Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for intelligent, real-time monitoring and managing of changes in oilfield equilibrium to optimize production of desired hydrocarbons and economic viability of the field. In some examples, a method can involve generating, based on a topology of a field of wells, a respective graph for the wells, each respective graph including computing devices coupled with one or more sensors and/or actuators. The method can involve collecting, via the computing devices, respective parameters associated with one or more computing devices, sensors, actuators, and/or models, and identifying a measured state associated with the computing devices, sensors, actuators, and/or models.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for the mutual improvement of physics-based and data-driven models related to an oilfield. These may involve generating, via a processor, with an oilfield related condition as a first input, a first output based on one of a physics-based model or a data-based model; generating, using the first input or a second input, a second output based on the other of the physics-based model or the data-based model not used to generate the first output; and modifying, automatically, at least one of the physics-based model, data-driven model, the first input or the second input, based on the first output or second output.

Abstract: A system including a work environment having a topology comprising a plurality of computing devices coupled with at least one of one or more sensors, one or more actuators, and one or more models. One or more processors communicatively coupled with the computing devices and having a memory having stored therein instructions which, when executed, cause the processors to generate, based on the topology, a graph for the work environment; collect respective parameters associated with the computing devices, sensors, actuators, and models; identify an environmental anomaly associated with at least one of the sensors; and generate a decision tree to determine a cause of the environmental anomaly.
