Latest Patents

Sina holds a patent for a method of waterflood management of production wells. This patent, titled "Waterflood management of production wells," outlines a sophisticated method for managing waterflooding in reservoirs that contain hydrocarbon-producing wells. The invention involves a reservoir model with parameters that mathematically relate the water injection rate to the total production rate of the production well. This includes both hydrocarbon and water production rates. A solver is utilized to implement automatic differentiation, using training data that encompasses operational data, including recent sensor and historical data. The solver effectively identifies values or distributions for the model parameters, resulting in a trained reservoir model that can predict total production rates based on water injection schedules.
