Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Model selection from a large ensemble of models." This invention discloses a method, system, and processor-readable medium containing computer-readable software instructions for selecting representative models from a large ensemble of models. The invention provides an ensemble of reservoir models that define an input uncertainty space. It allows for the input of a target number of representative models and one or more target percentiles of output variables that the representative models are to approximate. The representative models from the ensemble that match the target percentiles are selected while maximizing the spread between the selected models in the input uncertainty space.
Another notable patent is the "System and method for use in simulating a subterranean reservoir." This computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product are designed for updating simulation models of a subterranean reservoir. It provides an ensemble of reservoir models representing a subterranean reservoir with non-Gaussian characteristics. The ensemble is updated using a subspace ensemble Kalman filter, and either Kemal principle component analysis parameterization or K-L expansion parameterization can be employed for this purpose.
