  • Visualization techniques for oilfield operations
    Patent number: 8199166
    Abstract: A method for visualizing oilfield data of an oilfield operation involves obtaining real-time data generated from a borehole, generating and updating a current position object, and displaying and annotating a representation of a first geology, geophysics, drilling, and production object in a display based on the oilfield data using a two dimensional (2D) callout having an attachment handle for adjusting the 2D callout according the updated location in an animation sequence in real-time responsive to updating the current position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2012
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Dmitriy Repin, Vivek Singh, Christos Nikolakis-Mouchas, Farid Harhad, Syed Hammad Zafar
  • System and method for performing a drilling operation in an oilfield
    Patent number: 7814989
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing a drilling operation at a wellsite having a drilling rig configured to advance a drilling tool into a subsurface. The method steps include obtaining a well trajectory associated with a first volume, obtaining information related to a first subsurface entity associated with a second volume, using a three-dimensional relational comparison to determine that the first volume intersects the second volume to define a first intersection information, updating the well trajectory, based on the first intersection information, to obtain an updated well trajectory, and advancing the drilling tool into the subsurface based on the updated well trajectory.
