Introduction

Marcelo Gomes is an inventor associated with Houston, Texas, and Landmark Graphics Corporation. His patent work addresses the use of seismic images to determine properties of subterranean formations and learn how hydrocarbons are distributed within them.

Latest Patents

Gomes is associated with 1 patent: “Learning Hydrocarbon Distribution from Seismic Image.” The disclosure describes a geometrical element spread function for quantifying geological distortion as represented in seismic images processed by geophysicists. It also presents a method for determining rock properties by combining seismic images with synthetic images.

The method obtains seismic data from a subterranean formation, generates seismic images from that data, creates synthetic images based on the seismic images, and uses both image types to determine the formation’s rock properties. This approach connects seismic interpretation with the analysis of subsurface geology and hydrocarbon distribution.

Career Highlights

Gomes’s listed patent reflects work at the intersection of seismic imaging, geological interpretation, and hydrocarbon exploration. The disclosed method uses both acquired seismic data and synthetic images to support the assessment of subterranean rock properties.

Collaborations

Gomes is associated with Landmark Graphics Corporation. His listed coworker is Konstantin Osypov.

Conclusion

Marcelo Gomes’s patent focuses on using seismic and synthetic images to improve the determination of subterranean rock properties and the understanding of hydrocarbon distribution.
