  • Patent number: 12604096
    Abstract: A method of adaptive inspection includes receiving data characterizing one or more images of an inspection region of an industrial machine acquired by an inspection system operating based on a first set of operating parameters. The inspection region includes a site feature. The method also includes determining, by an analytical model, one or more characteristics of the inspection region from the received data characterizing the one or more images of the inspection region. The method further includes generating a control signal based on the one or more characteristics of the inspection region and/or a user input. The inspection system is configured to perform a new inspection of the inspection region based on the control signal.

  • Patent number: 10677707
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating permeability at unsteady-state pressure conditions and areal distribution of microproppants are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise: obtaining a first dataset relating to a positive permeability through a split core plug sample of a subterranean formation at a plurality of different differential pressures; obtaining a second dataset relating to a positive permeability through the split core plug sample at each different differential pressure after a plurality of microproppant particles have been placed between two halves of the sample; extrapolating a baseline positive permeability of the sample at a differential pressure equal to zero based on the first dataset; extrapolating a treated positive permeability of the sample at a differential pressure equal to zero based on the second dataset; calculating a closure resistance of the fracture and the fracture closure pressure using the second dataset; and estimating a proppant areal placement factor.
