US Patent Issued to Halliburton Energy Services on Oct. 21 for "Calibrating electromagnetic corrosion detection tools via core saturation" (Texas Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,448,880, issued on Oct. 21, was assigned to Halliburton Energy Services Inc. (Houston).

"Calibrating electromagnetic corrosion detection tools via core saturation" was invented by Burkay Donderici (Houston) and Ahmed E. Fouda (Spring, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and devices used to calibrate EM corrosion detection tools may estimate the effects of the presence of a core on measurements to enable more accurate corrosion detection in the well line. The methods may involve sending voltages to a core of a well tool disposed in the well line to obtain signals while the core is in a saturated and unsaturated state. Subsequent ...
