  • Patent number: 12147738
    Abstract: Hybrid computing that utilizes a computer processor coupled to one or more graphical processing units (GPUs) is configured to perform computations that generate outputs related to reservoir simulations associated with formations that may include natural gas and oil reservoirs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2024
    Assignee: Landmark Graphics Corporation
    Inventors: Qinghua Wang, Hanife Meftun Erdogan, Dong Li
  • Patent number: 11797577
    Abstract: An intelligent data management system leverages heterogeneous database technologies and cloud technology to manage data for reservoir simulations across the lifetime of a corresponding energy asset(s) and facilitates access of that data by various consumers despite changing compute platforms and adoption of open source paradigms. The intelligent data management system identifies the various data units that constitute a reservoir simulation output for storage and organization. The intelligent data management system organizes the constituent data units across a file system and object database based on correspondence with different simulation run attributes: project, study, and model. The intelligent data management system also learns to specify or guide configuration of simulation runs.

  • Patent number: 11639646
    Abstract: Geomechanical parameters can be used to optimize a well configuration that includes one or more projected wells having locations and geometries. Formation data and regional stress information of a formation can be used to determine a local stress variation of the formation. A quality index can be generated by combining petrophysical properties with the local stress variation. Hydrocarbon recovery flow simulations can be generated by generating well configuration models based on the quality index, generating reservoir geomechanical model that includes hydraulic fracture propagation characteristics, determining new hydraulic fractures by simulating propagation through the reservoir geomechanical model and using geomechanical rules, and determining a projected hydrocarbon recovery rate by simulating flow with the new hydraulic fractures. A well placement plan can be selected using the projected hydrocarbon recovery rates. The well placement plan can be output to be used to plan one or more wellbores.

  • Patent number: 11493664
    Abstract: A system for determining completion parameters for a wellbore includes a sensor and a computing device. The sensor can be positioned at a surface of a wellbore to detect data prior to finishing a completion stage for the wellbore. The computing device can receive the data, perform a history match for simulation and production using the sensor data and historical data, generate inferred data for completion parameters using the historical data identified during the history match, predict stimulated area and production by inputting the inferred data into a neural network model, determine completion parameters for the wellbore using Bayesian optimization on the stimulated area and production from the neural network model, profit maximization, and output the completion parameters for determining completion decisions for the wellbore.
