  • Patent number: 10606967
    Abstract: Actual distributed temperature sensing (DTS) data and pressure data are received in response to a stimulation treatment applied to a hydrocarbon field. A pre-stimulation model is built that includes reservoir parameters, which generates simulated DTS and pressure data as a function of the reservoir parameters that include a permeability parameter and a skin parameter. In response to determining that a thermal match between the actual DTS and pressure data and the simulated DTS and pressure data is not obtained, the reservoir parameters are updated. In response to determining that the updated reservoir parameters do not match a performed pressure transient analysis (PTA), the reservoir parameters and the pre-stimulation model are updated, and the simulated DTS and pressure data are re-generated based on the updated pre-stimulation model.

  • Patent number: 9523789
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and transmitter assemblies for exploring geophysical formations at great depths. In order to explore the formation, transmitter assemblies with a size less than 500 nanometers are inserted into the formation. The transmitter assemblies propel through the formation, analyzing fluids and conditions as each moves through the formation. The transmitter assemblies can communicate with a machine on the surface via a series of receivers and transmitters located in the wellbore. The machine on the surface is able to combine and analyze the data from the nanorobots to create a three dimensional map of the formation. The map shows the locations of pathways through the formation, pockets of hydrocarbons within the formation, and the boundaries of the formation.

  • Patent number: 8164500
    Abstract: A continuous-time delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. The ADC includes a loop filter, a loop quantizer, and a clock-jitter tolerant digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The clock-jitter tolerant DAC includes a dual switched-current (SI) DAC, a switched-capacitor (SC) DAC, an adder, and a switched-capacitor-resistor (SCR) injection circuit. The dual SI DAC provides two identical analog signals from the feedback digital signal of a loop quantizer within the ADC. The SC DAC provides an error-free reference signal from the feedback digital signal. The adder subtracts one of the two analog signals from the error-free reference signal to obtain an inverted jitter-induced error signal. The SCR injection circuit then injects the inverted jitter-induced error signal, delayed by one clock-cycle, in the form of a half-delay return-to-zero exponentially decaying waveform into the loop filter.
