  • Patent number: 11391129
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a gas supply to provide gas lift for a production wellbore makes use of Bayesian optimization. A computing device controls a gas supply to inject gas into one or more wellbores. The computing device receives reservoir data associated with a subterranean reservoir to be penetrated by the wellbores and can simulate production using the reservoir data and using a physics-based or machine learning or hybrid physics-based machine learning model for the subterranean reservoir. The production simulation can provide production data. A Bayesian optimization of an objective function of the production data subject to any gas injection constraints can be performed to produce gas lift parameters. The gas lift parameters can be applied to the gas supply to control the injection of gas into the wellbore or wellbores.

  • Patent number: 10936007
    Abstract: A method for reducing a clock-data skew in a serial interface. A clock signal and a data signal are received through the serial interface at first and second inputs of an exclusive OR (XOR) averaging (XOR-averaging) gate. An output of the XOR-averaging gate is determined and compared with a target value. At least one of a delay of the clock signal and a delay of the data signal is determined based on comparing the output of the XOR-averaging gate with the target value. A skew between the clock signal and the data signal is reduced by delaying at least one of the clock signal and the data signal.
