Patents by Inventor Gustavo Adolfo Urdaneta

Gustavo Adolfo Urdaneta 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: 10145216
    Abstract: A trip speed table is created containing records. Each record contains a step location, wherein a step is defined to be the location in a well of a deepest end of a drill string, a minimum trip speed for the step location, wherein the minimum trip speed is defined to be the maximum trip speed less than or equal to a default trip speed at which the drill string can be tripped without exceeding a fracture gradient or falling below a pore pressure at a slice depth, and the slice depth where the minimum trip speed for the step location occurred.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: Landmark Graphics Corporation
    Inventors: Matthew Edwin Wise, Gustavo Adolfo Urdaneta
  • Patent number: 9977585
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predefining elements of a cemented wellbore using a graphical user interface comprising various elements for cementing the wellbore and a schematic view of the wellbore and tubing string.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9534475
    Abstract: Graphical User Interface (GUI) facilitated centralization methods and system, including a method that includes displaying a graphical representation of a tubular string within a borehole, accepting an interactive graphical selection of a starting location for a range along the borehole, and accepting an interactive graphical selection of an ending location for the range along the borehole. The method further includes determining string stand-off device positions that provide centralization within the range, and providing said positions to field personnel assembling and placing the tubular string in the borehole.

  • Publication number: 20160092482
    Abstract: An illustrative scenario compiling method that includes providing a visual representation of a well having well components mapped to different areas of the visual representation, responding to a selection of one of the well components with a list of data sets corresponding to the well component, retrieving a selected data set from a corresponding database, storing the data set in a common location with selected data sets of other well components, and saving the selected data sets as a scenario to be used for assembling a future collection of data sets as input for analysis software.
