Patent number: 11301491Abstract: Exploration and production data can be provided from one or more devices and categorized at a data lake system. The data lake system can include a temporary data repository where data is initially analyzed for determining whether the data includes data markers. Data markers can be correlated to existing data provided by the data lake system in order that tags can be generated for the incoming data. When data markers or other metadata is unavailable from the incoming data, the incoming data can be flagged for further processing to identify any available context that can be used as a basis for tagging.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Stephen Whitley, Josiane Magnoux, Colin Wier, Brandon Plost

Publication number: 20210330057Abstract: A cosmetic carrying case and applicator is described. The cosmetic carrying case and application includes a pod connected to a base. The pod has a receiving surface located on an underside of the pod. Lip balm or another type of cosmetic material is contained within the receiving surface located on the underside of the pod. At least two sides of the pod act as finger grips for the user to grip in order to remove the pod from the base and to apply the lip balm or other cosmetic material. The pod acts as a surface for the lip balm or cosmetic material and applicator. The cosmetic carrying case can be adhered or otherwise attached to another object such as a wallet or cellular phone for easy access by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventor: Davis Stephen Whitley

Publication number: 20200272640Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are set forth for tagging exploration and production data to make such data more readily available for clients seeking to leverage the data for analytics and other services. The exploration and production data can be provided from one or more devices and categorized at a data lake system. The data lake system can include a temporary data repository where data is initially analyzed for determining whether the data includes data markers. Data markers can be correlated to existing data provided by the data lake system in order that tags can be generated for the incoming data. When data markers or other metadata is unavailable from the incoming data, the incoming data can be flagged for further processing to identify any available context that can be used as a basis for tagging.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2018Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Stephen WHITLEY, Josiane MAGNOUX, Colin WIER, Brandon PLOST

Publication number: 20160003954Abstract: Methods and apparatus that facilitate acquisition of seismic data. A plurality of acquisition locations within an area of interest may be determined and provided to aerial vehicles. Seismic data may be received from the aerial vehicle. In another example, an aerial vehicle includes a positioning system that determines location of the apparatus; a seismic sensor that senses seismic data; a memory that stores seismic data; and a transceiver that provides telemetric data and the seismic data to a controller device. In at least one example, a method for acquiring seismic data is provided including receiving location information at an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may navigate to a location based on the location information and a seismic sensor may acquire seismic data. The aerial vehicle may be navigated to a controller device and the acquired seismic data may be provided to the controller device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2015Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Floyd L.

Publication number: 20140195290Abstract: The invention provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for facilitating the execution of one or more tasks. Task data pertaining to a plurality of tasks and worker data pertaining to one or more workers may be saved to a computer system. Each worker may be provided with an electronic device capable of determining and transmitting its geographical location (and thus the worker's geographical location) to the computer system via one or more computer networks. In one embodiment, task data and worker data may be analyzed and compared in order to identify eligible workers for each task. Once eligible workers have been identified, they may be assigned to one or more tasks and notified accordingly. In one embodiment, the task data and worker data stored by the computer system may be dynamically updated to reflect worker assignments and completed tasks.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Brandon David Plost, Patrick Daniel Dineen, Stephen Whitley, Floyd Louis Broussard, III, Scott Raphael, Horacio Ricardo Bouzas, Cyril Laroche-Py, Chad Brockman, Vignesh Venkataraman

Each worker may be provided with an electronic device capable of determining and transmitting its geographical location (and thus the worker's geographical location) to the computer system via one or more computer networks. In one embodiment, the system allows for the tracking of each task or work-related activity performed by each worker. The system may include pre-determined workflows to assist the worker in completing a task. Workflows may include recommended solutions to problems that may be encountered given the project or task at issue. In one embodiment, one or more effectiveness metrics may be utilized in order to ascertain the effectiveness of one or more of the workflows.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2014Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen Whitley, Floyd Louis Broussard, III, Brandon David Plost, Scott Raphael, Patrick Daniel Dineen, Horacio Ricardo Bouzas, Cyril Laroche-Py, Chad Brockman, Vignesh Venkataraman
