  • Publication number: 20210042633
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for aggregating source data to form ontological frameworks. Aggregation functions are defined for ontological frameworks modeling categories of components of a facility. Each aggregation function defines a target component selected from a Things category, an Events category, and a Methods category. Defining the target component includes aggregating information from one or more components selected from one or more of the Things category, the Events category, and the Methods category. Source data is received in real-time from disparate sources and in disparate formats. The source data provides information about the components of the facility and external systems with which the facility interacts. Using the aggregation functions, the source data is aggregated to form the ontological frameworks. Each ontological framework models a component of the Things category, a component of the a Events category, or a component of the Methods category.

  • Publication number: 20200292722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a fractured reservoir model include: receiving a seismic dataset of a surveyed subsurface; identifying a dynamic response of each parameter; selecting a subset of parameters from the set of parameters based on the dynamic response of each parameter; sampling an outer boundary of a parameter uncertainty domain; adjusting the range of values associated with each parameter of the subset based on the sampling; generating a geo-model based on the adjusted range of values associated with each parameter of the subset; generating a discrete fracture network model based on the geo-model; generating a scenario of a simulation model based on the discrete fracture network model and the geo-model; performing a forward simulation based on the scenario of the simulation model; determining that a misfit of the forward simulation is below a threshold by evaluating an objective function; and producing a model based on the forward simulation.

  • Patent number: 10359540
    Abstract: A system and method for performing classification and regression tree flow simulations for reservoir. A partial flow simulation is performed. Dynamic properties associated with the partial flow simulation are stored for each time step. CART is utilized to predict changes in the dynamic properties utilizing stored dynamic properties determined by the partial flow simulation.

  • Patent number: 10324228
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing gridless simulation of a fluvio-deltaic environment. For example, one disclosed embodiment includes a system that includes at least one processor, and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor performs operations that include generating a set of channel centerlines corresponding to a set of channels that are indicative of flow units in a fluvio-deltaic environment; and generating channel widths for each of the channel centerlines. In one embodiment, the operations for generating the set of channel centerlines of the reservoir include selecting a seed point for each channel, assigning each seed point a direction of propagation, and iteratively generating each channel.

  • Publication number: 20170003694
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive parameters for a first node of a network, the network including a plurality of segments through which an object is to be routed and a plurality of nodes, including the first node, representative of intersections of two or more segments of the plurality of segments; to generate segment lengths for segments between the first node and neighboring nodes to identify a nearest neighboring node with a shortest segment length relative to the first node; and to repeat operations of receiving parameters, generating segment lengths, and identifying nearest neighboring nodes until a route has been identified between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of the network. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
