Title: Improved method and system for text based searching
Inventor: DAVID LEVETT
IPC: G06F16/33
Filed: 2019-02-08
Abstract: A method and system for text-based searching are provided. The method includes obtaining a user input and searching a word model to produce a list of candidate words related to the user input; the user then selecting one or more of the candidate words to form a set, translating the set of words into a mathematical representation; searching a document database for one or more documents having a word or group of words having individual mathematical representation corresponding to members of the set of mathematical representations and then retrieving from the document database, a portion of one or more documents containing the word or group of words that correspond to members of the set of mathematical representations. The method searches the database according to a semantic concept such that the user who performs the method is informed with semantically similar results. The set of mathematical representations may be a set of vectors in a natural language processing vector model. Forming the word set may involve calculating weights for each candidate word as a measure of semantic similarity between them and the input.

Title: Volume, size, and shape analysis of downhole particles
Inventor: MATHEW DENNIS ROWE
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 2019-02-04
Abstract: An imaging device (124), laser(s) (190, 192), lag calculation, and/or volume calculations are used to determine cuttings volume per unit depth. A projected or theoretical volume can be calculated based on parameters of the borehole being drilled. At the surface of the borehole, cuttings can be captured in a shaker screen (108). The volume of the cuttings can then be directly measured on the shaker screen. Deviations from a projected volume can be logged and notifications can be communicated on and/or offsite of the borehole. Additionally, size and shape of cuttings can be logged. Deviations from projected size and shape can also be logged. Various hydrocarbon recover}' operations can be altered based on results of the cuttings analysis and other indicators of improper hole cleaning. For instance, the drilling can be stopped, or a direction of the borehole can be altered.
