Publication number: 20240145041Abstract: The computer system applies machine learning techniques to train a computational model using data representing researched items and their known properties. The computer system applies the trained computational model to data representing the potential candidate items to predict whether such items have such properties. The trained computational model outputs one or more predictions about whether the potential candidate items are likely to have a property from among the plurality of types of properties that the computational model is trained to predict. The computer system allows multiple machine learning experiments to be defined, and then allows predictions from those multiple machine learning experiments to be queried, including accessing aggregate statistics for those predictions. In some implementations, a machine learning experiment can specify a computational model that is an ensemble of multiple models.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Hok Hei Tam, Varun Shivashankar, Nathan Sanders, Terran Lane, David Kolesky, Mostafa Karimi

Patent number: 11009497Abstract: A method for analyzing a rock sample to determine a mechanical property of the rock sample includes (a) segmenting a digital image volume corresponding to an image of the rock sample. In addition, the method includes (b) partitioning the digital image volume to associate a plurality of voxels in the digital image volume with a plurality of grains of the rock sample. Further, the method includes (c) determining the voxels of the plurality of voxels that are adjacent to each other to identify a plurality of contact interfaces between the grains. Still further, the method includes (d) determining a contact area of each of the contact interfaces using adjacent voxels at the corresponding grain-grain interface. The method also includes (e) determining a number of contact interfaces that each grain of the plurality of grains has with each adjacent grain.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: BP CORPORATION NORTH AMERICA INC.Inventors: Jennie Cook, Abdulla Kerimov, Nathan Lane

Patent number: 10997327Abstract: A method for analyzing a rock sample includes segmenting a digital image volume corresponding to the rock sample, to associate voxels in the digital image volume with pore space or solid material. A distance transform is applied to each pore space voxel. The distance transform assigns a distance value to the pore space voxel specifying distance from the pore space voxel to a solid material voxel. Drainage is numerically simulated by, for a pore space, selecting each distance value assigned to a pore space voxel that is greater than a predetermined threshold value to represent a radius of a sphere of a non-wetting fluid introduced into the pore space. The sphere is centered at the pore space voxel corresponding to the distance value. The digital image volume is numerically analyzed to characterize a material property of the rock sample at a non-wetting fluid saturation produced by the drainage.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: BP CORPORATION NORTH AMERICA INC.Inventors: Joanne Fredrich, Nathan Lane
