  • Guided bayesian experimental design
    Patent number: 9720130
    Abstract: A Bayesian methodology is described for designing experiments or surveys that are improved by utilizing available prior information to guide the design toward maximally reducing posterior uncertainties in the interpretation of the future experiment. Synthetic geophysical tomography examples are used to illustrate benefits of this approach.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2017
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Hugues A. Djikpesse, Mohamed-Rabigh Khodja, Michael David Prange
  • Selecting a survey setting for characterizing a target structure
    Patent number: 9146330
    Abstract: Complex-valued sensitivity data structures corresponding to respective candidate survey settings are provided, where the sensitivity data structures relate measurement data associated with a target structure to at least one parameter of a model of the target structure. Based on the sensitivity data structures, a subset of the candidate survey settings is selected according to a criterion for enhancing resolution in characterizing the target structure.
