  • Patent number: 11852778
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, observed data points in a volume along a well trajectory and well logs corresponding to observed data points are received at a neural network. Feature vectors are generated using the neural network. The feature vectors are defined based on a distance between each of the observed data points and randomly generated points in the volume. A 3D populated log is generated by propagating well log values of the feature vectors across the volume. Uncertainty is quantified by generating a plurality of realizations including the 3D populated log. Each of the realizations is different and equally probable. core values are generated from the realizations, and a static model of the reservoir is generated by clustering the volume into one or more clusters of rock types based on the core values.

  • Patent number: 11579332
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, a static model of the reservoir is received. The static model has one or more clusters of rock types. A reservoir graph is generated from the static model. The reservoir graph represents each of the one or more clusters as a vertex. A graph connectivity of the reservoir graph is defined through a nodal connectivity of neighboring vertices. Pressure values are propagated across three-dimensional space of the reservoir graph using the connectivity. A dynamic model of the reservoir is generated using the pressure values and fluid saturation values.

  • Patent number: 11454738
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, a reservoir model is received. The reservoir model includes a static model and a dynamic model. The static model includes one or more clusters of a three-dimensional volume of the reservoir and an uncertainty quantification generated using a neural network. The dynamic model includes pressure values and fluid saturation values propagated across the three-dimensional volume through a nodal connectivity of neighboring clusters. A set of input features is generated from the static model and the dynamic model. The set of input features is related to a drilling attractiveness of a target region of the reservoir using a set of rules executed by a fuzzy inference engine. A quantification of the drilling attractiveness is generated. A recommendation for drilling in the reservoir is output based on the quantification of the drilling attractiveness.

  • Patent number: 11422284
    Abstract: An architecture for predicting and modeling geological characteristics of a reservoir includes one or more neural networks, a static modeling module, a dynamic modeling module, and a fuzzy inference engine to provide recommendations for drilling a wellbore. The neural networks receive log data for coordinates along a well trajectory, and determine a geophysical relationship for a property of a subterranean formation as a function of distance vectors between the coordinates along the well trajectory and one or more sets of randomly generated coordinates. The static modeling module generates three-dimensional static models of a volume of interest based on predicted properties of formations residing therein from the neural networks.
