Guido van der Hoff 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: 11360233
    Abstract: A method can include receiving seismic image data; processing the received seismic image data to generate stratigraphic information using a trained convolution neural network that includes channels subjected to convolution, activation and pooling that reduce spatial resolution and subjected to deconvolution and concatenation that increase spatial resolution; and enhancing the seismic image data using the stratigraphic information to generate an enhanced seismic image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2022
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Mats Stivang Ramfjord, Nader Salman, Michael Hermann Nickel, Guido van der Hoff

  • Patent number: 9869785
    Abstract: Systems and methods for speed-adjustable model navigation are provided. In aspects, a model platform includes a model engine and a speed tool that operates with the model engine to generate a graphical view of a geological model. Various features of the geological object may be encoded or reflected in the geological model, including the composition, pressure, temperate, structure, fracture lines, and other aspects of a hydrocarbon deposit, cavity, or other geological structure. The user may operate the speed tool to examine the histogram of color or intensity of the pixels or voxels of regions of the model view, and set a speed curve to control how quickly or slowly a cursor or other control may move through or traverse a region, based on the color, intensity, or other value. Regions of interest may be explored more efficiently and accurately.
