Patents by Inventor Daniel James David Slidel

Daniel James David Slidel 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).

  • Publication number: 20230124881
    Abstract: A method includes retrieving an unstructured document and defining an area of interest of the unstructured document that visually represents geological formation information. The method also includes extracting a set of vectorized polygons from the area of interest. Additionally, the method includes assigning properties from the unstructured document to each of the vectorized polygons in the set of vectorized polygons. Further, the method includes assigning a coordinate reference frame to the set of vectorized polygons and generating a user-interactive document from the set of vectorized polygons.

  • Patent number: 11573352
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to receive basin data of a target basin including an area of the target basin, a number of exploration wells in the target basin, and a number of discovery wells in the target basin. Additionally, the instructions are executable to cause the processor to provide the basin data as input to a trained machine-learning model to determine a predicted trajectory of exploration efficiency of the target basin. Further, the instructions are executable to cause the processor to, in response to providing the basin data as input to the trained machine-learning model, receive an output from the trained machine-learning model indicating the predicted trajectory of exploration efficiency in the target basin.

  • Patent number: 11568291
    Abstract: A system for analysis and display of hydrocarbon play information according to some aspects determines a probability of source rock occurrence according to source rock age based on a proven play concept. The system can also determine a relative probability of migration for hydrocarbons from a source rock of a proposed petroleum play concept to a reservoir. A relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept can be determined at least in part based on these probabilities. The system can display the relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept, either alone as part of a displayed inventory of proposed hydrocarbon play concepts. The system can produce accurate results that facilitate rapid play concept investigations for hydrocarbon exploration.
