Publication number: 20240251007Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for establishing, using, and recovering universal digital identifiers. In an embodiment, a system establishes a universal identifier (ID) associated with a user and a device of the user. The universal ID is universal with respect to a plurality of distinct entities, has at least a suspended state and an unsuspended state, and initially is in the unsuspended state. The system transmits the universal ID to the device of the user. Thereafter, the system detects an ID-suspension event in connection with the universal ID, and responsively suspends the universal ID, including placing the universal ID in the suspended state. After suspending the universal ID, the system completes an ID-recovery process for the universal ID, and responsively unsuspends the universal ID, including placing the universal ID in the unsuspended state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Chad E. Adams, Daniel Robert Caricato, Kahlidah B. Covington, Ashley Brook Godfrey, Christopher Wayne Howser, Nicola A. Maiorana, Nirali J. Patel, Richard Joseph Schroeder, Roger Daryll White

Publication number: 20240061140Abstract: The present device and technique relates to measuring geological formation permeability, such as by injection/withdrawal of conductivity-permeability doped fluid and measuring the magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the surrounding formation. Before, during and/or after injection or withdrawal, pluralities of electromagnetic measurements of the radial distribution of magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the surrounding formation may be made. The rate of change of the radial distribution of magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the formation is generally directly proportional to the permeability of the surrounding formation. In implementations, magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity can be measured independently in time domain or frequency domain, such that the magnetic permeability mapping is not disturbed by other confounding electromagnetic parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Val Riachentsev, Robert Adams, Max Deffenbaugh, Howard K.

Patent number: 11860077Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for performing real-time measurements of drilling fluid in a well. A driver and a reference are monitored for responses by a measurement controller of a system for measuring fluid flow. The driver is configured as a driving electromechanical resonator for contacting the drilling fluid. The reference is configured as a reference electromechanical resonator for contacting the drilling fluid. The reference is of a similar construction as the driver and is in contact with the drilling fluid in a substantially same way. Real-time measurements are performed by the measurement controller based on information received from the driver and reference. A viscosity and density of the drilling fluid are determined based on the real-time measurements. The similar construction of the driver and reference enables mitigation of environmental sensitivities of the driver and reference, enhancing fluid property sensitivities to physical properties of the drilling fluid.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Robert Adams, Edwin Hulse, Miguel Gonzalez, Tim Thiel
