  • Subsurface formation modeling with integrated stress profiles
    Patent number: 10386523
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product model stress characteristics of a subsurface formation based at least in part on acoustic data and image data associated with the subsurface formation. The acoustic data is analyzed to determine acoustic based stress values, and the image data is analyzed to determine image based stress values. The acoustic based stress values and the image based stress values are integrated to generate an integrated stress profile that includes one or more modeled stress characteristics of the subsurface volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2019
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation

  • Formation stability modeling
    Patent number: 9835746
    Abstract: A method can include receiving data that characterizes anisotropy of a formation; receiving a model that models one or more planes of weakness in an anisotropic formation; and, based at least in part on the model and the data, outputting information germane to stability of a bore in an anisotropic formation.

  • DEVICE FOR THE RETENTION OF MATCHED SETS OF DRUMSTICKS
    Publication number: 20140102284
    Abstract: A retention device for the retention of matched pairs of drumsticks. The device can include at least two retention clamps, each clamp enclosing a channel, and a coupler connecting the at least two retention clamps to each other. Each clamp can have sufficient flexibility so as to allow for the insertion of a drumstick into the channel and so as to frictionally retain a drumstick within the channel. Furthermore, each clamp can include a pair of arms, each arm having a distal end, the distal ends of the arms defining a gap therebetween.
