Abstract: Techniques for determining one or more hydrocarbon sweet spots include generating a three-dimensional (3D) simulation model of a hydrocarbon reservoir in a subterranean formation; executing a gas winnowing process to the 3D simulation model; applying one or more geomechanical restraints to the 3D simulation model; activating one or more energy simulation parameters with the 3D simulation model; applying a total dynamic productivity index (TDPI) process to the 3D simulation model to generate at least one 3D index that includes one or more hydrocarbon sweet spots; and generating a graphical representation of the generated 3D index for presentation on a graphical user interface (GUI) to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for performing an advanced control policy for a group of wells. Choke settings are applied to one or more control elements of each well in a group of wells. Rig control settings are applied to the group of wells. The rig control settings define, for each rule in a set of rules: a rule count limiting a number of times a rule is to be executed in a simulation run and a rule frequency identifying a time frequency by which the rule is to be executed during the simulation run. Settings are received for targets and constraints for the group of wells. The simulation run is executed for the group of wells using the choking settings, the rig control settings, and the settings for of the targets and constraints for the group of wells.

Abstract: Simulation model cells of a reservoir having gas condensate production from layers of a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir are determined by the Total Dynamic Productivity Index (TDPI) method. The determinations are based on rock and fluid physics, including non-Darcy flow and pseudo-pressure integral, which are responsible for pressure drop near wellbores in the gas condensate wells. A three-dimensional (3D) grid matrix is linked with a well placement optimization algorithm to target high gas energy spots and increase productivity, efficiency and recovery from the gas condensate wells.

Abstract: System and method of developing a hydrocarbon reservoir that includes the following: determining, for each of the layers, a reservoir model defining layers representing a portion of a hydrocarbon reservoir; determining points of intersection; generating, for each of the layers, a two-dimensional (2D) unstructured mesh layer including a triangulated mesh; generating, for each pair of adjacent 2D unstructured mesh layers of the reservoir model, a three-dimensional (3D) tetrahedral mesh; generating, for the 3D tetrahedral mesh, a 3D triangulated tetrahedral mesh; generating, for the 3D triangulated tetrahedral mesh, a 3D vertically-refined triangulated tetrahedral mesh; generating, for the 3D vertically-refined triangulated tetrahedral mesh, a 3D dual mesh; and generating, using the 3D dual mesh, a simulation of the hydrocarbon reservoir represented by the layers.

Abstract: Management of information is facilitated by unambiguously tracking portions of reality over time. To track the portions of reality, a referent tracking system is used. The referent tracking system is able to communicate with other tracking systems and/or tradition information systems. Errors in the referent tracking system are detected and corrected to maintain actual representations of the portions of reality.
