    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to receiving data associated with a subterranean reservoir to be penetrated by a wellbore and training a neural network with both the data and a physics-based first principles model. The neural network is then used to make predictions regarding the properties of the subterranean reservoir, and these predictions are in turn used to determine one or more controllable parameters for equipment associated with a wellbore. The controllable parameters can then be used to control equipment for formation, stimulation, or production relative to the wellbore.

    Abstract: System for optimizing operation of an oil and gas well employs multi-objective Bayesian optimization of wellbore parameters to minimize scaling and corrosion. The system may contain instrumentation for measuring temperature, pressure, at least one production parameter and at least one ion concentration of the fluid in the wellbore. The system may also have a processor for performing a calculation procedure to determine an anticipated corrosion rate (“Vbase”) and a scaling index (“Is”) reflecting a tendency of scale to form in the wellbore based on the measurements provided by the instrumentation, where Vbase and Is are calculated along the length of the wellbore. Based on a selected set of optimization points taken from the calculations of Vbase and Is, the system may control the alkalinity and flow rate of the fluid based on the multi-objective optimization to simultaneously optimize scaling and corrosion.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to improvements in methods for evaluating and predicting responses of virtual sensors to determine formation and fluid properties as well as classifying the predicted as plausible or outlier responses that can indicate the need for maintenance of downhole physical sensors. In one aspect, a method includes detecting a change to a system of operating a wellbore to yield a determination, the system including a virtual sensor, the virtual sensor including a physical sensor placed in the wellbore for collecting one or more physical properties inside the wellbore; and based on the determination, performing one of retraining a machine learning model for predicting an output of the virtual sensor or predicting an output of the virtual sensor using the machine learning mode, the predicted output being indicative of at least one of sub-surface formation or fluid properties inside the wellbore.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a gas supply to provide gas lift for a production wellbore makes use of Bayesian optimization. A computing device controls a gas supply to inject gas into one or more wellbores. The computing device receives reservoir data associated with a subterranean reservoir to be penetrated by the wellbores and can simulate production using the reservoir data and using a physics-based or machine learning or hybrid physics-based machine learning model for the subterranean reservoir. The production simulation can provide production data. A Bayesian optimization of an objective function of the 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 the injection of gas into the wellbore or wellbores.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for predicting physical characteristics of a physical environment using a physical characterization model trained based on simulated states of a modeled physical environment. A physical characterization model can be generated based on a plurality of simulated states of a modeled physical environment. Specifically, the physical characterization model can be trained by mapping simulated spatial properties of the modeled physical environment temporally across the plurality of simulated states of the modeled physical environment. Further, input state data describing one or more input states of a physical environment can be received. One or more physical characteristics of the physical environment can be predicted by applying the physical characterization model to the one or more input states of the physical environment.
