: 11601785Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining job classifications of anonymous users. Energy Infrastructure (EI) information associated with a known EI facility and anonymized location tracking data is obtained. The EI facility information includes a location of the known EI facility and an identification of the known EI facility, and the anonymized location tracking data includes visited locations associated with an anonymous user ID. A job classification is associated with the anonymous user ID based on a correlation between the visited locations, the location of the known EI facility, and the identification of the known EI facility. Location tracking data associated with a user of a known job classification can be used to identify a previously unknown EI facility.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: SOURCEWATER, INC.Inventors: Joshua Adler, Jon Stowell

Patent number: 11556882Abstract: A method for managing oilfield water. Oilfield water data is grouped into discrete and non-overlapping groups. Outliers are removed from the data. Features of the remaining data are analyzed to identify most discriminative feature. The data is separated into training data and testing data, and the training data is fit into a model that shows the best precision, accuracy and recall. The model is confirmed using the testing data. Upon confirmation of the accuracy of the model, the model is applied to data for a new proposed oilfield well, and a new proposed project is implemented or disapproved based on a result of the identified model that predicts water production of the new proposed oilfield well.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: SOURCEWATER, INC.Inventors: Forrest Charles Webb, Wesley Peter Cleveland

Patent number: 11379971Abstract: A computer-implemented method for selecting aerial images for image processing to identify Energy Infrastructure (EI) features is provided. The method includes performing image processing on aerial images of a portion of global terrain captured at different times to determine differences in terrain content the captured images. Aerial images are selected for further image processing according to identified differences in terrain content. The selected images are imaged processed via an EI feature recognition type to identify EI features within the images.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: SOURCEWATER, INC.Inventor: Joshua Adler

Patent number: 11333792Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing seismic risk. The system and methods disclose deriving a model that is used to assess seismic risk of operations at a given location. A first location is identified for which at least one training seismic risk value is known from independent sources. A plurality of training input parameters associated with the first location is received. The at least one training seismic risk value is received. A process model is derived that relates the plurality of training input parameters to the at least one training seismic risk value by determining influence values of the training input parameters. A second location is identified for which a seismic risk is to be determined. A plurality of working input parameters associated with the second location is received. The process model is applied to the plurality of working input parameters to determine a seismic risk value at the second location.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: SOURCEWATER, INC.Inventors: Casee R. Lemons, Jose E. Cortina, Joshua Adler
