Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method is provided for determining petrophysical properties associated with various lateral locations of a subterranean layer. The method employs velocity and density log data corresponding to a, preselected reference lateral location in combination with seismic data, to determine a range of values of at least one petrophysical property associated with a desired lateral location ("nonreference") offset from the reference lateral location.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 11, 1994 and granted December 22, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 11, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 11, 2016.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
