A system for broad area geospatial object recognition, identification, classification, location and quantification, comprising an image manipulation module to create synthetically-generated images to imitate and augment an existing quantity of orthorectified geospatial images; together with a deep learning module and a convolutional neural network serving as an image analysis module, to analyze a large corpus of orthorectified geospatial images, identify and demarcate a searched object of interest from within the corpus, locate and quantify the identified or classified objects from the corpus of geospatial imagery available to the system. The system reports results in a requestor's preferred format.

Synthesizing training data for broad area geospatial object detection

The system incorporates conical screens spaced along the producing tubing as mixing means to reduce the separation of gas and oil and enhances the lifting power of the gas. Supplemental lift devices are provided for non-flowing wells. The lift devices incorporate check valves in conjunction with the mixing means to lift the oil in stages. Motive power is provided by one or more jet pumps positioned in the producing zone and at vertically spaced points along the producing tubing.

Gas drive oil well pumping system having mixing means for the gas/oil

A system utilizing intermittent build-up and bleeding of gas pressure in the annulus between the casing and tubing in an oil well with an inert gas interface between the gas and the producing fluid. The well is equipped with a down hole packer, inlet aperture above the packer through the tubing, and check valves above and below the packer and aperture. The system is sequentially operated by successively injecting the gas into the annulus forcing oil fluids through the aperture and up the tubing, and then bleeding the gas pressure, allowing the fluid to pass back into the annulus to the extent of the bottom hole pressure, while maintaining the necessary pressure on the formation. The cross section of the tubing is substantially smaller than the cross section of the annulus volume, thus a multiplying occurs in lifting the fluid in the tubing.
