Abstract: A method and apparatus for seismic analysis include obtaining an initial geophysical model and seismic data for a subsurface region; producing a subsurface image of the subsurface region with the seismic data and the geophysical model; generating a map of one or more geologic features of the subsurface region by automatically interpreting the subsurface image; and iteratively updating the geophysical model, subsurface image, and map of geologic features by: building an updated geophysical model based on the geophysical model of a prior iteration constrained by one or more geologic features from the prior iteration; imaging the seismic data with the updated geophysical model to produce an updated subsurface image; and automatically interpreting the updated subsurface image to generate an updated map of geologic features. The method and apparatus may also include post-stack migration, pre-stack time migration, pre-stack depth migration, reverse-time migration, gradient-based tomography, and/or gradient-based inversion methods.

Abstract: A method for enhancing properties of geophysical data with deep learning networks. Geophysical data may be acquired by positioning a source of sound waves at a chosen shot location, and measuring back-scattered energy generated by the source using receivers placed at selected locations. For example, seismic data may be collected using towed streamer acquisition in order to derive subsurface properties or to form images of the subsurface. However, towed streamer data may be deficient in one or more properties (e.g., at low frequencies). To compensate for the deficiencies, another survey (such as an Ocean Bottom Nodes (OBN) survey) may be sparsely acquired in order to train a neural network. The trained neural network may then be used to compensate for the towed streamer deficient properties, such as by using the trained neural network to extend the towed streamer data to the low frequencies.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining adsorption isotherms for complex mixtures. In at least one embodiment, a method for obtaining adsorption isotherms for liquid mixtures includes providing a column comprising an adsorbent. The method includes delivering a composition to the column, the composition comprising a multi-component feed and a solvent. The method includes collecting a sample from the column and introducing the sample to a two dimensional gas chromatograph to determine a time-series concentration of one or more components of the sample. The method includes integrating the time-series concentration of at least one of the one or more components to determine an isotherm of the at least one component. The method includes obtaining quantitative information of the at least one component, based on the isotherm of the at least one component.

Abstract: A valve installation is provided, including a valve assembly having a valve, and a fluidized valve actuator coupled with the valve assembly. The actuator includes at least two cylinders and pistons positioned to communicate fluid to apply pressure to the valve assembly. Extension of each piston communicates pressure to the valve assembly and at least partially lifts the valve into an at least partially lifted and open position. The valve installation may be used to regulate fluid flow in various systems, including cyclical swing adsorption processes.

Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks are synthesized from either a high concentration synthesis where reaction solutions comprising increased reagent concentrations, or suspensions of reagents which exceed their solubility limit in the reaction solution in a high solids synthesis. In both approaches, the solubility of reagent is maximized by inclusion of a buffer, fixing a nominal pH of the reaction solution to allow metal-organic framework formation. These methods improve yields and scale up of metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract: Methods of producing metal catalysts can include mixing two or more metal salts and an aluminum salt in water to produce a metal catalyst precursor solution having a pH of about 2.5 to about 4.0; mixing the metal catalyst precursor solution and a basic solution having a pH of about 10 to about 13 to produce a mixture with a pH of about 6 to about 7 and a precipitate; producing a powder from the precipitate; and calcining the powder to produce a metal catalyst. Such metal catalysts may be useful in producing bifunctional catalyst systems that are useful in, among other things, converting syngas to dimethyl ether in a single reactor.
