Latest Patents

Gary Poole holds a patent for a "System and method for seismic survey design." This invention involves selecting a seismic survey grid as a basis for designing a seismic survey. The method includes generating off-the-grid locations by imposing spatial or temporal constraints on on-the-grid locations. It also involves mapping these off-the-grid locations from a physical domain to a pre-selected domain using a multidimensional transform. Furthermore, the invention applies a pre-selected process to minimize the rank of the off-the-grid locations in the pre-selected domain. The seismic survey design is updated based on which off-the-grid locations have the minimum rank until a pre-selected threshold is met, indicating an optimal seismic survey design. The system also includes acquiring seismic data using this optimal design and enables performing wellsite actions based on the seismic data.
