  • Publication number: 20210340867
    Abstract: A system for determining exploration potential ranking for petroleum plays according to some aspects receives geological survey data of a geographical area to be ranked for a future petroleum play. The system generates predicted values based on the geological survey data, each predicted value indicating a probability that a portion of the basin includes a first characteristic. A set of polygons that represent the basin may be generated based on the predicted values. Each polygon represents a contiguous portion of the basin that has a same predicted value. A basin is score is generated by: generating a score for each polygon using the predicted value; and aggregating the score of each polygon of the set of polygons into the basin score. The basin score is displayed for use displaying for use in determining an area in which drilling a wellbore would have a greater probability of success.

  • Publication number: 20210341643
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to receive basin data of a target basin including an area of the target basin, a number of exploration wells in the target basin, and a number of discovery wells in the target basin. Additionally, the instructions are executable to cause the processor to provide the basin data as input to a trained machine-learning model to determine a predicted trajectory of exploration efficiency of the target basin. Further, the instructions are executable to cause the processor to, in response to providing the basin data as input to the trained machine-learning model, receive an output from the trained machine-learning model indicating the predicted trajectory of exploration efficiency in the target basin.

  • Publication number: 20210342724
    Abstract: A system for analysis and display of hydrocarbon play information according to some aspects determines a probability of source rock occurrence according to source rock age based on a proven play concept. The system can also determine a relative probability of migration for hydrocarbons from a source rock of a proposed petroleum play concept to a reservoir. A relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept can be determined at least in part based on these probabilities. The system can display the relative probability of wellbore success for the proposed play concept, either alone as part of a displayed inventory of proposed hydrocarbon play concepts. The system can produce accurate results that facilitate rapid play concept investigations for hydrocarbon exploration.

  • Patent number: 11165588
    Abstract: A key identifier that identifies a cryptographic key is transmitted to a cryptographic coprocessor. A first set of attributes is received from the cryptographic coprocessor. The first set of attributes and a second set of attributes are serialized into a first sequence of attributes. The first sequence of attributes are stored to an attribute frame. One or more attributes in the second set of attributes are associated with the cryptographic key and originate from a key attribute storage of the key management system. The second set of attributes is different from the first set of attributes. The first sequence of attributes is transmitted to the cryptographic coprocessor. A first message authentication code (MAC) calculated from the first sequence of attributes is received from the cryptographic coprocessor. The attribute frame is verified by comparing the first MAC, or a value derived from the first MAC, to a reference value.

  • Patent number: 11157872
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to streamline the mechanism by which data users access differently regulated data through the use of one or more integrated identifiers. The integrated identifiers lessen or eliminate the need to separately maintain one set of identifiers for regulated data and another set for non-regulated data. The methods and systems may be applicable in various credit and healthcare contexts where regulations over data use are prevalent. In one or more embodiments, a data user receives a unique integrated identifier for each of the data user's current or prospective customers, and the integrated identifiers can be used to persistently identify and track the customers over time and across applications that access regulated and/or non-regulated data. In the healthcare context, a healthcare provider may utilize a patient ID as the integrated identifier. To protect privacy, the integrated identifier may not include social security numbers or birthdates.

  • Patent number: 11120092
    Abstract: A method and system for determining links for a linking page are provided. For each linking page of a plurality of linking pages, a similarity score between each linking page and each linked-to page is generated. Each linked-to page is associated with each linking page. Based on the similarity scores generated for each linking page, a set of linked-to pages for each linking page is identified. An importance score for the linking page is also generated. Identities of the plurality of linking pages, identities of the set of linked-to pages identified for each linking page, and the importance score for each linking page are stored as input. Based on the input, for each linking page, a subset of the set of linked-to pages identified for each linking page is assigned by a model.
