  • Publication number: 20240412283
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques applied in an engineering analysis of energy asset information. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting energy asset data maintained by a borrower; receiving information about a first set of parameters for use in evaluating the energy asset data maintained by the borrower; generating, based on the energy asset data and the first set of parameters, cash flow data for the borrower; calculating, based on the cash flow data, borrowing base data for the borrower; receiving information about a second set of parameters; generating, based on the cash flow data and the second set of parameters, adjusted cash flow data; and calculating, based on the adjusted cash flow data, updated borrowing base data for the borrower.

  • Patent number: 11734479
    Abstract: The disclosure presents a technique to generate a fracture model using a differential stress map and model inputs. The technique simulates the fracture model using fracture fronts, initiated at perforations of a perforation stage of a hydraulic fracturing (HF) wellbore. Each fracture front is evaluated using a propagation step of a fracture model process. Using the relative differential stress states, a fracture pattern is composited to the fracture model. At each propagation step, the total energy available from the simulated HF fluid being pumped into the wellbore location is reduced by the amount necessary to generate the computed fractures. Once the remaining energy is reduced to a level where no further fractures can be created, or if a map boundary is encountered, the fracture model process terminates. The generated fracture model can be communicated to update HF job plans, wellbore placements, and other uses of the fracture model.

  • Patent number: 11346202
    Abstract: A drill bit subsystem can include a drill bit, a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions and for being positioned downhole with the drill bit. The instructions of the non-transitory computer-readable medium can include a machine-teachable module and a control module that are executable by the processor. The machine-teachable module can receive depth data and rate of drill bit penetration from one or more sensors in a drilling operation, and determine an estimated lithology of a formation at which the drill bit subsystem is located. The control module can use the estimated lithology to determine an updated location of the drill bit subsystem, and control a direction of the drill bit using the updated location and a drill plan.

  • Patent number: 7539621
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and distributing centrally-received leads to a plurality of remote dealers are disclosed. The management and distribution of leads may be handled by the centralized methods and systems regardless of the type of lead management software each supported dealer may employ. Also disclosed are systems and methods for collecting and processing information relating to the effectiveness of a dealer's follow-through on leads that it receives, independent of how that dealer processes leads or what type of lead management software the dealer uses. Additional disclosures include systems and methods for transmitting leads and lead follow-up and effectiveness information between a central system that receives leads from a plurality of sources and a dealer via an intermediary.

  • Publication number: 20050171859
    Abstract: A method of developing a sales lead includes receiving a sales lead from a sales lead source and supplementing it with additional information. The supplemental information may be useful in determining the attractiveness of the sales lead. Attractiveness information may be quantified or otherwise expressed, added to the sales lead, and provided to a sales lead recipient. The sales lead recipient may then quickly and efficiently assess the value of the sales lead.
