  • Patent number: 11650349
    Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium can be used for generating dynamic reservoir descriptions using geostatistics in a geological model. Data processing techniques can be used by a computing system to automate processes for generating, and updating (e.g., in real-time), subsurface reservoir models. An integrated methodology and hardware systems are described for determining properties of a reservoir in a subterranean region using a geological model based on seismic data and transient pressure data. The methodology and automated approaches employ technologies relating to machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to process seismic data and information relating to seismic facies.

  • Patent number: 11493654
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for generating a high-resolution advanced three-dimensional (3D) transient model that models multiple wells by integrating pressure transient data into a static geological model. A crude 3D model is generated from a full-field geological model that models production for multiple wells in an area. A functional 3D model is generated from the crude 3D model. An intermediate 3D model is generated by calibrating the functional 3D model with single-well data. An advanced 3D transient model is generated by calibrating multi-well data in the functional 3D model.
