Abstract:
Systems and methods for estimating well production performance in fractured reservoir systems using real-time down-hole temperature and stress information from advanced monitoring techniques.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for subsurface secondary and/or tertiary oil recovery optimization based on either a short term, medium term or long term optimization analysis of selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters and/or fields.
Abstract:
A method and non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying computer executable instructions for adjusting downhole valve settings in order to optimize oil recovery and reduce water production from a well. The method and non-transitory program carrier device are particularly advantageous in wells with intelligent completions that are often referred to as smart wells. In the oil and gas industry, an Internal Control Valve (ICV) is an important tool for both reactive and proactive approaches to adjust ICV settings to improve oil recovery.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive parameters for a first node of a network, the network including a plurality of segments through which an object is to be routed and a plurality of nodes, including the first node, representative of intersections of two or more segments of the plurality of segments; to generate segment lengths for segments between the first node and neighboring nodes to identify a nearest neighboring node with a shortest segment length relative to the first node; and to repeat operations of receiving parameters, generating segment lengths, and identifying nearest neighboring nodes until a route has been identified between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of the network. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring, diagnosing and optimizing operation of a gas lift (GL) system, at least some of which include a method that includes collecting measured data representative of the GL system's state, storing the measured data, comparing the measured data to a well model's calculated data for the well and identifying likely conditions of the GL system based on mismatches between the measured data and the calculated data. The method further includes updating the model to reflect the likely conditions and selected corrections of the likely conditions, generating GL system performance curves using the updated model and presenting to a user actions recommended to achieve a GL system performance consistent with a GL system operating point on at least one of the GL system performance curves.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a hybrid approach to assisted history matching in large reservoirs based on a reservoir model built using connectivity between each production well and each corresponding injection well, aquifer or gas cap.

Abstract:
A system for Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) includes a mechanical well configured to enable multi-point selective injection for water and gas. The system further includes an optimization engine configured to calculate reservoir flow dynamics and selectively inject water and gas via the mechanical well according to reservoir flow dynamics.
