    摘要: A method, computer program product, and computing system are provided for receiving reservoir data associated with the reservoir. A simulation may be performed on the reservoir data to generate simulated reservoir data. A subset of realizations including a minimal number of realizations from a plurality of realizations may be determined based upon, at least in part, one or more statistical moments of the simulated reservoir data. An optimized reservoir model associated with an objective may be generated based upon, at least in part, the subset of realizations including the minimal number of realizations.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for controlling gas lift in at least one production well, which determine a quadratic function that relates flow rate or value of oil produced from a production well to gas flow rate for gas injected into the production well based on flow rate measurements for gas injected into the production well and corresponding flow rate measurements of oil produced from the production well. The quadratic function is used to determine an optimal flow rate for gas injected into the production well. The optimal flow rate for gas injected into the production well is used to control the flow rate of gas injected into the production well, and an oil flow rate produced from the production well is measured at the optimal gas flow rate for iterative processing to refine the quadratic function and determination of optimal gas flow rate if need be.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and program product perform lift optimization in a field with a plurality of wells, with each well including an artificial lift mechanism controlled by an associated well controller. In a central controller, a network simulation model functioning as a proxy of the field is accessed to determine an optimal allocation solution for the field, and a well-specific control signal is generated for each of the plurality of wells based upon the determined optimal allocation solution. The well-specific control signal for each of the plurality of wells is communicated to the associated well controller to cause the associated well controller to control a lift parameter associated with the artificial lift mechanism for the well.

    摘要: A method can include receiving a number of samples of liquid production values and associated gas-lift injection rates for one of one or more wells; determining a prospective optimal gas-lift injection rate for the one of the one or more wells via a regression that fits the number of samples; responsive to the prospective optimal gas-lift injection rate satisfying one or more gas-lift injection rate criteria, issuing an instruction to implement the prospective optimal gas-lift injection rate for the one of the one or more wells; receiving a new sample as a measured liquid production value for the implemented prospective optimal gas-lift injection rate and responsive to satisfaction of one or more compliance criteria; and replacing one of the number of samples with the new sample.

    摘要: A physical pipeline network is decomposed into multiple subnetworks. The subnetworks include upstream subnetworks and at least one downstream subnetwork. A network solver is executed on the upstream subnetworks in parallel to obtain a set of boundary conditions and a set of control device settings. The set of boundary conditions and a set of control device settings are then used to execute the network solver on the downstream subnetwork and obtain a result having another set of control device settings. The network solver may repeat executions until convergence is achieved. When convergence is achieved, the result is presented.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for fugitive emission detection. In some embodiments, the method can include planning and performing aerial inspections of a plurality of structures within one or more facilities by determining a flight path for a scanning of fugitive emissions from a plurality of structures within one or more facilities. The flight path can cover a set of structure clusters that can be serviced by a base. The method can also include using a computer-implemented clustering method to identify the set of structure clusters that can be serviced by the respective base. The clustering method can be a hierarchical multilevel clustering method. The method can also include scanning the plurality of structures for fugitive emissions using an airborne sensor. The airborne sensor can be mounted to a flight vehicle launched from the base. The method can also include classifying the plurality of structures based on results of the scanning.
