  • Patent number: 11668853
    Abstract: A method and system for modeling a subsurface region include applying a trained machine learning network to an initial petrophysical parameter estimate to predict a geologic prior model; and performing a petrophysical inversion with the geologic prior model, geophysical data, and geophysical parameters to generate a rock type probability model and an updated petrophysical parameter estimate. Embodiments include managing hydrocarbons with the rock type probability model.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11585956
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for radiaiiy profiling shear velocities of flexural wave modes in a formation. The method includes establishing sensitivity kernels with two non-dimensionalized parameters and using said sensitivity kernels to perform an inversion for radial shear wave velocity profiles. This method may be used for LWD, MWD, or wireline logging operations.

  • Patent number: 10651000
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a preparation method of pressed Scandia-doped dispenser cathode using microwave sintering. Embodiments of the present disclosure include dissolving some nitrates and ammonium metatungstate with deionized water to prepare a homogeneous solution. Precursor powder with uniform size is obtained by spray drying, the precursor powder is decomposed, and two-step reduction may be proceeded to form doped tungsten powder with uniform element distribution. The cathode is prepared by one-time microwave sintering. One-time forming of cathode sintering is realized, and sintering shrinkage and sintering time are reduced significantly. The method has excellent repeatability, and the cathode has a homogeneous structure and excellent emission performance at 950° C.

  • Patent number: 9828654
    Abstract: Provided is a method for directly recovering lead oxide used for a lead-acid battery negative electrode from waste lead paste. The method comprises: (1) contacting waste lead paste with a barium-containing desulphurizer under desulphurization reaction conditions, and performing a solid-liquid separation on the mixture after contacting to obtain a filtrate and a filtration residue; and (2) performing a conversion reaction on the above-mentioned filtration residue at a temperature of 350-750° C. so as to convert the lead-containing components in the filtration residue into lead oxide. In the method, the direct recovery of a lead oxide raw material applicable to a lead-acid battery negative electrode from waste lead paste is achieved by quantitatively replenishing a barium sulphate additive in the process of desulphuration thereby substantially decreasing the recovery cost and energy consumption, and improving the comprehensive utilization of waste lead paste.
