Abstract:
A method for quantifying and managing energy consumption and emissions equivalents of a subsurface development plan includes generating a plurality of digital representations of the subsurface development plan. The subsurface development plan includes a plurality of wellbores. The method also includes determining fluid production rates from the wellbores, fluid injection rates into the wellbores, or both based upon the digital representations. The method also includes determining that the fluid production rates, the fluid injection rates, or both are within operational constraints, achieve predetermined objectives, or both. The method also includes determining the energy consumption and the emissions equivalents based upon the digital representations. The emissions equivalents correspond to the energy consumption. The method also includes generating a plurality of different subsurface development plans based upon the energy consumption, the emissions equivalents, or both.
Abstract:
A method includes training a proxy model to predict output from a reservoir model of a subterranean volume, receiving data representing an oilfield operation performed at least partially in the subterranean volume, predicting one or more performance indicators for the oilfield operation using the proxy model, and updating the reservoir model based at least in part on the one or more performance indicators predicted in the proxy model.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and program product model an oilfield asset by selecting, for each of multiple sectors of the oilfield asset, a sector model from among a collection of sector models, building a multi-resolution integrated asset model of the oilfield asset using the selected sector model for each of the sectors, and performing a computer simulation using the multi-resolution integrated asset model. The collection of sector models for each sector includes multiple sector models modeled at varying resolutions. In addition, the multi-resolution integrated asset model includes a surface network model that couples the selected sector models to one another. As such, different sectors of an oilfield asset may be modeled at varying resolutions to balance accuracy and turnaround time when performing integrated oilfield asset modeling.

Abstract:
A method for performing a field operation of a field. The method includes obtaining historical parameter values of a runtime parameter and historical core datasets, where the historical parameter values and the historical core datasets are used for a first simulation of the field, and where each historical parameter value results in a simulation convergence during the first simulation, generating a machine learning model based at least on the historical core datasets and the historical parameter values, obtaining, during a second simulation of the field, a current core dataset, generating, using the machine learning model and based on the current core dataset, a predicted parameter value of the runtime parameter for achieving the simulation convergence during the second simulation, and completing, using at least the predicted parameter value, the second simulation to generate a modeling result of the field.
