Patents by Inventor Victoria BAINES

Victoria BAINES has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11814931
    Abstract: Using machine learning for sedimentary facies prediction by using one or more logs acquired in a borehole. This includes performing a petrophysical clustering of borehole depths wherein the depths of the borehole are gathered into clusters based on similarities in the one or more logs. Also performed is a log inclusion optimization, including a selection of one or more parameters of the petrophysical clustering, wherein the one or more parameters include a number and/or type of considered logs among the one or more logs and/or a clustering method. Also performed is a classification of the clusters into core depositional facies using one or more predetermined rules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 10495774
    Abstract: Irreducible water saturation of fluid-storing porous reservoir rock is determined using methods that include obtaining a reservoir rock sample from the underground fluid reservoir; performing mercury saturation measurements on the reservoir rock sample for different mercury injection pressure values to obtain mercury saturation values for the different mercury injection pressure values; and estimating the irreducible water saturation (Swirr) from the mercury saturation values and the mercury injection pressure values by correcting for surface films of fluid retained on pore walls of the reservoir rock.
