Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method and system for oil and gas predictive analytics. A computer system receives a set of production information for a well located in a region. The computing system generates a set of general reference groups comprising one or more reference wells for the region. The computing system determines whether the set of production information for the well includes the threshold amount of production information. The computing system selects a subset of reference wells from the general reference groups based on one or more traits of the well. The computing system generates a reference curve based on the set of production information associated with each reference well in the subset of reference wells. The computing system fits a decline curve to the reference curve, to determine an estimated ultimate recovery of the well.

The controller is further programmed to, in response to the reduced value being less than the threshold, retard the engine spark and shutdown at least one cylinder of the engine to reduce the torque of the engine during the shift.

Abstract: Methods are provided that support media access control (MAC) address rotation (RCM) by generating a passcode for associating a user defined network by one or more endpoint devices instead of using MAC addresses for their respective device identity. In these methods, a computing device obtains a registration request for establishing a user defined network (UDN) and generates a unique UDN identifier and a unique passcode associated with the unique UDN identifier. The unique passcode enables an authentication of one or more endpoint devices to connect to the UDN. The authentication is independent of the MAC address of a respective endpoint device. The computing device provides the UDN identifier and the unique passcode such that the UDN identifier and the unique passcode are for connecting the one or more endpoint devices to the UDN.
