Methods And Systems For Determining The Orientation Of Natural Fractures

View page
US Patent:
6985816, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/674937
Inventors:
Gordon G. Sorrells - Garland TX, US
Norman R. Warpinski - Albuquerque NM, US
Chris Wright - Mill Valley CA, US
Eric Davis - El Cerrito CA, US
Assignee:
Pinnacle Technologies, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G01V 1/28
US Classification:
702 14
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for determining the orientation of natural fractures in the Earth resulting from hydraulic fracturing treatment. Data attribute information from a far-field point-source signal profile for a microseismic event is extracted in the time domain. An estimate of the orientation of the natural fracture is calculated in the time domain based on the extracted data attribute information.

Microseismic Fracture Mapping Using Seismic Source Timing Measurements For Velocity Calibration

US Patent:
7660194, Feb 9, 2010
Filed:
Apr 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/111627
Inventors:
James E. Uhl - Albuquerque NM, US
Chris Wright - Mill Valley CA, US
Eric Davis - El Cerrito CA, US
James Ward - San Francisco CA, US
Norman Warpinski - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 1/40
US Classification:
367 25, 367 55, 367 57, 181106
Abstract:
A system and method for microseismic fracture mapping using seismic source timing measurements for velocity calibration is disclosed. The system may include a seismic source coupled to a wireline and a seismic source trigger, a sensor capable of detecting a first signal from the seismic source trigger, a transmitter coupled to the sensor, capable of transmitting a time value associated with the first signal, a receiver capable of detecting an event generated by the seismic source; and an analyzer capable of calculating a microseismic velocity of the event. In one embodiment, a first signal is transmitted through a wireline to trigger a seismic source. The first signal is detected, and a first time value associated with the first signal is transmitted. An event associated with the seismic source is detected and a second signal associated with the event is transmitted to an analyzer. A microseismic velocity is calibrated based on the time difference between the first time value and a second time value associated with the second signal.

US Patent:
20060081412, Apr 20, 2006
Filed:
Mar 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/080591
Inventors:
Chris Wright - Mill Valley CA, US
Eric Davis - El Cerrito CA, US
Larry Griffin - Spring TX, US
Kevin Fisher - Katy TX, US
George King - Richmond TX, US
Norman Warpinski - Albuquerque NM, US
James Ward - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:
Pinnacle Technologies, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G01V 1/40
G01V 1/00
US Classification:
181104000, 181108000
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring geophysical processes is disclosed. The system may include a component array located within the bore hole of the active well, or, alternatively, in the bore hole of a nearby offset well, or, alternatively, in multiple shallow boreholes in the surface around the active well. The system may include a sensor array located within a bore, wherein the sensor array has at least one tilt sensor and at least one microseismic sensor, a transmitter in communication with the at least one tilt sensor and the at least one microseismic sensor, and a receiver in communication with the transmitter. In one embodiment, data comprising tiltmeter data and microseismic data from a sensor during at least one geophysical process is received. The microseismic data is analyzed to ascertain a location of each microseismic event of a plurality of microseismic events isolated from the microseismic data, and the tiltmeter data is analyzed to ascertain orientation and dimension of a fracture developed during said at least one geophysical process.

US Patent:
20120014211, Jan 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/838726
Inventors:
Norman WARPINSKI - Cypress TX, US
Etienne M. SAMSON - Houston TX, US
Lawrence G. GRIFFIN - Tulsa OK, US
Assignee:
HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX
International Classification:
H04B 17/00

Abstract:
Objects are monitored in a subterranean well. A well system can include at least one object having a transmitter, and at least one sensing device which monitors displacement of the object along a wellbore. A method of monitoring at least one object in a subterranean well can include positioning at least one sensing device in a wellbore of the well, and then displacing the object through the wellbore, the sensing device monitoring the object as it displaces through the wellbore.

Statistics-Based Seismic Event Detection

View page
US Patent:
20130336091, Dec 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/526027
Inventors:
Fuxian Song - Cambridge MA, US
Norman Warpinski - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 1/28
US Classification:
367 38
Abstract:
Automated detection of microseismic events is performed by a system and method that provides automated calculation of one or more statistical parameters for statistics-based detection of microseismic events of interest. An event detector to perform signal subspace-based detection may automatically, e.g. iteratively, be configured based on the one or more automatically calculated and/or estimated statistical parameters, which may include a signal subspace dimension, an effective embedding dimension, a detection threshold, and/or a false alarm rate. Some of the statistical parameters may be calculated based on custom-generated synthetic seismic data.
