Abstract: Depth-averaged flow simulation systems and methods provided herein employ parameterized templates for dynamical depth profiling for at least one step of a simulation.

Abstract: A new gridding method is disclosed for forward stratigraphic modeling that allows for syndepositional and/or postdepositional fault movement. The new gridding algorithm may represent both the lateral move of structure block, and provide efficiency that is comparable to the structured grid for forward stratigraphy model accessing previous deposited sediments stored in the grid. Embodiments of the disclosed methods allow for structural moves by performing a set of simple operations on the grid. The operations are generally simple, and do not change the overall topology of the grid. Therefore the operation can be easily repeated and the overall topological structure of the grid remains largely unchanged for simple access by the forward stratigraphic model. Further details and advantages of various embodiments of the method are described in more herein.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for identifying simulated basin results and associated input parameter values for simulation of geographic basins by a stratigraphic forward model simulation program that are most likely to represent the actual basin by treating inputs and outputs of the stratigraphic forward model simulation program in a unified manner. An embodiment may calculate probability distributions for input parameters and validation data, and calculate likelihoods of simulated basins as a combination of the combination of the probabilities of the input parameters used to create the simulated basin and of the combination of the probabilities simulation validation results of the simulated basin. An embodiment may then select most likely simulation model result basins based on the results having a higher calculated likelihood. The most likely simulated basins may be used for analysis of exploration and/or production decisions without the need for additional, expensive testing on the actual basin.

Abstract: A system for and computer implemented method for analysis of data representative of subsurface properties of a subsurface region. The method includes transforming the data representative of subsurface properties of the subsurface region into transformed data in accordance with a selected criterion. A three dimensional window geometry to be applied to the transformed data is selected, based, at least in part, on expected feature sizes present, data sampling density and a size of the subsurface region. A plurality of values for a three dimensional lacunarity statistic are calculated by applying the selected three dimensional window geometry to randomly selected regions of the subsurface region, and correlating the calculated values to the subsurface properties of the subsurface region.

Abstract: A technique for job screening may involve providing a video-augmented resume. An aspect of the technique can include providing a teaser video builder to resume-building users to enforce rules regarding “teaser” video entry. Alternatively or in addition, video could be augmented to push data that would normally be acquired in interview forward in a hiring process. Another aspect of the technique can include providing a cue point editor that augments video with hyperlinks and special effects. A similar editor can be provided to reviewers that are available, for example, in a social network for resume-building users.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for conducting a geologic basin analysis in order to determine the accumulation of hydrocarbons in a subsurface region of interest. One embodiment of the present invention includes defining a basin analysis project within a subsurface region; applying at least one basin analysis workflow to the basin analysis project; and integrating the results of the basin analysis to generate basin analysis project results for the basin. The project results are used to optimize and manage the performance of technical tasks required for the basin analysis project in order to determine the accumulation of hydrocarbons in the subsurface region of interest.
