Patents by Inventor Martin D. Hiu

Martin D. Hiu 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: 10936561
    Abstract: Well data is retrieved from a connected database for data analysis of well data. One or more Constraints are applied to the retrieved well data to determine if the retrieved well data includes low-quality or incorrect data. Upon determination of the presence of low-quality or incorrect data in the retrieved well data, the determination is reported. The low-quality or incorrect data is analyzed for quality control. The low-quality or incorrect data is remediated based on the quality control analysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil Company
    Inventors: Martin D. Hiu, Troy W. Thompson, Murtadha I. Habib

  • Patent number: 9501740
    Abstract: This disclosure generally describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer-program products, and computer systems, for predicting well markers. One computer-implemented method includes separating neural-network (NN)-predicted facies output associated with a plurality of wells into two sets, a first set of NN-predicted facies output of training wells and a second set of NN-predicted facies output of target wells, calculating, for each training well of the plurality of wells, a sameness score between zones of NN-predicted facies output and human-identified lithostratigraphic units (finer zones), calculating a mean sameness score for the finer zones for all training wells, identifying finer zones with a mean sameness score greater than a threshold value as dominant facies zones, and iterating over each target well to calculate a top and depth position of each dominant facies zone determined based upon the NN-predicted facies output of the target well.
