  • Publication number: 20170292513
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for assessing health of fracturing fluid pump assemblies and other wellsite equipment. For example, predicted data indicative of a first operational parameter of a pump assembly is generated utilizing: a model relating the first operational parameter to each of a plurality of second operational parameters of the pump assembly; and real-time data indicative of each of the second operational parameters. Health of the pump assembly is then assessed based on: the predicted data indicative of the first operational parameter; and real-time data indicative of the first operational parameter.

  • Publication number: 20070198215
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for performing prognosis and asset management services is provided. The method includes calculating an accumulated damage estimate for a component via a diagnostics function and applying future mission data for the component to at least one model that calculates accumulated damage or remaining life of the component. The method also includes inputting the accumulated damage estimate to the model and aggregating damage over time and quality assessments produced by the model. The method further includes calculating a damage propagation profile and remaining life estimate for the component based on the aggregating and providing an uncertainty estimate for the damage estimate and the remaining life estimate.

  • Publication number: 20060271210
    Abstract: A method and system for performing model-based multi-objective asset optimization and decision-making is provided. The method includes building at least two predictive models for an asset. The building includes categorizing operational historical data via at least one of: controllable variables, uncontrollable variables, output objectives, and constraints. The building also includes selecting at least two output objectives or constraints, and identifying at least one controllable or uncontrollable variable suitable for achieving the at least two output objectives or constraints. The method also includes validating each predictive model and performing multi-objective optimization using the predictive models. The multi-objective optimization includes specifying search constraints and applying a multi-objective optimization algorithm. The method further includes generating a Pareto Frontier, and selecting a Pareto optimal input-output vector.

  • Publication number: 20060247798
    Abstract: A method and system for performing multi-objective predictive modeling, monitoring, and update for an asset is provided. The method includes determining a status of each of at least two predictive models for an asset as a result of monitoring predicted performance values. The status of each predictive model includes at least one of: acceptable performance values, validating model, and unacceptable performance values. Based upon the status of each predictive model, the method includes performing at least one of: terminating use of the at least two predictive models for the asset, generating an alert for the asset of the status of the at least two predictive models, and updating the at least two predictive models based upon the status of the at least two predictive models.

  • Publication number: 20050187847
    Abstract: The systems and methods of the invention are directed to portfolio optimization and related techniques. For example, the invention provides a method for multi-objective portfolio optimization for use in investment decisions based on competing objectives and a plurality of constraints constituting a portfolio problem, the method sequentially comprising: generating a non-dominated solution set in a space; applying a first set of user-specified constraints to reduce the solutions in the non-dominated solution set to a solution subset; and executing a series of local tradeoffs on the solution subset to result in a resulting solution subset, the local tradeoffs being performed in a lower dimension performance space as compared to the space, and the solution subset being used in investment decisioning.

  • Publication number: 20050187848
    Abstract: The systems and methods of the invention are directed to portfolio optimization and related techniques. For example, the invention provides a method for multi-objective portfolio optimization for use in investment decisions based on competing objectives and a plurality of constraints constituting a portfolio problem, the method comprising: performing a first multi-objective optimization process, based on competing objectives, to generate an efficient frontier of possible solutions; observing the generated efficient frontier; based on the observing, identifying an area of the efficient frontier in which there is a gap; and effecting a gap filling process by which the efficient frontier is supplemented in the area of the gap, the efficient frontier being used in investment decisioning.
