Bair Banzarov has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Evaluation of formation composition using neutron induced gamma spectroscopy tools
    Patent number: 11079513
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring formation properties in downhole operations are provided. The systems and methods include generating, at a neutron source, neutrons that are emitted into a downhole formation (302), registering, at a detector, photons generated by chemical constituents of the downhole formation (304), measuring a response of the photons registered at the detector (306), transforming, with a computing system, the measured responses of the photons registered at the detector into thermal neutron capture probabilities (308), and transforming the thermal neutron capture probabilities into weight concentrations of the chemical constituents of the downhole formation (312).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2021
    Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, LLC
    Inventors: Bair Banzarov, Alexander Vinokurov, Toyli Anniyev, Maxim Vasilyev, Vladislav Krutko
  • EVALUATION OF FORMATION COMPOSITION USING NEUTRON INDUCED GAMMA SPECTROSCOPY TOOLS
    Publication number: 20200326452
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring formation properties in down-hole operations are provided. The systems and methods include generating, at a neutron source, neutrons that are emitted into a downhole formation (302), registering, at a detector, photons generated by chemical constituents of the downhole formation (304), measuring a response of the photons registered at the detector (306), transforming, with a computing system, the measured responses of the photons registered at the detector into thermal neutron capture probabilities (308), and transforming the thermal neutron capture probabilities into weight concentrations of the chemical constituents of the downhole formation (312).
