Abstract:
System and methods for tuning equation of state (EOS) characterizations are presented. Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data is obtained for downhole fluids within a reservoir formation. A component grouping for an EOS model of the downhole fluids is determined, based on the obtained PVT data. The component grouping is used to estimate properties of the downhole fluids for a current stage of a downhole operation within the formation. A machine learning model is trained to minimize an error between the estimated properties and actual fluid properties measured during the current stage of the operation, where the component grouping for the EOS model is iteratively adjusted by the machine learning model until the error is minimized. The EOS model is tuned using the adjusted component grouping. Fluid properties are estimated for one or more subsequent stages of the downhole operation to be performed along the wellbore, based on the tuned EOS model.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure provides for a mechanism implemented with neural networks through machine learning to predict wear and relative performance metrics for performing repairs on drill bits in a next repair cycle, which can improve decision making by drill bit repair model engines, drill bit design, and help reduce the cost of drill bit repairs. The machine learning mechanism includes obtaining drill bit data from different data sources and integrating the drill bit data from each of the data sources into an integrated dataset. The integrated dataset is pre-processed to filter out outliers. The filtered dataset is applied to a neural network to build a machine learning based model and extract features that indicate significant parameters affecting wear. A repair type prediction is determined with the applied machine learning based model and is provided as a signal for facilitating a drill bit operation on a cutter of the drill bit.

Abstract:
A hydrocarbon field including thief zones can be modeled based on production history data and supplemental data constraining a thief-zone distribution across the field. In various embodiments, a numerical optimization approach involves creating a plurality of model thief-zone distributions with varying parameter values, parameterizing permeability maps obtained for the thief-zone distributions and aggregating across the thief-zone distributions to obtain distributions of coefficients associated with the parameterization, and then iteratively sampling the coefficient distributions, determining a permeability map of the model based on the selected coefficients, and measuring a deviation between the measured production history data and simulated production history data derived from the computational model until a match is achieved.
