  • Patent number: 7876705
    Abstract: A Single Well Predictive Model (SWPM) software based computer system stores a Single Well Predictive Model (SWPM) software therein. When the SWPM software is executed, the SWPM computer system will: (1) automatically produce a first specific workflow comprised of a first plurality of software modules in response to a first set of user objectives and automatically execute the first specific workflow in response to a first set of input data to produce a first desired product, and (2) automatically produce a second specific workflow comprised of a second plurality of software modules in response to a second set of user objectives and automatically execute the second specific workflow in response to a second set of input data to produce a second desired product.

  • Patent number: 7725302
    Abstract: A method for performing an oilfield operation on a reservoir, including: obtaining a user objective identifying the oilfield operation; obtaining a set of input data; selecting a workflow in response to the user objective, where the workflow comprises a build model module and a tune model module; generating a 1D model of the reservoir using the build module, where the 1D model includes multiple per unit of depth properties; generating a 3D model of the reservoir by distributing the plurality of per unit of depth properties in 3D; calibrating the 3D model using the tune model module, modular dynamic tester transient test data, and a historical response of the reservoir; forecasting a response of the reservoir to the set of input data by applying the first set of input data to the 3D model; and using the response to perform the oilfield operation.

  • Publication number: 20080091283
    Abstract: Computer-based method and system are disclosed for conduction a brownfield assessment. The system/method involves a workflow manager that standardizes the tasks needed to be performed during the brownfield assessment and streamlines the completion of these tasks. The workflow manager incorporates expert knowledge and best practices identified over time for previous brownfield assessments. The expert knowledge and best practices are then applied automatically through operation of the workflow manager. Such an arrangement can result in significantly reduced completion time as well as more consistent deliverables from engineer to engineer and project to project.
