  • Publication number: 20160034139
    Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and computer-readable media for organizing options in an interface. The method includes receiving data representing a type of domain object, and predicting one or more generic predicted events based at least in part on the type of domain object. The one or more generic predicted events are predicted using a generic predictor. The method also includes receiving data representing an actual next event, and updating the generic predictor based on the actual next event.

  • Publication number: 20140310634
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product implement a graphical user interface that includes a production display and a properties display corresponding to an oil and gas production system. The production display includes a simulated model corresponding to the oil and gas production system, and the properties display includes fluid properties corresponding to the oil and gas production system. User input may be received and the graphical user interface dynamically updates the production display or properties display based thereon, such that the fluid properties of the oil and gas production system may be dynamically modeled with the graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20140310633
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product utilize clustering to represent co-located physical components in a production network in a GIS map user interface. A cluster object may be used to represent multiple co-located physical components, and the cluster object may be selectively expanded in place to display a logical view of the multiple co-located physical components in which at least a portion of the equipment objects representing the co-located physical components are offset from one another and interconnected to represent the physical interconnections between the co-located physical components, thereby facilitating selection, visualization and manipulation of the equipment objects representing the co-located physical components.

  • Publication number: 20140303950
    Abstract: A method can include receiving a model of a network of a production system that includes information that specifies branches and pieces of equipment; processing, optionally in parallel, at least a portion of the information for at least a portion of the model of the network; and, based at least in part on the processing, assigning a flow direction to each of the branches in the at least a portion of the model of the network. Various other technologies, techniques, etc., are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140303949
    Abstract: A method can include, via an interface of a computing system, receiving information representing a change to a network model of a production system; via the computing system, simulating at least a portion of the production system based at least in part on a portion of the information and at least a portion of the network model to generate simulation results; and, via the interface, transmitting at least a portion of the simulation results. Various other technologies, techniques, etc., are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140303951
    Abstract: A method can include rendering terrain and equipment locations to a display; assigning one or more domain constraints; analyzing an objective function associated with the terrain and the equipment locations subject to at least one of the one or more domain constraints; and rendering information to the display based at least in part on the analyzing. Various other technologies, techniques, etc., are also disclosed.
