    Abstract: The thickness of subsurface layers if they had remained as they were prior to compaction may be estimated by restoring the volume of void space lost during compaction. Decompacted depths below seafloor, the depths the layers would be if compaction had not occurred, may be determined for the layers. A surrogate decompaction velocity may then be determined by dividing the decompacted depths by the travel times of acoustic waves that reflect off layers within the subsurface region. The decompaction velocity may be used in post-processing of acoustic data to produce a decompacted digital representation of the subsurface region. The decompacted digital representation may be used to directly interpret the thickness of layers prior to compaction, sedimentation rates over time, fault offsets, and other phenomena distorted by compaction.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface provides visualization of operation tasks for a well ordered in a sequence. The graphical user interface shows different types of timing for the operation tasks, such as planned timing, estimated timing, and actual timing for the operation tasks. Different types of timing are arranged in a hierarchy so that setting one type of timing for an operation task overrides another type of timing for the operation task. Changes to timing of an operation task are automatically propagated to other operation tasks.

    Abstract: A method for identifying an unidentified subterranean sample may include comparing values for a subset of fluid chemistry parameters associated with the unidentified subterranean sample to values of corresponding fluid chemistry parameters associated with a plurality of identified subterranean samples. The method may also include determining, based on comparing the values for the subset of fluid chemistry parameters associated with the unidentified subterranean sample to the values of the corresponding fluid chemistry parameters associated with the plurality of identified subterranean samples, an estimated value for a target parameter associated with the unidentified subterranean sample. The method may further include recategorizing the unidentified subterranean sample as being among the plurality of identified subterranean samples based on the estimated value for the target parameter.

    Abstract: A wiper barrier plug assembly can include a wiper plug, an expandable plug, and a trigger device that includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and a mechanical trigger, where the wiper plug, the expandable plug, and the trigger device are mechanically coupled together, where the mechanical trigger is disposed between and maintains a separated position of the first housing part and the second housing part relative to each other when the trigger device is in a default trigger device position, where the mechanical trigger is configured to break when the trigger device converts to an actuated state, where the first housing part and the second housing part, when the trigger device is in the actuated state, are configured to move to a collapsed position relative to each other to operate the expandable plug from a default expandable plug position to an expanded position.
