  • Patent number: 11681070
    Abstract: Systems and methods may utilize information collected by a pulsed-neutron logging tool along with modeling a characterization of a borehole to form a 3-stage correction algorithm. This algorithm may be used to find an oil, water, and gas holdup in the borehole. During operations, a pulsed neutron logging tool which emits neutrons to interact with nuclei inducing gamma radiation. The gamma radiation is detected into a response which may be correlated to the location of a holdup in a borehole by using the entire spectrum or ratios of selected peaks. In examples, a borehole density index may be implemented to complement the response and improve accuracy and measurement confidence.

  • Publication number: 20230184108
    Abstract: This disclosure presents systems and processes to collect elemental composition of target fluid and solid material located downhole of a borehole. Waveguides can be utilized that include capillary optics to deliver emitted high energy into a container or a conduit and then to detect the high energy. A source waveguide can be used to emit the high energy into the target fluid and a detector waveguide can collect resulting measurements. Each waveguide can include a protective sheath and a pressure cap on the end of the capillary optics that are proximate the target fluid, to protect against abrasion and target fluid pressure. In other aspects, a pulsed neutron tool can be utilized in place of the waveguides to collect measurements. The collected measurements can be utilized to generate chemical signature results that can be utilized to determine the elemental composition of the target fluid or of the solid material.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices including smart interfaces with facilitated input and mistake recovery are described. For example, a smart interface system can identify one or more portions of user input as alterable decisions, and, for each of the one or more alterable decisions, store, in a memory, information about one or more alternative options for the alterable decision. The system can also identify one of the alterable decisions as the currently alterable decision, and upon receiving an input indicative of an actuation of the alteration key, alter the currently alterable decision to another of the one or more alternative options based on the stored information.

  • Patent number: 11635543
    Abstract: Systems and methods employed measure borehole density by neutron induced gammas using a pulsed neutron tool. Traditional nuclear density methods only measure a bulk average density of the surrounding material. As discussed below, methods to measure only the borehole density excluding the contamination from the formation are disclosed. Specifically, the proposed methods use unique signatures from each geometric region to directly measure the borehole density or compensate for the contamination from formation. This method may be achieved by a borehole density measurement using differential attenuation of capture gamma from casing iron, a borehole density measurement using differential attenuation of inelastic gamma from oxygen, a differential attenuation of any induced gamma from any element from borehole and formation, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11624855
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining holdup in a wellbore using a neutron-based downhole tool. In examples, the tool includes nuclear detectors that may measure gammas induced by highly energized pulsed-neutrons emitted by a generator. The characteristic energy and intensity of detected gammas indicate the elemental concentration for that interaction type. A detector response may be correlated to the borehole holdup by using the entire spectrum or the ratios of selected peaks. As a result, measurements taken by the neutron-based downhole tool may allow for a two component (oil and water) or a three component (oil, water, and gas) measurement. The two component or three component measurements may be further processed using machine learning (ML) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) with additional enhancements of semi-analytical physics algorithms performed at the employed network's nodes (or hidden layers).

  • Patent number: 11627164
    Abstract: A flexible security system has been created that allows for fluid security operations that adapt to the dynamic nature of user behavior while also allowing the security related operations themselves to be dynamic. This flexible system includes ongoing collection and/or updating of multi-perspective “security contexts” per actor and facilitating consumption of these multi-perspective security contexts for security related operations on the users. These security related operations can include policy-based security enforcement and inspection. A security platform component or security entity uses a multi-perspective security context for a user or actor. Aggregating and maintaining behavioral information into a data structure for an actor over time from different sources allows a security platform component or entity to have historical context for an actor from one or more security perspectives.
