Patents by Inventor Claudio Strobbia

Claudio Strobbia 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).

  • Patent number: 9015014
    Abstract: A method for generating a three dimensional (3D) model of a near surface layer. In one implementation, the method may include generating a one dimensional (1D) geologic model of the near surface layer, converting the 1D geologic model to a two dimensional (2D) geologic model of the near surface layer, converting the 2D geologic model to a 3D geologic model of the near surface layer, and converting the 3D geologic model to a 3D elastic geologic model of the near surface layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2015
    Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.
    Inventors: Andreas W. Laake, Claudio Strobbia, Andrew Cutts
  • Patent number: 8861308
    Abstract: A technique includes a method and apparatus for simultaneous joint inversion of surface wave and refraction data to identify near surface geophysical and geological properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 14, 2014
    Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.

  • Patent number: 8760966
    Abstract: A computer implemented technique for use in seismic data interpretation and, more particularly, with respect to near-surface geological structures, includes a computer-implemented method, including: jointly interpreting a plurality of complementary data sets describing different attributes of a near-surface geologic structure; and ascertaining a near-surface geomorphology from the joint interpretation. In another aspect, the technique includes a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, perform such a method. In yet another aspect, the method includes a computing apparatus programmed to perform such a method.
