Patent number: 10669844Abstract: Methods and systems for characterizing a wellbore depth interval from rock fragments, including a method that includes converting measurements of a bulk rock fragment sample and of individual rock fragment samples to a concentration percent, computing a normalization deviation for each of the individual rock fragment samples relative to the bulk rock fragment sample (said normalization deviation being derived from the concentration percent of the bulk and individual rock fragment samples) and ranking the individual rock fragment samples based on a corresponding normalization deviation. The method further includes selecting one or more individual rock fragment samples based on a corresponding ranking, characterizing the properties of the wellbore depth interval from which the bulk and individual rock fragment samples originated using measured properties of at least some of the selected individual rock fragment samples and presenting to a user the characterized wellbore depth interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Joel Walls, Bryan Guzman, Michael Foster, Jonas Toelke, Venkata Ajay Gundepalli

Publication number: 20180109652Abstract: In some examples, a system identifies a set of services to provide a set of outputs to be displayed on a first set of displays at a first location to an identified user, where the services are provided by computers located remotely over a network from the first location, and establishes a value for a parameter that controls a custom display of a given output of the set of outputs on a respective set of displays to the identified user based, at least in part, on a stored mapping that persistently relates the set of services, the set of outputs, a second set of displays, and the identified user. The system further adjusts the display of the given output of the set of outputs on the first set of displays, the adjusting being based, at least in part, on the value of the parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Jeffrey Joel Walls, Byron A.

Patent number: 9860344Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with persisting information concerning per-user, per-connection display configuration control are described. One example method includes identifying services that provide outputs to be displayed to an identified user on displays available to the identified user. Services are provided by remotely located computers. The example method may also include establishing a display control parameter based on a stored mapping that persistently relates services, outputs, displays, and users. The mapping stores information concerning the parameter as configured by the identified user during a previous session. The example method may also include controlling the display of the output on the display based on the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey Joel Walls, Byron A.
