  • Publication number: 20240248235
    Abstract: A method includes training a proxy model to predict output from a reservoir model of a subterranean volume, receiving data representing an oilfield operation performed at least partially in the subterranean volume, predicting one or more performance indicators for the oilfield operation using the proxy model, and updating the reservoir model based at least in part on the one or more performance indicators predicted in the proxy model.

  • Patent number: 7774184
    Abstract: Computer-based method and system are disclosed for conduction a brownfield assessment. The system/method involves a workflow manager that standardizes the tasks needed to be performed during the brownfield assessment and streamlines the completion of these tasks. The workflow manager incorporates expert knowledge and best practices identified over time for previous brownfield assessments. The expert knowledge and best practices are then applied automatically through operation of the workflow manager. Such an arrangement can result in significantly reduced completion time as well as more consistent deliverables from engineer to engineer and project to project.
