ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,034, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to ConocoPhillips Co. (Houston).
"Measurement of poroelastic pressure response" was invented by Nicolas Patrick Roussel (Houston).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Method for characterizing subterranean formation is described. One method involves injecting a fluid into an active well of the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to induce one or more hydraulic fractures. Measuring, via a pressure sensor, a poroelastic pressure response caused by inducing of the one or more hydraulic fractures. The pressure sensor is in at least partial hydraulic isolation with the one or more hydraulic fracture...
