Patents by Inventor Peter W. CRAMER

Peter W. CRAMER 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).

  • Controlled source fracture monitoring
    Patent number: 8869888
    Abstract: Reservoir fractures are visualized using electrically active proppants to carry electric signals throughout the fracture. The electric signals are easily detected at the surface using RF antennae and a three-dimensional image of the fracture is generated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2014
    Assignee: ConocoPhillips Company
    Inventors: Peter W. Cramer, Peter M. Eick, Joel D. Brewer
  • 4D seismic signal analysis
    Patent number: 8717846
    Abstract: Methods of seismic data collection are described that reduce the amount of data required, reduce noise in the data collected and collect more data in areas where data collection is required. This results in a dramatic reduction of datasets required and improves noise reduction in data collected. By reducing the amount of data collected and increasing the noise reduction, a more accurate seismic survey is conducted at a dramatically reduced cost.
