ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,298,458, issued on May 13, was assigned to ENEGIS LLC (Fairfax, Va.).
"Methods for creating a critical crust reservoir model" was invented by Peter Geiser (Lyons, Colo.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Provided herein are systems and methods for generating reservoir models including the SOC nature of the Earth's crust. The methods employ seismic emission tomography (SET) to generate three dimensional models of a formation providing permeability without the need for traditional reservoir modeling techniques and allowing for the identification of naturally-occurring permeability pathways that provide accurate and precise locations for the ef...
