  • Publication number: 20200003930
    Abstract: A method comprising determining a resistivity of a formation, based on a detection of angular electromagnetic signals by a receiver antenna on a first sub of a multi-sub resistivity tool during rotational operation in a wellbore within the formation, the angular electromagnetic signals emitted into the formation, prior to the detection, by a transmitter antenna on a second sub of the multi-sub resistivity tool, wherein the first sub and the second sub are separated apart such that the angular electromagnetic signals are to be transmitted deep into the formation, wherein determining the resistivity comprises curve-fitting and reproducing angular electromagnetic signals by the receiver antenna, and decoupling component signals based on fitting coefficients derived from the angular electromagnetic signals.

  • Publication number: 20190369284
    Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for determining a measurement for a pseudo receiver antenna with a different lateral position and a different azimuthal direction than at least two receiver antennas disposed on one or more wellbore tools is provided. The method involves transmitting an electromagnetic signal into a subterranean formation surrounding a borehole, and measuring one or more responses of the subterranean formation to the electromagnetic signal using at least two receiver antennas. The two receiver antennas are oriented in differing azimuthal directions relative to one or more tools to which the receiver are coupled, and arranged in a non-parallel angular orientation with respect to each other. The method then includes determining a response measured by a pseudo receiver antenna with a desired angular orientation and a desired azimuthal direction with respect to the one or more tools.

  • Publication number: 20190372922
    Abstract: Electronic communication-based storage of content items to support multiple workflows is provided. When an attached content item is received with an electronic communication, a receiving user may select the attached content item for review and editing in an immersive view pane that may be launched adjacent to or in proximity to an electronic mail viewing pane. When the received content item is edited, a copy of the edited content item is temporarily stored with the electronic communication with which the content item was received at an associated electronic communication server. When the receiving user then desires to dispose of the edited content item, for example, by replying back to the sending user with the edited content item as an attachment, the edited content item may be retrieved from the electronic communication server automatically for attachment to the responsive communication.

  • Patent number: 10466882
    Abstract: Automatic uploading of electronic communication attachments to a collaborative storage location for enabling efficient co-authoring among a group of users is provided. When an electronic communication item is received that contains an attached content item, a user may select the content item for review and/or editing. A communication (e.g., a responsive email message) may be automatically created and may include an attachment pointer to direct recipients of the communication to the location at which the edited content item will be stored at a collaborative group storage location. The communication may also include a posting for notifying recipients of the communication that the associated content item has been edited and by whom the content item was edited. Recipients of the communication may then locate the edited content item and may begin reviewing and/or editing the stored content item in a collaborative co-authoring environment.

  • Patent number: 10436931
    Abstract: Electromagnetic sensors which provide high coupling gain between the transmitter and receiver of a dielectric tool include a conductive pad having a cavity filled with dielectric filler, and an electrical conductor that provides electrical current to a conductive feeder placed inside the dielectric filler. During operation, current is fed to the conductive feeder to thereby produce an electric monopole that feeds electromagnetic power into the cavity, which then radiates out into the formation as electromagnetic signals. Because of the design of the electromagnetic sensors, the transmitter/receiver coupling gain and SNR are optimized over the entire range of the dielectric constant (i.e., 5??r?80).

  • Publication number: 20190066261
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for transporting an electronic communication that includes one or more attachments efficiently by sending the electronic communication with a smaller-sized (e.g., lower resolution) representational element of each attachment and subsequently replacing each representational element with a higher resolution attachment thumbnail of the attachment. The high resolution attachment thumbnail is produced in an asynchronous process during or after the transportation of the attachment(s) and the electronic communication. After the high resolution attachment thumbnail(s) is generated, at least one representational element in the electronic communication may be replaced with a corresponding HR attachment thumbnail.
