    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that facilitate use of a distributed vibration sensing system for collecting data in a well application to provide improved collection of strain related data, such as for a seismic survey. The techniques facilitate selection of a variable optimal gauge length that optimally preserves the signal bandwidth and temporal resolution of the sensing system and that can be tuned using the actual apparent velocity and maximum recoverable frequency of the monitored parameters. Techniques for real-time processing of DVS data using a preliminary variable optimal gauge length are disclosed, as well as techniques for re-processing the DVS data at a later time using an updated variable optimal gauge length that is derived from the preliminary processing of the DVS data.

    Abstract: Seismic data processing using one or more non-linear stacking enabling detection of weak signals relative to noise levels. The non-linear stacking includes a double phase, a double phase-weighted, a real phasor, a squared real phasor, a phase and an N-th root stack. Microseismic signals as recorded by one or more seismic detectors and transformed by transforming the signal to enhance detection of arrivals. The transforms enable the generation of an image, or map, representative of the likelihood that there was a source of seismic energy occurring at a given point in time at a particular point in space, which may be used, for example, in monitoring operations such as hydraulic fracturing, fluid production, water flooding, steam flooding, gas flooding, and formation compaction.

    Abstract: A method to design well trajectories includes determining dogleg severity as a function of inclination, and a corresponding rate of penetration performance of the tool by a hybrid model including physical modelling and machine learning correction. The method includes solving for optimal steering parameters to predict a dogleg severity as close as possible to a desired dogleg severity at a given inclination of the trajectory, which is repeated for dogleg severity and inclination combinations of interest. The rate of penetration for feasible points is also determined and a rate of penetration (or time-to-target) map can be produced. Potential trajectories are then evaluated relative to the map to estimate drilling time-to-target, and an optimal trajectory can be selected that has a lowest time-to-target while also being feasible for the tool and optionally avoiding risks or downhole obstacles.

    Abstract: Utilizing the phase component of a moment tensor for a seismic data signal, isolated from the amplitude component, by automatically detecting polarity changes that occur over a focal mechanism of the seismic event, and correcting for such polarity reversals. Transforming seismic (including microseismic) signals as recorded by one or more seismic detectors to enhance detection of arrivals. The transforms enable the generation of an image, or map, representative of the likelihood that there was a source of seismic energy occurring at a given point in time at a particular point in time.
