Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid AD-DCMD desalination system, where two subsystems, such as AD and DCMD, are integrated synergistically to maximize freshwater production. The waste heat released from an AD condenser is used to drive the DCMD subsystem in a first configuration of the hybrid AD-DCMD system, while another configuration relies on the heat released due to an exothermic adsorption process in an adsorption bed. The DCMD subsystem is included to exploit the waste heat of the AD subsystem to enhance performance. In both these configurations, seawater is used to release the heat from the AD subsystem, which is then fed into the DCMD subsystem. The hybrid AD-DCMD system configurations demonstrate improved performance in terms of GOR, specific daily water production (SDWP), and freshwater cost reduction.

Abstract: System and method configured for real-time, direct, all-optical methodology of measurement of a temporal profile of optical field. In one case, such measurement is carried out by recording electronic delay response of a target material system triggered by a strong driving optical field (in particular—by pulsed light with sub-femtosecond pulses containing a few cycles of optical field each). A corresponding all-optical metrological tool configured to operate with (sub-)femtosecond resolution. Demonstration of the on-demand sub-femtosecond electron motion control in solid-state with the use of synthesized waveforms of optical field.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for generating and modeling oil viscosity profiles. An Equation-of-State (EOS) and a field pressure-volumetemperature (PVT) model are generated by reconciling historical well data received for multiple wells in a field of interest. Oil properties trends for checking logical tendencies for in-situ oil composition for local data and at initial conditions are generated using the EOS and the field PVT model, calibrated using measured lab-available oil density, and used to generate an in-situ oil composition for local data and conditions. An oil viscosity profile, generated in the field PVT model based on the oil properties trends, is calibrated and modeled in a two-dimensional PVT model using lab oil viscosity. The two-dimensional PVT model is tested using static and dynamic simulation models in terms of the EOS, compositions, composition gradient, and oil properties, including viscosity.

Abstract: The systems and method described in this specification relate to a method for determining a residual oil saturation of a reservoir. The method includes obtaining a plurality of rock samples from the reservoir; determining a permeability of each of the rock samples; measuring a fluid viscosity of oil in the reservoir; estimating a location-specific permeability of the reservoir across the reservoir based on the permeability of each of the rock samples; determining a location-specific displacing velocity of the reservoir based on a function of the location-specific permeability and the fluid viscosity of the oil; determining the residual oil saturation of the reservoir based on the location-specific displacing velocity using Franklin's equation; and predicting a recovery of the oil from the reservoir using the residual oil saturation in a computational model of the reservoir.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including generating a material balance plot for a plurality of wells in a gas reservoir. The material balance plot includes, for each of the plurality of wells, respective static pressure/compressibility factor (P/Z) values plotted against cumulative production in the gas reservoir. The operations further include calculating, for each of the plurality of wells, a respective slope of the respective P/Z values plotted against cumulative production. Also, the operations include grouping, based on the respective slopes and locations of the plurality of wells, each well into a respective cluster. Additionally, the operations include designating each respective cluster as a separate compartment in the gas reservoir.
