  • Well placement and fracture design optimization system, method and computer program product
    Patent number: 10060226
    Abstract: A well design system that utilizes geological characteristics and fracture growth behavior along of a vertical stratigraphic column of the formation in order to optimize well placement and fracture stimulation designs for the entire formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: LANDMARK GRAPHICS CORPORATION
    Inventors: Ronald Glen Dusterhoft, Marty Paulk
  • Methods and systems for providing a package of sensors to enhance subterranean operations
    Patent number: 9429009
    Abstract: A method and system for autonomously enhancing the performance of rig operations at a rig-site, including subterranean operations at a rig-site. The system may include an integrated control system, wherein the integrated control system monitors one or more parameters of sensor units of the rig operations, and a central computer that can communicate with sensor units reporting the health and operational status of the rig operations. The system may further be upgraded by a package of sensors attached to the various tools that allow the central computer an overall synchronized view of the rig operations.
