BOREHOLE ACQUISITION OPERATION INTERVAL VIA STONELEY WAVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18058939 titled 'BOREHOLE ACQUISITION OPERATION INTERVAL VIA STONELEY WAVE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for analyzing Stoneley wave data acquired in a borehole to generate formation and borehole information, and then using this information to identify an interval along the borehole for a downhole acquisition operation by a downhole tool using a machine learning model.

  • Receiving Stoneley wave data acquired by a sonic tool in a borehole
  • Performing an inversion using the Stoneley wave data to generate formation and borehole information
  • Identifying an interval along the borehole for a downhole acquisition operation by a downhole tool using a machine learning model and the generated information as input

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the oil and gas industry for reservoir characterization and well logging operations.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in accurately identifying intervals for downhole acquisition operations, leading to more efficient data collection and analysis.

Benefits

The use of machine learning models improves the accuracy and efficiency of identifying intervals for downhole operations, ultimately leading to better decision-making in the field.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Enhancing Downhole Operations Efficiency in the Oil and Gas Industry with Machine Learning"

Possible Prior Art
