Latest Patents

Singh is associated with 1 patent, titled “Learning Hydrocarbon Distribution from Seismic Image.” The disclosure concerns determining rock properties in subterranean formations and estimating hydrocarbon distribution. It describes a geometrical element spread function that quantifies geological distortion as it appears in seismic images processed by geophysicists.

The disclosed method uses seismic data collected from a subterranean formation to generate seismic images. It then creates synthetic images from those seismic images and determines rock properties by considering both the original and synthetic images. This approach is intended to support interpretation of subsurface geology and hydrocarbon distribution.
