  • Publication number: 20260170439
    Abstract: The systems and methods provided herein provide optimization procedures and models for enhancing decarbonization technology investment and operations. For example, an optimization procedure may include selecting a plurality of decarbonization initiatives to consider for implementation for an enterprise; classifying each decarbonization initiative of the plurality of decarbonization initiatives based on one or more decision types; selecting one or more optimization objectives and associated constraints for the plurality of decarbonization initiatives; formulating a unified optimization model based on the one or more optimization objectives and associated constraints; solving the unified optimization model for each decarbonization initiative of the plurality of decarbonization initiatives to determine an optimized decarbonization action plan; and funding and implementing the optimized decarbonization action plan.

  • Patent number: 10012055
    Abstract: A method can include building a network model that represents a production system for fluid, assigning equations to sub-networks in the network model where at least one of the sub-networks is assigned equations formulated for solving for enthalpy implicitly or temperature implicitly, providing data, transferring the data to the network model and simulating physical phenomena associated with the production system using the network model to provide simulation results. Various other technologies, techniques, etc., are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20160275217
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating fluid properties in a production system include receiving data from a sensor. The data represents a first property of a fluid that is measured by the sensor. A second property of the fluid is estimated based at least in part on the measured first property. A third property of the fluid is calculated using the estimated second property. Calculating the third property includes running a first simulation on a first simulator and running a second simulation on a second simulator. The first and second simulations at least partially overlap in the time domain. It is then determined whether results of the first and second simulations converge to a common value.

  • Publication number: 20160034139
    Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and computer-readable media for organizing options in an interface. The method includes receiving data representing a type of domain object, and predicting one or more generic predicted events based at least in part on the type of domain object. The one or more generic predicted events are predicted using a generic predictor. The method also includes receiving data representing an actual next event, and updating the generic predictor based on the actual next event.

  • Publication number: 20140303949
    Abstract: A method can include, via an interface of a computing system, receiving information representing a change to a network model of a production system; via the computing system, simulating at least a portion of the production system based at least in part on a portion of the information and at least a portion of the network model to generate simulation results; and, via the interface, transmitting at least a portion of the simulation results. Various other technologies, techniques, etc., are also disclosed.
