  • Three-dimensional fracture abundance evaluation of subsurface formation based on geomechanical simulation of mechanical properties thereof
    Patent number: 10853533
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product evaluate fracture abundance in a subsurface formation by modeling a fracture network in a three-dimensional volume using geometric primitives and based at least in part on geomechanical simulation of mechanical properties of the subsurface formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2020
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Romain Plateaux, Paul Wilson, Russell Davies, Danny Povey, Mustapha Lejri, Stephen Grenfell
  • Three-dimensional subsurface formation evaluation using projection-based area operations
    Patent number: 10650107
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product utilize projection-based area operations to accelerate the determination of subsurface structure parameters for subsurface structures such as fractures, faults and horizons in a subsurface formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Frantz Maerten, Romain Plateaux, Jean-Pierre Joonnekindt, Stephen Grenfell, Mustapha Lejri
  • Three-dimensional fracture abundance evaluation of subsurface formations
    Patent number: 10113421
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product evaluate fracture abundance in a subsurface formation by modeling a fracture network in a three-dimensional volume using geometric primitives. A fracture abundance parameter, e.g., a P32 fracture density, may be determined in part based upon the combined areas of the primitives with cells of a three-dimensional grid.
