  • Publication number: 20260203467
    Abstract: Techniques for simulating carbon dioxide injection into a saline aquifer. The techniques include obtaining geological reference data that is correlated to a saline aquifer formation layer and establishing a set of carbon dioxide injection parameters to be tested. The simulation is computationally practical and efficient by mathematically partitioning the aquifer formation layer into a plurality of discrete partitions based on the geological reference data and utilizing fast analytical solutions to obtain relevant properties of interest within each partition. Thus, estimating carbon dioxide flow characteristics for each discrete partition of the plurality may take place based on the geological reference data and the carbon dioxide injection parameters.

  • Publication number: 20260194687
    Abstract: Techniques for simulating carbon dioxide injection into a saline aquifer. The techniques include obtaining geological reference data and establishing carbon dioxide injection parameters. With this data and parameters in mind, a node-based resistance grid may be established that is used to schematically generate flowlines across the saline aquifer. From the flowlines, tessellated partitions may be developed and potentially subdivided into manageable platonic shape portions. Thus, a mathematical manner of estimating flow characteristics for the proposed injection application may be simulated in a fast and reliable manner.

  • Publication number: 20260170258
    Abstract: A method for utterance analysis for selective virtual assistant responses includes: receiving a text input; determining, using a first language model, an intent associated with the text input; receiving, by the first language model, a first list of predefined intents and a second list of select intents, wherein each predefined intent is associated with a respective predefined response; comparing the determined intent to the first list of predefined intents and to the second list of select intents to determine a respective first match or a respective second match; responsive to determining the respective first match, retrieving and outputting the respective predefined response; responsive to determining the respective second match, providing the text input and a prompt to a second language model; and generating and outputting a generative response to the text input using the second language model.

  • Publication number: 20240344451
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for approximating spatial and temporal saturation and pressure of a carbon dioxide injection into an aquifer. In an example, the well is divided into segments for modeling purposes. A user provides initial input parameters for the bottom of a first segment, including an initial temperature and pressure. The initial parameters are used as input in an algorithm corresponding to the leak type. The algorithm outputs new property parameters corresponding to the top of the first segment. The new parameters are used as inputs in the algorithm in the next highest segment. This continues until all segments have been calculated. The outputs are aggregated and presented in a graphical template that includes edges representative of the output properties that connect nodes representing the well and surrounding wells and features.

  • Patent number: 11795793
    Abstract: Systems, computer-readable media, and methods for valuating measurement data, of which the method includes obtaining a first model of a subsurface volume, determining a baseline control parameter based on the first model, receiving new measurement data measured using a data collection device, the new measurement data representing one or more characteristics of the subsurface volume, and obtaining a second model of the subsurface volume based in part on the new measurement data. The first model is not based on the new measurement data. Further, the method includes determining an enhanced control parameter based on the second model, determining an enhanced value corresponding to the second model using the enhanced control parameter, determining a realized value corresponding to the second model using the baseline control parameter, and calculating a value of the new measurement data by comparing the enhanced value and the realized value.

  • Patent number: 10295752
    Abstract: An LC adapter provided with a built-in light shielding plate includes a frame. One end of the frame is provided with interfaces for matching with connection members. An upper light shielding plate and a lower light shielding plate in a spliced connection with each other are disposed at a position within the frame close to the interfaces. Both the upper light shielding plate and the lower light shielding plate are hingedly connected to the frame through a return spring. When a connection member is inserted into an interface, the upper light shielding plate and the lower light shielding plate rotate relative to the frame and are separated from each other. When the connection member is unplugged from the interface, the upper light shielding plate and the lower light shielding plate are restored to the state of the spliced connection with each other.

  • Patent number: 9869825
    Abstract: A LC-typed duplex connector includes a connecting head assembly, a boot assembly and a handle. The handle includes a first elastic structure portion, a second elastic structure portion and a hand shank portion. When the second elastic structure portion is detached from the boot assembly, the first elastic structure portion is detached from the connecting head assembly under the action of the hand shank portion, achieving the detachment and alternate side operation of the LC-typed duplex connector. The detachable handle can efficiently fasten the connecting head assembly with the boot assembly together. The first and second elastic structure portions are easier to detach from the connecting head assembly and the boot assembly respectively under the action of the hand shank portion. Moreover, the hand shank portion is matched with the tail end of the boot assembly, thereby improving efficiently the space utilization of the panel.
