  • Patent number: 11555943
    Abstract: A method for training a predictive reservoir simulation in which high-confidence reservoir sample data is used to identify misallocated historical production data used in the simulation. A neural network algorithm is trained with high-confidence reservoir historical production data. High-confidence reservoir sample data is obtained by at least one sensor at a reservoir location over a time interval, after which the reservoir historical production data is parametrically varied over the time interval to determine a time-indexed discrepancy between the reservoir historical production data and the high-confidence reservoir sample data over the time interval. The time-indexed discrepancy and a defined threshold discrepancy are then used as inputs to a machine learning process to further train the neural network algorithm to identify reservoir historical production data whose discrepancy exceeds the threshold discrepancy and thereby constitutes misallocated historical production data.

  • Patent number: 11519560
    Abstract: An improved mechanism for evaluation of degradation criticality is described. Corresponding apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer readable media are provided. The evaluation of corrosion criticality is utilized to estimate a failure pressure of a pipeline that is subject to structural degradation (e.g., metal loss corrosion). The evaluation, in some embodiments, is utilized with a specific tool configured for controlling or otherwise regulate pipeline operations responsive to the estimated failure pressure. The evaluation is a specific technical process whereby multiple failure paths through anomalies (structural defects arising from degradation features) are utilized in concert to determine an estimated failure pressure. The failure pressure, in some embodiments, is used to control actuation of one or more valve regulator features or to guide excavation.
