  • Publication number: 20240121337
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying a call originated from a caller entity destined for a called entity at a call content server, identifying a called number associated with the called entity and a caller number associated with the caller entity, comparing a telephone number prefix associated with the called number with a number of enhanced call content data elements to identify a match, selecting one or more of the enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match, and forwarding the selected enhanced call content data elements to the called entity.

  • Patent number: 10429535
    Abstract: A method for determining at least one characteristic of a geological formation having a borehole therein may include collecting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data of the geological formation adjacent the borehole, and collecting non-NMR data for the geological formation adjacent the wellbore. The method may further include performing a Monte Carlo analysis based upon a combination of the collected NMR and non-NMR data to determine the at least one characteristic of the geological formation having a bounded uncertainty associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 10360282
    Abstract: A method and system for evaluation of a hydrocarbon-bearing shale formation employs a data processing system that defines a response model that relates first data representing measured petrophysical properties of the shale formation at a given location to second data representing volume fractions for a particular set of formation components at the given location. The first data includes hydrogen index at the given location, and the particular set of formation components of the second data include a number of mineral components and a number of hydrocarbon-bearing components. The hydrocarbon-bearing components include at least one kerogen component. A computation solver processes the response model along with the first data to solve for the second data. The solved second data representing the volume fraction of the at least one kerogen component is processed to derive at least one ratio that is indicative of kerogen maturity at the given location.

  • Patent number: 8547093
    Abstract: A method and system for performing speed correction on nuclear magnetic resonance logging data is provided. The speed correction performed can be done on a representation of echo data received by a logging tool, and then additively applied to the echo data. Such a process can reduce or remove the amplification of noise in the echo data that is common in conventional methods of speed correction.

  • Patent number: 7363164
    Abstract: Various methods are disclosed for evaluating water saturation characteristics in a geological formation penetrated by a borehole, including injection fluid introduced into the formation by an external injection process performed upon the formation. In various embodiments, the total water saturation may be obtained from the relationship provided by the Triple Water Equation, and used to map saturation in the formation and making drilling decisions.

  • Publication number: 20060136135
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a method of evaluating water saturation characteristics is provided. The method is applicable to a geological formation that is penetrated by a borehole and includes injection fluid introduced into the formation by an external process performed upon the borehole. The method includes conducting electromagnetic induction measurements indicative of resistivity values of the formation. A value of total porosity for the formation is also obtained. Then, the method calls for defining fractional volumes for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water in the formation, wherein the free water volume accounts for injection fluid introduced into the formation. The method also calls for defining values of conductivity for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water, wherein the free water conductivity is determined from the conductivity of the injection fluid.
