Title: Amanda L. Weber and Her Patent on Drilling-Fluid Density Evaluation.

Introduction

Amanda L. Weber is an inventor associated with Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Schlumberger Technology Corporation. Her patent work addresses the measurement of drilling-fluid and cuttings density in subterranean wellbores.

Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent associated with Weber: “Methods for Evaluating Cuttings Density While Drilling.” The method uses pressure measurements taken at two or more axially spaced locations in a wellbore to determine the drilling-fluid density between those locations. A tool string equipped with multiple pressure sensors can collect measurements across several wellbore intervals, with data transmitted to a surface processor through wired drill pipe. The resulting interval-density measurements can be processed to estimate cuttings density in the annulus, while changes in density over time can indicate changes in the cuttings concentration.

Career Highlights

Weber’s listed patent reflects work on downhole measurement and monitoring during drilling. The approach combines distributed pressure sensing with data processing to provide information about conditions in the wellbore while drilling is underway. The supplied data lists 1 patent for Weber.

Collaborations

The information provided names Schlumberger Technology Corporation as Weber’s company and lists Marcus Turner and John James as coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Amanda L. Weber’s listed invention applies pressure measurements and interval-density analysis to help evaluate cuttings in a wellbore during drilling.
