Patent number: 11066928Abstract: A telemetry method transmits data from a downhole location to a surface location. During transmission an event is detected that makes it desirable to change a transmitted data stream. A downhole processor processes the detected event in combination with a predefined event database and downhole measurement data using a frame building algorithm to compute a digital data stream. Synchronization markers are added to the data stream to obtain a synchronized data stream in which the synchronization markers identify the detected event. The synchronized data stream is transmitted to the surface location using a downhole telemetry tool and received at the surface location to obtain a decoded data stream. A surface processor processes the synchronization markers to identify the detected event and further processes the detected event in combination with a predefined event database and the decoded data stream using the frame building algorithm to obtain the downhole measurements.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Nirina David Raveloson, Alex David Close, Nikhil Kotian, William James Robert Thomson, Prince Mathew Samuel

Publication number: 20160340573Abstract: A technique facilitates a well treatment, such as a well stimulation. The technique comprises injecting a gel containing proppant into a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation. Additionally, a low viscosity fluid is injected into the wellbore with the gel either simultaneously or separately. An additive or additives may be used to maintain the gel in the low viscosity fluid. The technique further comprises separating the gel into slugs and then causing the slugs to flow into fractures in the subterranean formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Sergey Vladimirovich SEMENOV, Mohan PANGA, Michael TOUGH, Mathew SAMUEL, Andrey Vladimirovich YAKOVLEV, Danil Sergeyevich PANTSURKIN, Salvador AYALA, Geza HORVATH-SZABO, Sergey Sergeevich SKIBA

Patent number: 9143961Abstract: A switching matrix and testing platform may enable controlled testing of various configurations of radio access networks (RANs) at various signal strengths. The switching matrix and testing platform may enable testing of the radio frequency (RF) signals from RANs or telecommunications devices for new and/or predetermined scenarios, such as using different configurations of the RANs at various signal strengths. During a scenario, various operations may be performed on the telecommunications device in communication with the tested RF signals, such as making voice calls, transmitting and receiving data (messages, videos, music, etc.). A performance of the telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements may be analyzed in comparison to other telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Venkataraman Natarajan, Arun Ananth Bhatji, Mathew Samuel, David Ross Jenkinson

Patent number: 8897144Abstract: Techniques for calculating quality of user experience (QoE) scores for video streams as played on receiving devices are described herein. Prior to calculating a QoE score, a device receives a video of a display screen of a receiving device captured while the receiving device plays a video stream. The device also receives transmission metrics from at least one device engaged in the transmission of the video stream to the receiving device. The device then calculates the QoE score for that received video based at least in part on a reference video, the transmission metrics, and one or more QoE models. Additionally, prior to receiving the video or the transmission metrics, the device may automate the transmission of the reference video as the video stream from a sending device to the receiving device over at least one network emulator, including providing network impairment settings to the network emulator.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2012Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Jie Hui, Mohamad F.

Patent number: 7691789Abstract: A composition and method is given for a well control fluid that is injected into a well during completion or remediation and prevents fluid flow from a formation into the well during operations (such as shut-in, or placement or adjustment of tools/hardware) when no fluid flow is desired. The composition includes a viscoelastic surfactant fluid system (VES) and a decomposable first solid material, preferably in fiber form, that forms a pack or plug in the well at the location where fluid would otherwise leak off, and then decomposes without intervention to release a product that is a breaker for the surfactant or the micelles of the VES. The composition optionally also contains a pH control agent and a second solid (that may also be a fluid loss agent) that affect the decomposition of the first solid.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Diankui Fu, Steve Russell, Mathew Samuel
