Abstract: Embodiments for generating a reservoir performance forecast are provided. The embodiments may be executed by a computer system. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining inflow performance relationship data generated from a physics-based subsurface-surface coupled simulation model having a surface, a subsurface, and one or more wells fluidly connecting the subsurface to the surface. The inflow performance relationship data comprises performance data for at least one phase of fluid for each well. The method also includes generating a performance forecast for the reservoir using a subsurface simulator and a surface simulator. The subsurface simulator uses the inflow performance relationship data to represent the subsurface during generation of the performance forecast, and the performance forecast satisfies constraints solved by the surface simulator. In one embodiment, a method does not utilize a surface simulator.

Abstract: A method is described for seismic depth uncertainty analysis including receiving wavelet basis functions and cutoff thresholds and randomly perturbing wavelet coefficients in reduced wavelet space based on the wavelet basis functions and the cutoff thresholds to generate a plurality of random wavelet fields; receiving a reference model in a depth domain; transforming the plurality of random wavelet fields to the depth domain and combining them with the reference model to form candidate models; performing a hierarchical Bayesian modeling with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling methods using the candidate models as input to generate a plurality of realizations; and computing statistics of the plurality of realizations to estimate depth uncertainty. The method may be executed by a computer system.

Abstract: Well data (e.g., well log) may be divided into multiple segments, and different samplings of data in the individual segments may be performed to increase the amount of data that is used to train a seismic inversion model. Synthetic well data may be generated from real well data to increase the amount of well data from which sampling is performed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting the erosion and corrosion effects of solids during oil and/or gas production. An erosion corrosion detector (BCD) is positioned in fluid communication with a pipe in a production facility such that a sensor element of the BCD contacts at least a partial stream of produced fluid in the pipe. Changes in one or more physical measurement of the BCD and/or changes in pressure drop across the sensor element are monitored over time. The changes are interpreted to identify whether there is loss of materials (e.g., metal) in the production facility, quantify of this loss, and determine the mechanisms through which this loss is occurring. A control system can receive the change in the physical measurement and/or the pressure drop over time as input into a control strategy for controlling a well control valve to control a rate of production of well fluids.

Abstract: A system and method of estimating a flow rate through a pipe using thermodynamics. The flow rates are estimated by using fluid properties, reservoir properties, pump properties, and heat transfer properties. Additionally, historical well data can be used to create a model that is used to estimate flow rate through a pipe.
