Autonomous operations in oil and gas fields

This invention describes a computer method for managing oil and gas fields. It works by taking a geological model of a resource site, which includes uncertain data, and then running simulations to predict how uncertain future outcomes might be for specific operational goals. Based on these predictions, the system identifies the best operational service to reduce that uncertainty and presents this information visually to a user.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI for complex simulations and optimization. Modern machine learning techniques could now significantly improve the accuracy and speed of identifying optimal services to minimize uncertainty in geological models, making the system more efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, geological modeling, simulation algorithms
