Patent number: 11848206Abstract: A method of producing graphene or other two-dimensional material such as graphene including heating the substrate held within a reaction chamber to a temperature that is within a decomposition range of a precursor, and that allows two-dimensional crystalline material formation from a species released from the decomposed precursor; establishing a steep temperature gradient (preferably >1000° C. per meter) that extends away from the substrate surface towards an inlet for the precursor; and introducing precursor through the relatively cool inlet and across the temperature gradient towards the substrate surface. The steep temperature gradient ensures that the precursor remains substantially cool until it is proximate the substrate surface thus minimizing decomposition or other reaction of the precursor before it is proximate the substrate surface. The separation between the precursor inlet and the substrate is less than 100 mm.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Paragraf Ltd.Inventor: Simon Charles Stewart Thomas

Patent number: 10830919Abstract: A method of mapping subsurface fracture geometry below a surface of the ground includes two independently powered systems, namely a plurality of sensors distributed through a hole in the subsurface and a downhole tool to facilitate reception and transmission of signal data from the plurality of sensors. The sensors are distributed into fissures within formations that have been hydraulically fractured. The sensors send signal data to the downhole tool for transmission to a unit on the surface. The signal data permits for the mapping of the fissures within the fractured formations.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Inventors: Stewart Thomas Taylor, John David Newton

Patent number: 10120093Abstract: Methods for in-situ reservoir investigation by borehole seismic methods are provided using receiver(s) and a downhole source. The downhole source may be a microseismic event, and may be located relative to the receiver(s) in any configuration. The downhole source may also be a controlled source that is positioned in a reverse vertical seismic profile (RVSP) geometry with respect to the receiver(s). The methods may involve locating the receiver(s) in a first well (which may have any orientation, including vertical or horizontal), and locating the source in a monitoring well (which may have any orientation, including vertical or horizontal), such that the source in the monitoring well is positioned at a greater depth in the formation than the receivers in the first well.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Joel Herve Le Calvez, Stewart Thomas Taylor

Patent number: 9835017Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention utilizes computer models to calculate predicted spectral estimates that may be encountered during a hydraulic fracturing operation. Seismic events generated by hydraulic fracturing are mapped and displayed upon a graphic user interface. Spectral attributes of selected seismic wave field data from the fracture operation are derived and compared to predicted spectral estimates that match one or more characteristics of the formation. The comparison may be utilized to generate a predicted hydrocarbon content for the fracture zone of the formation and to adjust or alter the hydraulic fracturing operation in order to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventor: Stewart Thomas Taylor
