Abstract: The proposed method is an improved method of flooding weak reservoirs and avoiding premature breakthrough of the displacing fluid used in the flooding operation by first modeling the performance of the reservoir under a rage of flooding pressures in a couple geomechanic and multiphase flow model. Ideal pressures are thus selected from use in a flooding operation, thus avoiding rock failure and fluid breakthrough.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to managing a set of spatial zones associated with an architectural layout. A first spatial zone of the set of spatial zones is detected. The first spatial zone has a first spatial zone size value. By comparing the first spatial zone size value with a threshold spatial zone size value, it is determined to convert the first spatial zone. Based on proximity, a group of conversion candidates is identified from the set of spatial zones. Based on the first spatial zone and the group of conversion candidates, a second spatial zone is determined using an architectural criterion. Using the second spatial zone, a design-model of the architectural layout is established.

Abstract: An experiment manager is discussed for the design and execution of numerical experiments in composite simulation models, such as those created using the Smarter Planet Platform for Analysis Simulation of Health (Splash). The experiment manager independently elicits experiment-related information from each contributor of a component model, and uses this information to subsequently assist the creator of a composite model in selecting experimental factors, creating experimental designs based on these factors, and executing the experiments. This functionality permits cross-disciplinary modeling, simulation, sensitivity analysis and optimization in the setting of complex systems.

Abstract: Data from crosswell seismic surveys is processed to provide crosswell time-lapse data to map fluid changes in a reservoir where time-lapse or 4D seismic data is unavailable or unreliable, such as in onshore reservoirs. The resultant processing results provide quantitative information for history matching purposes using a probabilistic approach to take in account uncertainties in the geological model and reduce uncertainties in reservoir production forecasts.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for calibrating a model of a complex flow system. In an embodiment, a comparison is made between the output from the model and a set of observed values for each of a plurality of nodes in the complex flow system. An adjoint sensitivity is computed for each of the nodes based on the comparison. These computed adjoint sensitivities are used to adjust a set of coefficients of the models. This calibration process can be performed multiple times, periodically and/or continuously to maximize the accuracy of the model.

Abstract: A system, method and media are shown for emulating potentially malicious code involving emulating a first ring of an operating system, emulating a second ring of the operating system, where the second ring has greater access to system resources than the first ring and where the first and second rings are separately emulated, executing a code payload in the emulated first ring, checking the behavior of the executing code payload for suspect behavior, and identifying the code payload as malicious code if suspect behavior is detected. Some examples emulate the second ring by operating system or microarchitecture functionality such that the second ring emulation returns results to the executing code payload, but does not actually perform the functionality in a host platform. Some examples execute the code payload in the emulated first shell at one or more offsets.
