Abstract:
A method, according to an embodiment, provides a simulation of a physical real-world system, by first generating a system of equations that includes a discrete representation of the real-world system being simulated. Next, the real-world system is simulated. In simulating the system, a user specified tolerance of a solution of the system of equations is obtained. Then, the system of equations is iteratively solved until a solution to the system of equations for a given iteration is within the user specified tolerance of the solution of the system of equations for approximately infinite iterations. In such an embodiment, the solution to the system of equations for the given iteration is determined to be within the user specified tolerance using an experimentally determined constant, an estimate of a minimum eigenvalue of the system of equations for the given iteration, and a residual of the system of equations for the given iteration.

Abstract:
In the proposed approach cluster elements (bins) are made available as a keypad in the form of a cluster map. The user directly selects the cluster element (bin) with a mouse, touch or actual keypad. For each of the associated attributes, a cluster map is available that orders the attributes from high-to-low by color or shade intensity. When a cluster element is selected in one cluster map, that same cluster element is also highlighted in other cluster maps. For each of the cluster maps, a value axis is available which shows the value of the parameter for the selected cluster element. In the case of numerical values, the high/low attribute pattern across the cluster maps is easily visible. The selected data objects in the cluster map are displayed in a separate widget.
Abstract:
A computer method, apparatus and system simulate hydraulic fracturing. The computer system/method models a wellbore of an injection well. The wellbore model includes a hydraulic drill pipe element in a borehole and related fluid flow in the borehole. The borehole workflow is modeled in a subject rock formation. A simulator operatively coupled to the model obtains pressure values from the modeled borehole workflow and modeled wellbore. The simulator automatically converts pore pressure from the modeled borehole into a mechanical pressure load on the subject rock formation. The mechanical pressure as hydrostatic pressure is automatically applied to the surface of the rock formation affected by the borehole and responsively defines one or more pressure induced fractures. A 2D or 3D graphical representation of the pressure induced fractures in the rock formation are displayed on output.
