  • Patent number: 11892584
    Abstract: Methods of marine to borehole measurement may include dispersing one or more borehole receivers in one or more boreholes; distributing one or more marine receivers in marine water at a seabed; immersing an electromagnetic dipole source in the marine water above the seabed; energizing the electromagnetic dipole source; measuring one or more borehole signal measurements using the one or more borehole receivers and one or more seabed signal measurements using the one or more marine receivers; and determining a three-dimensional property distribution of a reservoir of interest by processing the one or more borehole signal measurements and the one or more seabed signal measurements.

  • Patent number: 10261215
    Abstract: Described herein are implementations of various technologies for a method. The method may receive seismic attributes regarding a region of interest in a subsurface of the earth. The method may receive electrical attributes regarding the region of interest. The method may receive a selection of a rock physics model for the region of interest. The method may calculate values of rock parameters for the selected rock physics model using a nonlinear relation that links cross-properties between the seismic attributes and the electrical attributes for the region of interest. The method may determine the presence of hydrocarbon deposits in the region of interest using the calculated values.

  • Patent number: 8275592
    Abstract: To perform inversion based on electromagnetic (EM) data acquired in a subterranean survey, time domain controlled source EM (TD-CSEM) data is acquired by at least one EM receiver in response to EM signals from a controlled EM source. Further data is received, where the further data is selected from among magnetotelluric (MT) data and DC data acquired by the at least one receiver. A probabilistic joint inversion is applied on the TD-CSEM data and the further data to produce a model representing a subterranean structure that is a target of the subterranean survey.

  • Patent number: 8019548
    Abstract: To enable analysis of a signal associated with surveying a subterranean structure, a processing system receives a time series of the signal associated with surveying the subterranean structure. A visualization of the time series is generated, where the visualization is a time-based representation of a characteristic of the signal. The visualization enables a determination of whether undesirable variations occur with the signal over time.
