Abstract:
Neural network systems and related machine learning methods for geological modeling are provided that employ an improved generative adversarial network including a generator neural network and a discriminator neural network. The generator neural network is trained to map a combination of a noise vector and a category code vector as input to a simulated image of geological facies. The discriminator neural network is trained to map at least one image of geological facies provided as input to corresponding probability that the at least one image of geological facies provided as input is a training image of geological facies or a simulated image of geological facies produced by the generator neural network.
Abstract:
A method (and corresponding system) that characterizes a porous rock sample is provided, which involves subjecting the porous rock sample to an applied experimental pressure where a first fluid that saturates the porous rock sample is displaced by a second fluid, and subsequently applying an NMR pulse sequence to the rock sample, detecting resulting NMR signals, and generating and storing NMR data representative of the detected NMR signals. The application of experimental pressure and NMR measurements can be repeated over varying applied experimental pressure to obtain NMR data associated with varying applied experimental pressure values. The NMR data can be processed using inversion to obtain a probability distribution function of capillary pressure values as a function of NMR property values. The probability distribution function of capillary pressure values as a function of NMR property values can be processed to determine at least one parameter indicative of the porous rock sample.
Abstract:
Methods may include normalizing two or more wellbore logs obtained from the output of two or more wellbore tool surveys of a wellbore in a formation of interest; inputting two or more wellbore logs into a correlation matrix; assigning each of the two or more wellbore logs a positive or negative value based on the impact on a selected wellbore quality; performing a principal component analysis of the two or more wellbore logs to obtain one or more loading vectors; computing weighting factors for each of the two or more wellbore logs from the one or more loading vectors; and generating a quality index by linearly combining the two or more wellbore logs using the computed weighting factors.
Abstract:
Methods of generating structural models of highly deviated or horizontal wells may be generated from the measurement of true stratigraphic thickness in three dimensions (TST3D). In one aspect, methods may include generating a structural model from one or more deviation surveys of a horizontal well, one or more single channel log measurements, and a three-dimensional reference surface.
Abstract:
The present disclosure introduces methods and apparatus for acquiring a borehole image corresponding to a sidewall surface of a borehole that penetrates a subterranean formation, wherein the subterranean formation comprises structural elements and a varying geophysical characteristic. The borehole image comprises structure corresponding to the structural elements, texture corresponding to the varying geophysical characteristic, and coverage gaps (605) in which the structure and texture are missing. Trends corresponding to the structure are extracted from the borehole image. Missing structure within the gaps (605) is reconstructed based on the extracted trends. Missing texture within the gaps is simulated based on the borehole image and the reconstructed structure. A fullbore image is constructed based on the borehole image, the reconstructed structure within the gaps, and the simulated texture within the gaps.

Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system are provided for defining one or more injector completions and one or more producer completions in one or more reservoir models. One or more edges between the one or more injector completions and the one or more producer completions in the one or more reservoir models may be defined. The one or more edges between the one or more injector completions and the one or more producer completions may define a graph network representative of the one or more reservoir models. The one or more reservoir models may be simulated along the one or more edges between the one or more injector completions and the one or more producer completions.
