  • Patent number: 11428078
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for obtaining an input sequence of input data features associated with a well for at least one time stamp during a period of time including well production rates for the well and well operation constraints for the well, dividing the input data features into a training data subset, a validation data subset, and a test data subset, building a well production model for the well using machine learning based on the training data subset, the validation data subset, and the test data subset, and generating a forecast for the well for a future period of time using the well production model, the forecast comprising a future well production rate for the well including at least one of an oil rate, a gas rate, and a water rate.

  • Patent number: 9926483
    Abstract: Degradable balls for downhole use may include an incompliant degradable polymer and a compliant filler material, the incompliant degradable polymer having an elastic modulus of about 2 GPa or greater, and the compliant filler material having an elastic modulus of less than about 2 GPa. Such degradable balls may be useful in sealing segments of a wellbore and actuating wellbore tools.

  • Publication number: 20180052903
    Abstract: System and methods for transforming well production data for predictive modeling are provided. Aggregated production data for one or more wells in a hydrocarbon producing field is pre-processed in order to generate clusters of the production data, based on a set of uncontrollable production variables identified for the wells. The pre-processed production data within each of the clusters is standardized based on clustering parameters calculated for each cluster. The standardized production data within each of the clusters is then used to generate transactional data for use in a predictive model for estimating future production from the one or more wells.

  • Publication number: 20140262231
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates the methods of treating a subterranean formation. In various embodiments, an acidic treatment fluid can be injected through tubing while a non-acidic fluid is pumped through an annulus. In various embodiments, acidic treatment fluid can be pumped through coiled tubing while at least one of acidic treatment fluid and non-acidic fluid are pumped through a second tube surrounding the coiled tubing and an annulus disposed the second tube and a borehole. Various embodiments also include methods for stimulating a well and acidization of the subterranean formation.
