The present invention provides a system and method capable of facilitating the efficient analysis of oilfield data utilizing at least one computer database containing a plurality of stored petroleum engineering operations. In one embodiment, stored petroleum engineering operations may include individual petroleum engineering tasks/calculations, workflows comprising multiple engineering tasks/calculations, and/or third party applications capable of analyzing at least a portion of collected oilfield data. In one embodiment, petroleum engineering operations may be proven in the field, i.e., tested and proven to be accurate under real-world oilfield conditions, prior to storage upon the database. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a graphic user interface adapted to receive customer data and identify stored engineering operations associated thereto. Identified engineering operations stored upon the database may then be displayed and executed according to user instructions and/or predefined execution arrangements.

System and method of facilitating petroleum engineering analysis

Implementations that integrate data-driven modeling and knowledge into self-improving reasoning systems and processes are described. For example, an implementation of a method may include determining at least one recommended action using a reasoning component having a data-driven modeling portion and a knowledge-based portion. Such determining includes integrating one or more determination aspects determined by the data-driven modeling portion, and one or more additional determination aspects determined by the knowledge-based portion.

Methods and systems for self-improving reasoning tools

A method for performing operations of an oilfield is described. The method involves selectively coupling oilfield simulators according to a predefined configuration, each oilfield simulator modeling at least a portion of the oilfield, a first oilfield simulator receives an oilfield control parameter as an input, identifying an uncertainty parameter associated with probable values each corresponding to a weighted probability, a second oilfield simulator receives the uncertainty parameter as an input, modeling the operations of the oilfield to generate an estimated performance by selectively communicating between the oilfield simulators, the operations of the oilfield are modeled with a predetermined value of the oilfield control parameter and at least one of the probable values of the uncertainty parameter; and identifying an optimal value of the oilfield control parameter based on the estimated performance.

System and method for performing oilfield simulation operations

One or more computer-readable media include computer-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to receive simulation results for future behavior of a reservoir that includes a material production well and a fluid injection site; define a virtual sensor as being located between the material production well and the fluid injection site; determine fluid saturation at the virtual sensor based at least in part on the simulation results; and issue a notification if the fluid saturation at the virtual sensor exceeds a fluid saturation limit. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
