ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,688,690, issued on July 21, was assigned to Landmark Graphics Corp. (Houston).

"Diffusion modeling based subsurface formation evaluation" was invented by Fan Jiang (Houston) and Konstantin Osypov (Houston).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Some implementations include a method for controlling a computer to geologically characterize a space relative to a borehole. The method may include configuring a diffusion process applied to information and data about samples of reservoir parameters. The method also may include determining, via the diffusion process, a probability distribution of the reservoir parameters in the space relative to the boreh...
