Abstract: Traditional systems and methods have implemented hand-crafted feature extraction from varying length time series that results in complexity and requires domain knowledge. Building classification models requires large labeled data and is computationally expensive. Embodiments of the present disclosure implement learning models for classification tasks in multi-dimensional time series by performing feature extraction from entity's parameters via unsupervised encoder and build a non-temporal linear classifier model. A fixed-dimensional feature vector is outputted using a pre-trained unsupervised encoder, which acts as off-the shelf feature extractor. Extracted features are concatenated to learn a non-temporal linear classification model and weight is assigned to each extracted feature during learning which helps to determine relevant parameters for each class. Mapping from parameters to target class is considered while constraining the linear model to use only subset of large number of features.

The isolation device can be used for zonal isolation to treat a zone of interest within a subterranean formation. The treatment can be a fracturing operation.

Abstract: This disclosure presents a dimensionless relationship between a fluid flow rate, a viscosity, and a brake horsepower (BHP) in a pump operation and a method that uses the dimensionless relationship to predict a BHP for viscous performance of a pump from water performance specifications. Using the dimensionless relationship, i.e., K-R number, the methods determine a BHP correlation that allows the prediction of the BHP specification to satisfy a pump performance metric at any given speed, flow rate, and viscosity. This prediction can be calculated from water performance specifications without physically testing the pump in the viscous implementation environment.
