Abstract: A computer-implemented method for prioritizing candidate objects on which to perform a physical process includes receiving a time series history of measurements from each of a plurality of candidate objects at a data processing framework. The method further includes reducing dimensionality of the time series history of measurements with a convolutional autoencoder to obtain latent features for each of the plurality of candidate objects. The method also includes applying a kernel regression model to the latent features to generate a predicted value of physical output for performing the physical process on each of the plurality of candidate objects. The method additionally includes generating a prioritization of the candidate objects based on the values of physical output. The method involves selecting fewer than all of the plurality of candidate objects on which to perform the physical process. The selected candidate objects are based on the prioritization.

Abstract: Additional oil recovery is obtained from a reservoir with a composition comprising at least a coupling solvent typically employed in waterborne coating compositions. Embodiments include recovering hydrocarbons using at least one coupling solvent, such as an oxygenated coupling solvent. The coupling solvent increases the mutual solubility with water at the injection temperature to facilitate the mixing and injection, particularly with an optional co-solvent. The coupling solvent helps mitigate formation plugging and improve performance when injected into a formation, as the solvent mixture moves from being miscible in the injection field water to being miscible in the reservoir oil, mobilizing the reservoir oil to increase oil recovery.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for identifying reservoir facies in a subsurface region includes obtaining a set of seismic data points of both petrophysical and geophysical parameters relating to the subsurface region, identifying one or more correlated clusters of petrophysical parameters, generating, from the one or more correlated clusters of petrophysical parameters, one or more corresponding multi-dimensional clusters of seismic data points, storing, in a facies database, a multi-dimensional cluster center point for at least one multi-dimensional clusters, and recursively splitting the multi-dimensional clusters into distinct sub-clusters of seismic data points corresponding to facies types.

Abstract: Produced water from a crude oil or natural gas production process is purified using a membrane purification system for petroleum production, agricultural, commercial and domestic uses. The produced water is pretreated to remove, at least, particulates and oil from the produced water. The minimally pretreated water is then purified in a membrane purification system that is operated at conditions such that contaminants are removed. In particular, the membrane purification system is operated with pH adjustments to allow boron and ammonia to be effectively removed. In some embodiments, greater than 95% of the boron content and greater than 95% of the ammonia content are removed. Some method embodiments include no separate ion exchange separation step capable of removing ammonia.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively evaluating multiple computer-based plate tectonic models for application in a geographic region of interest, in some embodiments, comprises: selecting a plurality of computer-based plate tectonic models; using multiple computer-based plate tectonic models to generate one or more predictions for one or more geological parameters; obtaining observational data for each of said one or more geological parameters; for each of said one or more geological parameters, quantitatively comparing the predictions and the observational data to determine model rankings; and displaying said model rankings on a computer display.

Abstract: A computer-based method of conditioning reservoir model data includes performing a modeling process within a 3D stratigraphic grid to generate an initial model including one or more facies objects within the model volume, the modeling process including parametric distributions, initial and boundary conditions as well as depositional and erosional events to define the facies objects within the model volume. The mismatch between this initial model and the conditioning well data and potential input trend model is applied to compute a locally variable constraint model. The method further includes executing a multiple point statistics simulation with this constraint model that varies between completely constrained by the initial model at locations where the initial model is consistent with known well data and potential input trend models, and unconstrained by the initial model at locations where the initial model does not match known well data or potential input trend models to allow conformance to the known data.

Abstract: Produced water from a crude oil or natural gas production process is purified using a membrane purification system for petroleum production, agricultural, commercial and domestic uses. The produced water is pretreated to remove, at least, particulates and oil from the produced water. The minimally pretreated water is then purified in a membrane purification system, that is operated at conditions such that membrane scaling is reduced or prevented. In particular, the membrane purification system is operated to maintain the turbidity of clarified water feed to the system or intermediate aqueous streams that are cascading through the membrane purification system. Ensuring that the turbidity of the reject streams generated in the membrane system are useful in achieving long membrane operating life.
