  • Patent number: 12112010
    Abstract: A device that includes an extended reality application is employed by a user to access an extended reality environment. A selection of a first subset of dashboard panels included in a plurality of dashboard panels is received via an input device associated with the extended reality environment. Each dashboard panel included in the plurality of dashboard panels includes a visual representation of data. The first subset of dashboard panels is displayed in a foreground area of a workspace of the XR environment. A second subset of dashboard panels included in the plurality of dashboard panels is displayed in a background area of the workspace of the XR environment.

  • Patent number: 11853533
    Abstract: A device that includes an extended reality application is employed by a user to access an extended reality environment. A selection of a first user interface object included in a plurality of user interface objects displayed in the extended reality environment is received via an input device associated with the extended reality environment. Each user interface object included in the plurality of user interface objects is associated with a different set of dashboard panels. At least a first portion of a first set of dashboard panels associated with the first user interface object is displayed in a foreground area of a workspace of the XR environment. The foreground area has a first depth relative to a user viewpoint within the XR environment. The workspace further comprises a background area having a second depth relative to the user viewpoint within the XR environment.

  • Publication number: 20230358917
    Abstract: Method and systems are provided that create one or more models of a subsurface geological formation (such as a reservoir characterization model of a hydrocarbon reservoir or a model of some other subsurface geological formation). The method and systems are configured to extend a machine learning ensemble (such as an ensemble tree-based machine learning model such as a random forest learning model) to use or embed data derived from one or more secondary models as part of the training operations of the machine learning ensemble and online use of the trained machine learning ensemble. Such data can provide information that supplements the information contained in the training data/input data.

  • Patent number: 11544282
    Abstract: An extended reality (XR) software application program executing on a processor within an XR system generates drill-down data visualizations in an XR environment. Via the XR software application program, various techniques are performed for displaying panels that include visualizations of data. In a first technique, the XR software application program generates, in response to detecting a user interaction with a portion of a first panel, a drill-down panel that includes additional visualization(s) of data associated with the portion of the first panel and is displayed in front of the first panel within the XR environment. In a second technique, the XR software application program generates and displays multiple drill-down panels that include visualization(s) of the selected data and are displayed in a tree structure within the XR environment.

  • Patent number: 11280922
    Abstract: A method for performing a field operation of a field. The method includes identifying, inside a volume of interest representing a portion of the field, that a first surface segment is truncated by a second surface segment, where each of the first surface segment and the second surface segment corresponds to a geological feature in the field, generating, based at least on a first implicit function, an extended first surface segment that includes the first surface segment and a first extension of the first surface segment, generating a number of compartments by dividing the volume of interest using at least the extended first surface segment and the second surface segment, merging, based on a common boundary of at least two of the compartments being within an invalid portion of the extended first surface segment, the at least two compartments into a single merged compartment, and performing, based at least on the single merged compartment, modeling of the field to generate a modeling result.

  • Patent number: 10387583
    Abstract: A method can include defining a two dimensional grid of cells for a region associated with a geologic environment, assigning directions to at least some of the cells, tracing a first set of trajectories with respect to the grid based on the directions, determining a first set of scalar field values based on the first set of trajectories, rotating the directions, tracing a second set of trajectories with respect to the grid based on the rotated directions, determining a second set of scalar field values based on the second set of trajectories, outputting a map based on the first set of scalar field values and the second set of scalar field values and applying the map to map a spatially distributed variable in the region associated with the geologic environment. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9140821
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product improve the computational efficiency of a multipoint geostatistics method by employing an ordered path through unassigned cells in combination with a non-symmetric search mask that excludes one or more not-yet-simulated cells from the search mask during simulation.
