Abstract:
System includes one or more processors that are configured to perform iterations of the following until a predetermined condition is satisfied. The one or more processors are configured to select a modified trial schedule. The modified trial schedule is selected based on initial fluid-extraction data and initial trial schedules and, if available, prior modified trial schedules and prior modified fluid-extraction data from prior iterations. The one or more processors are configured to receive modified fluid-extraction data generated by execution of the modified trial schedule with a designated model of the reservoir. The one or more processors are also configured to update the surrogate model with the modified fluid-extraction data and the modified trial schedule. For at least a plurality of the iterations, the modified trial schedule is selected, at least in part, to reduce uncertainty in a sample space as characterized by the surrogate model.
Abstract:
A system and method for extracting a resource from a reservoir repeatedly alternates between injecting a fluid and injecting a gas into the reservoir. A rate and/or an amount of each of the fluid and the gas that is injected into the reservoir is defined by a first fluid-and-gas ratio function that designates different ratios as a function of time. The ratios designate the rate and/or the amount of the fluid that is injected into the reservoir to the rate and/or the amount of the gas that is injected into the reservoir. The rate and/or the amount at which the fluid and/or the gas is injected into the reservoir is changed according to the ratios designated by the first fluid-and-gas ratio function as time progresses.

Abstract:
Briefly, embodiments are directed to a system, method, and article for acquiring a symbol comprising a representation of input data. The symbol may be converted into an emergent language expression in an emergent language via processing of a first neural network. Transmission of the emergent language expression may be initiated over a communications network, where the emergent language comprises a language based on and specific to the input data. The emergent language expression may be translated back into the representation of the input data via processing of a second neural network.
Abstract:
A system includes a schedule generator having one or more processors configured to obtain resource extraction parameters for extracting a resource from a reservoir. The resource extraction parameters include well creation parameters associated with drilling wellbores, well stimulation parameters associated with introducing fracturing fluid into the wellbores, and production parameters associated with extracting the resource through the wellbores. The schedule generator selects initial trial schedules having different values of the resource extraction parameters and receives initial resource output data generated by execution of the initial trial schedules with a designated reservoir model. The schedule generator generates a surrogate model based on the initial resource output data and the initial trial schedules and uses the surrogate model to perform iterations of selecting modified trial schedules until a predetermined condition is satisfied.

The system and method disclosed herein provides an integrated and automated workflow, sensor, and reasoning system that automatically detects breaches in protocols, appropriately alarms and records these breaches, facilitates staff adoption of protocol adherence, and ultimately enables the study of protocols for care comparative effectiveness. The system provides real-time alerts to medical personnel in the actual processes of care, thereby reducing the number of negative patient events and ultimately improving staff behavior with respect to protocol adherence.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a method of calculating end-of-life (EOL) predictions for a physical asset is provided. A state-space model for the physical asset is obtained, the state-space model being a physics-based model describing a state of the physical asset at a particular time given measurements or observations for the physical asset. Then a current state of the physical asset is inferred. Then a long-term prediction is derived for the physical asset based on the inferred current state of the physical asset and the state-space model for the physical asset. Then an EOL probability distribution function is generated for the physical asset based on the long-term prediction, the EOL probability distribution function describing a range of estimates of EOL for the physical asset and their corresponding confidence intervals.
