  • Tunable miniaturized physical subsurface model for simulation and inversion
    Patent number: 10108762
    Abstract: Conventional computational simulation and inversion of subsurface flow is expensive, which is wasteful in terms of time and energy consumption. The present invention discloses a process for implementation of mathematical techniques such as forward simulation, sensitivity analysis, and inversion to physical microstructure models for subsurface fluid simulation. This process not only offers accurate and reliable results, but also is cost effective.
    Type: Grant
