Oklahoma Patent of the Month – May 2025
In a breakthrough for hydraulic fracturing, Momentum AI LLC has secured U.S. Patent No. 12292539, titled ‘Spectral analysis and machine learning for determining cluster efficiency during fracking operations’. The new system combines acoustic sensing with machine learning to deliver real-time insights into fracture behavior and performance.
Real-Time Monitoring Through Sound
The technology captures acoustic signals during fracking and converts them into electrical data. By analyzing the timing and amplitude of these signals, the system can detect when and where fractures form in the well. This helps operators quickly assess which clusters are performing as expected.
Machine Learning Drives Smarter Fracking
What makes this system stand out is its integration of machine learning. It compares real-time acoustic data against known patterns from previous operations. This allows for dynamic classification of fracture events, helping teams adapt operations immediately for better results.
Boosting Efficiency and Reducing Waste
By improving accuracy in cluster detection and response time, the invention enhances both productivity and safety. Operators can optimize fluid use, reduce downtime, and make informed decisions in the field. This innovation supports more sustainable and efficient hydraulic fracturing practices.
