  • Patent number: 10353356
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to methods and systems of geosteering or geological operations. In some embodiments, systems of the present disclosure may transmit MWD or LWD data to a processor. The processor may extrapolate and convert the MWD or LWD data into KBTVD or pseudo-vertical data. Said extrapolation may be performed based on algorithmic expressions between the True Vertical Depth, the formation dip angle, and a Vertical Section Distance. In some embodiments, vertical data may be extrapolated by a processor and converted into pseudo-horizontal data. In some embodiments, systems may evaluate the formation dip angle and extrapolate a corrected true thickness of an interval layer. Screen representations of aforementioned data may be provided for. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide for improved or more accurate data and/or virtualizations in the horizontal and/or vertical directions.

  • Publication number: 20060209507
    Abstract: A media holding device for connecting an electronic component to a computer is described herein. An embodiment of the device comprises a bay comprising a bay first side and a bay second side, wherein the electronic component is receivable in the bay first side. The media holding device may also comprise a first circuit comprising a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is located proximate the bay second side. A third connector associated with the electronic component is connectable to the first connector when the electronic component is received within the bay. A connector associated with the computer is connectable to the second connector. The circuit translates a first data protocol transmitted by way of the first connector to a second data protocol transmitted by way of the second connector. The media holding device may further comprise a release member, wherein the release member is movable relative to the bay.
