  • Determining well parameters for optimization of well performance
    Patent number: 10963815
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include training a well performance predictor based on field data corresponding to a hydrocarbon field in which a well is to be drilled; generating a number of candidate well parameter combinations for the well and predicting a performance of the well for each candidate well parameter combination using the trained well performance predictor; and determining an optimized well parameter combination for the well such that the predicted performance of the well is maximized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 30, 2021
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company
    Inventors: Damian N. Burch, Antonio R. C. Paiva, Rainer van den Bosch
  • Determining Well Parameters for Optimization of Well Performance
    Publication number: 20180204139
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining well parameters for optimization of well performance. The method includes training, via a computing system, a well performance predictor based on field data corresponding to a hydrocarbon field in which a well is to be drilled. The method also includes generating, via the computing system, a number of candidate well parameter combinations for the well and predicting, via the computing system, a performance of the well for each candidate well parameter combination using the trained well performance predictor. The method further includes determining, via the computing system, an optimized well parameter combination for the well such that the predicted performance of the well is maximized.
