  • Virtual sensing for adjoint based incorporation of supplementary data sources
    Patent number: 11105957
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for integrating plural modalities of information to obtain values for a specified attribute of a given system. In one embodiment, the method comprises acquiring data of a first modality, conveying a first source of data of a first type of the system; configuring simulator with settings of physical sensors; acquiring data of a second modality from the system, conveying a second source of data of a second type of the system. The method further comprises converting the data of the second modality to data of the first type, while configuring a virtual set of sensors to enable acquisition of the converted data of the second modality; and configuring adjoints equipped simulator with settings of the virtual sensors, to mimic collection of data of the first type, while configured to measure data of second type.

  • Induced control excitation for enhanced reservoir flow characterization
    Patent number: 10233727
    Abstract: A system, method and a computer program product may be provided for characterizing natural resource subsurface attributes and compositions. The system prescribes alterations of one or more controls of a natural resource. The system applies the altered controls to the natural resource wells. The system collects measurement data of the natural resource wells that responds to the applied altered controls. The system determines, based on the collected measurement data, the natural resource subsurface attributes and compositions that pertain to the natural resource.
