  • Publication number: 20250060498
    Abstract: Techniques for imaging a subterranean formation include activating an acoustic energy source that is at least partially submerged in a volume of liquid on or under a terranean surface; based on the activating, producing acoustic wave energy that travels through the volume of liquid and to a subterranean zone below the terranean surface; receiving, at one or more acoustic receivers, reflected acoustic wave energy from the subterranean zone; and generating, with a control system, data associated with the subterranean zone based on the reflected acoustic wave energy.

  • Publication number: 20240369726
    Abstract: A system includes a mobile vehicle including a geolocator and an active acoustic source configured to generate acoustic wave energy directed toward a fiber optic network that includes one or more fiber optic cables and a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogator communicably coupled to the one or more fiber optic cables; and a control system. The control system is configured to perform operations including acquiring a signal from the DAS interrogator in response to the acoustic wave energy generated from the active acoustic energy source during movement of the mobile vehicle on or above the terranean surface; determining a geolocation of the mobile vehicle from the geolocator during or subsequent to acquisition of the signal from the DAS interrogator; and determining a location of the at least one fiber optic cable based on the determined geolocation of the mobile vehicle during acquisition of the signal from the DAS interrogator.

  • Patent number: 12026824
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, a first processor coupled to the non-volatile memory and configured to receive a data set associated with an object and user information associated with a spatial position of a user in a multi-user virtual (IMVR) environment, and a second processor coupled to the volatile memory, the second processor configured to render an instance of the portion of the object in the IMVR environment from a perspective of the user based on the spatial position of the user. The first processor is configured to generate a look-up table (LUT) based on a set of inputs received from a user. The second processor is configured to render, based on the LUT and information related to a manipulation by a user, an updated instance of the portion of the object that manifests an effect of the manipulation in the IMVR environment.

  • Publication number: 20240070459
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for effectively training a machine learning model to identify features in DAS and/or seismic imaging data with limited or no human labels. This is accomplished using a masked autoencoder (MAE) network that is trained in multiple stages. The first stage is a self-supervised learning (SSL) stage where the model is generically trained to predict data that has been removed (masked) from an original dataset. The second stage involves performing additional predictive training on a second dataset that is specific to a particular geographic region, or specific to a certain set of desired features. The model is fine-tuned using labeled data in order to develop feature extraction capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11227372
    Abstract: Prestack images from the object store are hierarchically combined to generate a hierarchically stacked image. The hierarchically stacked image is generated by combining stacked images that includes a stacked image. The stacked image is generated by combining at least the prestack images. Based at least on the hierarchically stacked image, a quality measure of a prestack image is generated. Prior to deleting at least a subset of the prestack images from the object store and based at least on the quality measure, the prestack images are further combined to generate an enhanced stacked image. The stacked image is substituted using the enhanced stacked image. Subsequent to the substituting and prior to deleting at least the subset of the stacked images from the object store, the stacked images are combined to generate an enhanced hierarchically stacked image. The enhanced stacked image and the enhanced hierarchically stacked image are generated using failure recovery metadata.

  • Publication number: 20070073280
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a lesion in tissue along a desired ablation path includes a guide member having a tissue-opposing surface for placement against a heart surface. A guide carriage is sized to be received within the guide member and moveable therein along a longitudinal axis. The carriage is configured to receive an optical fiber extending substantially axially within the carriage and bend the fiber for a discharge tip of the fiber to aim through a bottom wall of the guide member. The carriage is further configured to bend the fiber toward said discharge tip with a curved portion subject to mechanical stress and a straight portion at the fiber discharge tip. The straight portion is selected to have a length to dissipate thermal stress arising from reflectance of light from the tissue back into the discharge tip.

  • Publication number: 20070073281
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a lesion in tissue along a desired ablation path includes a guide member having a tissue-opposing surface for placement against a heart surface. A guide carriage is sized to be received within the guide member and moveable therein along a longitudinal axis. A flexible tubular member extends from a proximal end of said carriage and through a length of the guide member with the tubular member adapted to move the carriage within the guide member upon application of a force to the tubular member. A system urges the carriage to move in a path along an axis of the guide member by amount substantially identical to a displacement of a force application location on the flexible tubular member.
