  • Patent number: 11036682
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with flexible aggregation of energy information are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request via a graphical user interface that comprises a plurality of selectable inputs that define the request. A plurality of energy dimensions are selected from a set of available energy dimensions, a plurality of combinations of the plurality of energy dimensions are determined, an energy bucket is generated for each combination of the plurality of energy dimensions, and the script is generated based upon the energy buckets. A target database is accessed on a remote target server, and the script is executed on the target database to initiate extraction of data that matches each energy bucket into a dynamic table in the target database, and run an energy option on the data extracted into the dynamic table.

  • Patent number: 9739902
    Abstract: A method for mapping remaining hydrocarbon resources in a subsurface reservoir, includes obtaining a map of seismic amplitude difference over a time period based on a survey of the subsurface reservoir, generating an expected trend dataset for the reservoir based on one or more non-water saturation effects detected over the time period by one or more wellbore surveillance techniques at one or more locations in the reservoir, correcting the map of seismic amplitude difference, at least in part, on the expected trend dataset to generate a corrected seismic amplitude map, and using the corrected seismic amplitude difference map to generate a map representative of remaining hydrocarbon resources in the reservoir. Embodiments include a system for performing the method and a medium containing computer executable software instructions for performing the method.

  • Publication number: 20150032377
    Abstract: A method for mapping remaining hydrocarbon resources in a subsurface reservoir, includes generating a pressure depletion map of the subsurface reservoir based on a pressure depletion dataset representing a pressure change in at least one well over a time interval, obtaining a hydrocarbon pore thickness map of the subsurface reservoir based on a hydrocarbon pore thickness dataset representing hydrocarbon pore thickness substantially at a beginning of the time interval, using the pressure depletion map and the hydrocarbon pore thickness map, generating a remaining resource map of the subsurface reservoir, for each of a plurality of infill wells located in the subsurface reservoir and operated during a portion of the time interval, determining an estimated ultimate recovery value, using each estimated ultimate recovery value with data from the remaining resource map for the locations of the infill wells to determine a correlation, and using the correlations and the remaining resource map, evaluating a location f
