  • Patent number: 11487915
    Abstract: A method of integrated modeling using multiple subsurface models includes receiving multiple sets of input values associated with a hydrocarbon formation of the Earth. The method also includes receiving a network model that includes one or more assets configured to distribute a flow of hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon formation to a processing facility. The method further includes generating the multiple subsurface models based on the multiple sets of input values, wherein each subsurface model comprises a set of input values of the multiple sets of input values, and wherein each subsurface model represents a production of the flow of hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon formation. The method also includes applying the multiple subsurface models to the network model to generate an integrated model comprising multiple production rates of hydrocarbons via the one or more assets over time. The method further includes identifying at least one asset to adjust based on the integrated model.

  • Publication number: 20130231901
    Abstract: A method can include assigning one or more constraints to an upper surface, assigning one or more constraints to a lower surface, defining a pad configuration, generating pad locations locatable on the upper surface that conform to the defined pad configuration and the assigned constraints for the upper surface and the lower surface, and outputting specifications at least one of the generated pad locations. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
