Publication number: 20240084654Abstract: An environmental-efficiency fluid is designed by a system and/or method. The fluid can be for use in a down-hole operation in a well. The design produces the environmental-efficiency fluid from a treatment fluid and drill cuttings. For example, the system and method can include creating an analysis of a rheological model generated from a set of wellbore conditions and a set of drill-cutting properties to determine a set of rheological properties for the treatment fluid and a concentration of drill cuttings, which allow for use of the drill cuttings with the treatment fluid; and producing the environmental-efficiency fluid based on the rheological properties and the concentration of drill cuttings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: James Robert Benkley, Ronnie Glen Morgan, Stephanie Ruiz, Paul Michael Osborne, Thomas Pisklak

Publication number: 20230366303Abstract: A method of classifying job observations with metadata tags for retrieval from a database during the designing of a wellbore treatment. A machine learning process applies a set of metadata tags to the observation description and observation object based on a training set of job observations. The machine learning process validates the metadata tags based on a classification grade determined by the ranking of the job observation within a search result. A managing application can modify a job design comprising an inventory of wellbore treatment materials and pumping equipment based on job observations with metadata tags that match the metadata tags of the job design.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2022Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: MARJORIE FARMER, PAUL MICHAEL OSBORNE

Publication number: 20170248401Abstract: Embodiments are directed to apparatuses, methods and systems for tracking usage of an item. In one scenario, a microcontroller is configured to send a periodic signal over electrical traces that are distributed over an item to determine whether a change in electrical throughput has occurred in a trace. Upon determining that such a change has occurred, an indication is generated that describes the type of usage that occurred and the time at which the use occurred. An indication of the type of usage and the time of occurrence is then provided to specified recipients. Apparatuses for tracking such usage include a battery, a microprocessor, a transmitter and capsules for storing the controlled substances. Each capsule has an electrical trace extending through at least some of the capsule. The microprocessor is configured to determine, using the electrical traces, which capsules have been opened by identifying which traces have been broken.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Michael Osborne Isom, Duane Michael Scott Johnson

Patent number: 8302173Abstract: A method for providing a user device with a set of access codes comprises, in the user device, storing an encryption key a an identification code, and sending a message containing the identification code to a server via a communications network. In the server, an encryption key is stored corresponding to the key stored in the user device, allocating the set of access codes on receipt of the identification code from the user device. A look up function is performed based on the identification code received in the message to retrieve the key from storage. The set of access codes is encrypted using the retrieved key to produce an encrypted set. A message containing the encrypted set is sent to the user device via the network. In the user device, the encrypted set received from the server is decrypted using the key in storage, and storing the decrypted set of access codes for use by a user of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Baentsch, Peter Buhler, Thomas Eirich, Frank Hoering, Thorsten Kramp, Marcus Oestreicher, Michael Osborne, Thomas D.

Patent number: 8271791Abstract: A method for digitally signing of electronic documents which are to be kept secure for a very long time, thereby taking into account future cryptographic developments which could render currently cryptographic key-lengths insufficient. A double signature is issued for each document. A first digital signature ensures the long term security, while a second digital signature ensures the involvement of an individual user. Thereby, the second digital signature is less computationally intensive in its generation than the first digital signature.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Buhler, Klaus Kursawe, Roman Maeder, Michael Osborne
