20120096234 | INFORMATION REPRESENTATION AND CODING FOR NONVOLATILE MEMORIES - A memory device having a plurality of cells, each of which stores a value, where the values of the cells are mapped to discrete levels and the discrete levels represent data, is programmed by determining a maximum number of cell levels in the memory device, and determining the set of values that are associated with each of the cell levels. The maximum number of cell levels for the memory device is determined by an adaptive programming system connected to the memory device, based on a plurality of cell values attained by at least one cell of the memory device, in response to voltage applied by the adaptive programming system to the cells of the memory device. The adaptive programming system associates, for each of the cell levels, a different set of cell values of the plurality of cell values attained by the cells to which voltage is applied. This technique increases the number of cell levels that can be configured in a memory device as compared with conventional techniques, and increases the number of data values that can be programmed into the cells of a memory device. | 04-19-2012 |

20120158310 | METHOD OF DETERMINING RESERVOIR PRESSURE - A new approach is disclosed for measuring the pressure of tight gas reservoirs, using information obtain from continuous injection prior to hydraulic fracture stimulation. The technique can be obtained utilizing either bottom-hole or surface pressure gauges and properly instrumented surface injection pumps. The analysis is completed by plotting injection and rate data in a specialized form from terms arranged in Darcy's radial flow equation to obtain a curve or trend. The key component to proper application of this technique is to obtain both baseline and one or more calibration data sets. These calibration data sets are obtained by either increasing or decreasing the injection pressure and/or rate from the baseline data. Initial reservoir pressure is assumed, but the calibration data indicates if the guess was too high or low. Accurate estimates of reservoir pressure may be obtained in a few iterations. | 06-21-2012 |
20160003026 | METHOD OF DETERMINING RESERVOIR PRESSURE - A well test method for use in tight gas reservoirs prior to hydraulic fracture stimulation. The method can use injection of water using low-rate surface pumps into the reservoir below parting pressure. The measured rates and pressures are converted to sandface rate and pressure datasets for each stage. The technique can utilize either surface or bottom-hole pressure sensors. The resulting sandface datasets are analyzed using the baseline/calibration method or other analysis appropriate to stage data to determine reservoir flow properties. The small-volume, staged well test enables estimation of the flow properties of reservoir, including pressure and permeability, in hours rather than days. | 01-07-2016 |
