ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,460,531, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Halliburton Energy Services Inc. (Houston).
"Subsurface formation radial profiling using combined processing of omni-directional and pad-type tools" was invented by Baris Guner (Houston) and Ahmed E. Fouda (Houston).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods to generate radial resistivity profiles of formations using combined measurements from omni-directional and pad-type tools are described. Measurements from a pad-type resistivity tool are obtained along a wellbore drilled through a subsurface formation. Measurements from an omni-directional resistivity tool (e.g., a dual laterolog) are...
