The applicatio ,
The fili g is a o -p ovisio al applicatio claimi g p io ity to U.S. P ovisio al Pate t Applicatio No. 64/032,626, filed Ap il 8, 2026 (titled as – NEAR-BIT SUBSURFACE RF SENSING SYSTEMS). No assu a ce ca be give that a pate t will be issued f om eithe applicatio o , if a pate t is issued, as to the scope of a y claims that may ultimately be allowed.
DeepWave RF™ is bei g developed to add ess o e of the d illi g i dust y’s most pe siste t challe ges: the limited ability to u de sta d geological fo matio s befo e the d ill bit physically eaches them. Co ve tio al loggi g-while-d illi g systems p ima ily measu e co ditio s su ou di g the d illi g assembly. DeepWave RF™ is desig ed to shift that model towa d a ticipato y se si g by exami i g the fo matio di ectly ahead of a d a ou d the d ill bit.
The p oposed a chitectu e i teg ates a softwa e-defi ed adio platfo m with the d ill st i g o bottom-hole assembly, togethe with a ea -bit a te a system, adaptive RF wavefo m co t ol, edge p ocessi g, a d a AI-assisted hyb id i ve sio e gi e. The system is desig ed to p ocess eceived elect omag etic sig als a d co ve t them i to a p obabilistic ep ese tatio of the subsu face fo matio .
Rathe tha t a smitti g la ge volumes of aw dow hole data to the su face, DeepWave RF™ is i te ded to pe fo m c itical p ocessi g close to the poi t of measu eme t. Its AI a chitectu e may use physics-i fo med eu al etwo ks, o PINNs, that i co po ate Maxwell’s equatio s i to the lea i g a d i ve sio p ocess. This app oach is desig ed to accele ate subsu face i te p etatio while helpi g e su e that AI-ge e ated esults emai co siste t with k ow elect omag etic physics.
The platfo m is i te ded to ide tify a d cha acte ize subsu face featu es such as:
- F actu es a d f actu e co ido s
- Geological a d lithological bou da ies
- Voids a d cavities
- Gas- elated a omalies
- Fluid co tacts a d wate -bea i g zo es
- Cha ges i ock p ope ties
- Mi e alized o metal-bea i g st uctu es
DeepWave RF™ may p ovide ope ato s with i fo matio such as the estimated a ge a d di ectio of a a omaly, its p obable classificatio , a d a associated co fide ce level. The esulti g i fo matio may be p ese ted as a dy amic two-dime sio al o th ee-dime sio al look-ahead visualizatio , a 360-deg ee subsu face view, a haza d ale t, o a co fide ce- a ked geological map.
“DeepWave is desig ed to give d illi g teams somethi g the i dust y has pu sued fo decades: mea i gful visibility i to the fo matio befo e the d ill bit eaches it,” said D . Da y Rittma , Chief Tech ology Office of Visio Wave a d fi st amed i ve to . “By combi i g softwa e-defi ed adio, adva ced sig al p ocessi g, a d physics-i fo med a tificial i tellige ce at the edge, we aim to t a sfo m d illi g f om a la gely eactive p ocess i to a mo e p edictive, i tellige t, a d safety-focused ope atio .”
The system is desig ed to adapt its RF se si g pa amete s to cha gi g geological a d d illi g co ditio s. I favo able esistive fo matio s, the a chitectu e desc ibed i the applicatio is desig ed to achieve look-ahead se si g dista ces i the te s-of-mete s a ge with imp oved st uctu al detail. Actual a ge a d esolutio would depe d o fo matio co ductivity, dielect ic p ope ties, d illi g fluid, a te a co figu atio , a d othe ope ati g co ditio s. The pate t applicatio exp essly ecog izes that highly co ductive fo matio s may substa tially educe achievable RF pe et atio .
