Publication number: 20240026773Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions for facilitating user visualization and control the path of a new wellbore in three-dimensions (3D). This may include displaying visualizations that show a current well path, a well plan, all nearby offset well paths, and well path projections in a manner that may use different projection methods. These visualizations may also include boundaries where a drilling tool should not go, such “No-Go-Zones” may be shown in a 3D spatial visualization. Visualizations may be displayed continuously along the well path, at survey stations, and at user-defined depth positions during a drilling process. Such visualizations may include projections that show an anticipated wellbore path, based on current settings of a drilling control system. Alerts may be triggered to warn users of various issues that may affect a new well being drilled. Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Robert Alan FRIEDRICH, Cili SUN, Min WU, Deepak SUBIRAMANIYAM, Bipin K.

Patent number: 11725505Abstract: This disclosure presents a process for communications in a borehole containing a fluid or drilling mud, where a conventional mud pulser can be utilized to transmit data to a transducer. The transducer, or a communicatively coupled computing system, can perform pre-processing steps to correct the received data using an average of a moving time window of the received data, and then normalize the corrected data. The corrected data can then be utilized as inputs into a machine learning mud pulse recognition network where the data can be classified and an ideal or clean pulse waveform can be overlaid the corrected data. The overlay and the corrected data can be fed into a conventional decoder or decoded by the disclosed process. The decoded data can then be communicated to another system and used as inputs, such as to a well site controller to enable adjustments to well site operation parameters.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Dingding Chen, Li Gao, Joni Polili Lie, Paravastu Badrinarayanan, Faisal Farooq Shah, Bipin K. Pillai, Murali Krishna Thottempudi

Publication number: 20230137394Abstract: A method includes obtaining, by a downhole tool, a first shape of sensor data representing one or more characteristics of a wellbore, comparing, by the downhole tool, the first shape with a set of pre-determined reference shapes stored in a downhole memory to select a pre-determined reference shape that can be imposed on the first shape, calculating one or more delta values between the first shape and the selected pre-determined reference shape, and transmitting, by the downhole tool, the pre-determined reference shape and the delta values to a processor at a surface of the wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Matthew Hui CHONG, Bipin K.

Patent number: 6963290Abstract: The specification discloses algorithms for error recovery in pulse position modulation-based mud pulse telemetry. More particularly, the specification discloses detection and attempted correction of at least five possible error mechanisms: the missed detection of a pulse that creates an interval greater than maximum; the missed detection of a pulse that results in an interval still within acceptable boundaries; detection of an extra pulse; a pulse shift that results in data in contiguous intervals being affected; and a pulse shift resulting in a single interval data corruption.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Laban M.

Patent number: 6788219Abstract: A mud pulse telemetry technique that uses a number of bits per interval based on parameters of the pulse position modulation system in order to reduce data transfer time in a pulse position modulation system. More particularly, depending on parameters of the pulse position modulation such as the minimum-time and the bit-width, it may be possible to decrease overall transmission time by splitting values having a larger number of bits into multiple transmissions with each transmission having a smaller number of bits.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Cili Sun, Laban M.
