    Abstract: A method includes collecting a first set of borehole gravity data at a first time step along a length of a first wellbore and collecting a second set of borehole gravity data at the first time step along a length of a second wellbore. The method also includes interpolating a third set of borehole gravity data at the first time step in an area between the first wellbore and the second wellbore using the first and the second sets of borehole gravity data. Further, the method includes determining a first fluid saturation and a fluid saturation change over time in a reservoir containing the first wellbore and the second wellbore using the first set, the second set, and the third set. Moreover, the method includes controlling wellbore production operations or wellbore injection operations at the first wellbore based on the fluid saturation change.

    Abstract: The disclosure presents processes for improving the design phase of tubular structures to be used downhole in a borehole. A hybrid collapse strength model can be utilized that uses a linear collapse strength model for an initial percentage range based on the initial wall thickness of the tubular structure. A standards collapse strength model can be used once a wall thickness threshold is not satisfied. In some aspects, a transition collapse strength model can be used prior to the standards collapse strength model to avoid discontinuities in the analysis. The hybrid collapse strength model can enable more efficient use of tubular structures, designing a longer operational lifetime, or the use of thinner structures while maintaining a satisfactory operational lifetime. Lower operational costs of the borehole can be achieved through using less expensive tubular structures and through a reduction of costs associated with replacing a section of casing within the borehole.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a gas supply to provide gas lift for wellbore(s) using Bayesian optimization. A computing device controls a gas supply to inject gas into wellbore(s). The computing device receives first reservoir data associated with a first subterranean reservoir and simulates production using the first reservoir data, using a model for the first subterranean reservoir. The production simulation provides first production data. The computing device receives second reservoir data associated with a subterranean reservoir and simulates production using the second reservoir data, using a model for the second subterranean reservoir. The production simulation provides second production data. A Bayesian optimization of an objective function of the first and second 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 injection of gas into the wellbore(s).

    Abstract: A reservoir model for values of a formation property is simulated using a turning bands method with distributed computing. A distributed computing system simulates the reservoir on separate machines in parallel in several stages. First, line distributions are simulated independently on turning bands. The reservoir model is partitioned into tiles and unconditional simulations are run on each tile in parallel using the corresponding simulated turning bands. The unconditional simulations within each tile are conditioned on known formation values to generate conditional simulations. Conditional simulations are aggregated across tiles to create the simulated reservoir model.

    Abstract: An intelligent data management system leverages heterogeneous database technologies and cloud technology to manage data for reservoir simulations across the lifetime of a corresponding energy asset(s) and facilitates access of that data by various consumers despite changing compute platforms and adoption of open source paradigms. The intelligent data management system identifies the various data units that constitute a reservoir simulation output for storage and organization. The intelligent data management system organizes the constituent data units across a file system and object database based on correspondence with different simulation run attributes: project, study, and model. The intelligent data management system also learns to specify or guide configuration of simulation runs.

    Abstract: A method for assessing an integrity of metal tubular structures may comprise receiving one or more inputs, applying an algorithm to automatically select an appropriate model for a given corrosion scenario, applying a combined model including semi-empirical and multiphase flow corrosion characteristics to the one or more inputs, determining one or more corrosion parameters of either an internal pipe wall, an external pipe surface, or both, applying a corrosion correlation value to the one or more corrosion parameters to produce one or more correlated corrosion parameters, and storing the one or more correlated corrosion parameters on a computer readable medium. A system may comprise an information handling system which may comprise at least one memory operable to store computer-executable instructions, at least one communications interface to access the at least one memory, and at least one processor.
