  • Patent number: 11988799
    Abstract: A method and computing system is disclosed herein. The computing system receives, from a remote computing device, a set of production information for a plurality of plays from a region. The set of production information is directed to past production of the well. The computing system generates an input data set based on the set of production information. The input data set is generated by imputing missing production data to the production information and collapsing the data set into calendar days. The computing system fits one or more decline curves to the input data set. The computing system consolidates the one or more curves into a new data set. The computing system classifies the one or more curves by identifying a subset of wells in the new data set. The subset of wells includes a threshold amount of production information. The computing system delivers the classified results to the remote computing device.

  • Patent number: 11579334
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting a landing zone of a wellbore include identifying a first subsurface geological model of a first subterranean layer located under a terranean surface that includes an upper boundary depth of the first subterranean layer and a lower boundary depth of the first subterranean layer; identifying a second subsurface geological model of a second subterranean layer deeper than the first subterranean layer that is independent of the first subsurface geological model and includes an upper boundary depth of the second subterranean layer; correlating a predicted landing zone for a plurality of wellbores using the first and second subsurface geological models that is based on a location of a horizontal portion of each wellbore; and generating data that comprises a representation of the correlated plurality of wellbores for presentation on a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Publication number: 20220236547
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for identifying and correcting optical aberrations within a sample under optical microscopy. The method includes providing a plurality of optical beams including at least a first optical beam and a second optical beam; modulating at least one of the optical beams at one or more frequencies; providing a combined optical beam at least partially superimposed in time by the first optical beam and the second optical beam; focusing the combined optical beam into the sample; detecting a first signal excited by the combined optical beam in the sample; demodulating the first signal by at least one lock-in amplifier to obtain a second signal including performing a plurality of measurements of spatial positions of the first optical beam with respect to the second optical beam; identifying and correcting the optical aberrations by the second signal through obtaining the electric-field point spread function of the optical beams.
