Nasher Muqbel AlBinHassan 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: 11874419
    Abstract: A method is claimed for automatically transforming sonic well logs from a depth domain to a seismic two-way travel-time domain. The method includes obtaining a training well with a measured sonic well log in the depth domain and a borehole seismic dataset in the depth domain and obtaining an application well with only a measured sonic well log in the depth domain. The method further includes training a network to predict a transformed sonic well log for the training well based, at least in part, on the measured sonic well log and the borehole seismic dataset in the training well, and predicting with the network, the transformed sonic well log in the application well.

  • Patent number: 11796714
    Abstract: Methods for determination of mechanical properties of geological formations using deep learning include receiving, by a computer system, data acquired during drilling a geological formation. The computer system generates features of the data acquired during drilling. The features are indicative of mechanical properties of the geological formation. The computer system segments the features of the data acquired during drilling into sequences readable by a trained temporal convolutional network (TCN). The computer system determines the mechanical properties of the geological formation using the TCN based on the sequences obtained from the features of the data. A display device of the computer system generates a graphical representation of the mechanical properties of the geological formation.

  • Publication number: 20220137245
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for seismic well tie domain conversion. In one embodiment, a process is provided to integrate well and seismic data for reservoir characterization. System configurations and processes described herein use neural networks to predict sonic well logs in the two way time (TWT) domain from measured well logs in depth, rather than predicting drift function. Embodiments are also directed to systems for reservoir characterization. Domain conversion of data includes receiving input data, preprocessing the data, and training a model to determine a length of an output sequence. The method also includes training the model for conversion of data based on at least one neural network. A sequence length prediction may be output as part of training and to perform modeling/prediction operations. The method also includes outputting sequence length in a TWT domain and output of transformed data.
