Simulation models are commonly used as an aid to decision making for oilfield development and operations. Such models represent information uncertainty and alternate operational strategies and form a design space, which is used by engineers to explore different “what-if” scenarios. As the composition of the engineering team changes over the lifetime of the oilfield and new modeling requirements...

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...

The objective of this paper is to present a unified modeling framework to address the issues of uncertainty and complex fiscal rules in the development planning of offshore oil and gas fields which involve critical investment and operational decisions. In particular, the paper emphasizes the need to have as a basis an efficient deterministic model that can account for various alternatives in th...

Engineering development activities rely on computer-based models, which enclose technical data issued from different sources. In this heterogeneous context, retrieving, re-using and merging information is a challenge. We propose to annotate engineering models with concepts of domain ontologies, which provide data with explicit semantics. The semantic annotation makes it possible to formulate qu...

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have been widely used in industry applications. Due to their application specific nature, most SCADA systems are heavily tailored to their specific applications. For example, a remote terminal unit (RTU) that monitors and controls a production well in an oilfield is only connected with a few sensors at the well it resides. The RTU usually...

Determining injector-producer relationships, i.e., to quantify the inter-well connectivity between injectors and producers in a reservoir, is a complex and non-stationary problem. In this paper, we present a neural-network-based sensitivity analysis approach to address this problem. To the best of our knowledge, sensitivity analysis has never been applied for identification of the injector-prod...

The Carboniferous Karashayi Formation in Tahe Oilfield is one of the most promising formations field clastic rocks Oilfield, which rich hydrocarbon resources, but stratigraphic framework unclear, restricts exploration formation. features and seismic section analysis area combined with oil gas distribution are used to analyze reservoir control factors Formation. results show that lower part sedi...

Oilfield chemicals are utilized in treating reservoir formations, wellbore completions, drilling, and to enhance productivity, which exerts pressure on the formation. Pressure from these processes cause formation rock weaken, weakened begins detach, thereby producing sand as well fluid (petroleum). In petroleum industry, sanding poses major challenges with significant financial consequences. Th...
