Iterative static modeling of channelized reservoirs using history-matched facies probability data and rejection of training image

Most inverse reservoir modeling techniques require many forward simulations, and the posterior models cannot preserve geological features of prior models. This study proposes an iterative static modeling approach that utilizes dynamic data for rejecting an unsuitable training image(TI) among a set of TI candidates and for synthesizing history-matched pseudo-soft data. The proposed method is applied to two cases of channelized reservoirs, which have uncertainty in channel geometry such as direction, amplitude, and width. Distance-based clustering is applied to the initial models in total to select the qualified models efficiently. The mean of the qualified models is employed as a history-matched facies probability map in the next iteration of static models. Also, the most plausible TI is determined among TI candidates by rejecting other TIs during the iteration. The posterior models of the proposed method outperform updated models of ensemble Kalman filter(EnKF) and ensemble smoother(ES) because they describe the true facies connectivity with bimodal distribution and predict oil and water production with a reasonable range of uncertainty. In terms of simulation time, it requires 30 times of forward simulation in history matching, while the EnKF and ES need 9000 times and 200 times, respectively.

An advanced workflow to compress the uncertainties of stochastic distribution of Bahariya reservoir properties using 3D static modeling:An example from Heba Oil Fields,Western Desert,Egypt

The main objective of this paper is to construct a static model that compress the uncertainties of the stochastic distribution of the reservoir properties of the Bahariya Formation in Heba field,at the northeastern portion of the Western Desert.This model has been constructed through the integration of the interpretations of the eighteen 2D seismic sections and the analysis of well logs data for four wells(HEBA 300X,E.BAH-E-1X,E.BAH-D-1X,and HEBA 10X)drilled in the study area.This set of data was implemented in a harmonic workflow.Structural framework was the first step created on the basis of the seismic and well log interpretations.Model zonation was mainly managed by the marine flooding events took place during the Cenomanian period.The trapping faults position uncertainty has been compressed through the tying of the seismic profiles with the identified fault cuts in the well data.Effective porosity spectrum was broke up into three reservoir qualities.The results showed heterogeneous facies qualities for oil production in specific five zones in the topmost part of the Bahariya Formation.The effective porosity model was generated stochastically considering the normal distribution for each reservoir quality.Water saturation was distributed by two methods;1)Sequential Gaussian Simulation that was co-simulated by porosity model.2)Log-based saturation height function for each reservoir quality.This methodology provided as accurate as possible estimates for the volume calculation by quantifying the sensitivity of the important parameters such as oil contact.Additionally,the model was prepared to be used as a front end for dynamic simulation.

Static Force-Based Modeling and Parameter Estimation for a Deformable Link Composed of Passive Spherical Joints With Preload Forces

To balance the contradiction between higher flexibility and heavier load bearing capacity,we present a novel deformable manipulator which is composed of active rigid joints and deformable links.The deformable link is composed of passive spherical joints with preload forces between socket-ball surfaces.To estimate the load bearing capacity of a deformable link,we present a static force-based model of spherical joint with preload force and analyze the static force propagation in the deformable link.This yields an important result that the load bearing capacity of a spherical joint only depends on its radius,preload force,and static friction coefficient.We further develop a parameter estimation method to estimate the product of preload force and static friction coefficient.The experimental results validate our model.80.4%of percentage errors on the maximum payload mass prediction are below 15%.

Dynamically triggered seismicity on a tectonic scale:A review

Earthquakes triggered by dynamic disturbances have been confirmed by numerous observations and experiments.In the past several decades,earthquake triggering has attracted increasing attention of scholars in relation to exploring the mechanism of earthquake triggering,earthquake prediction,and the desire to use the mechanism of earthquake triggering to reduce,prevent,or trigger earthquakes.Natural earthquakes and large‐scale explosions are the most common sources of dynamic disturbances that trigger earthquakes.In the past several decades,some models have been developed,including static,dynamic,quasi‐static,and other models.Some reviews have been published,but explosiontriggered seismicity was not included.In recent years,some new results on earthquake triggering have emerged.Therefore,this paper presents a new review to reflect the new results and include the content of explosion‐triggered earthquakes for the reference of scholars in this area.Instead of a complete review of the relevant literature,this paper primarily focuses on the main aspects of dynamic earthquake triggering on a tectonic scale and makes some suggestions on issues that need to be resolved in this area in the future.

Effect of Multipoint Heterogeneity on Nonlinear Transformations for Geological Modeling: Porosity-Permeability Relations Revisited

An analysis of statistical expected values for transformations is performed in this study to quantify the effect of heterogeneity on spatial geological modeling and evaluations. Algebraic transformations are frequently applied to data from logging to allow for the modeling of geological properties. Transformations may be powers, products, and exponential operations which are commonly used in well-known relations （e.g., porosity-permeability transforms）. The results of this study show that correct computations must account for residual transformation terms which arise due to lack of independence among heterogeneous geological properties. In the case of an exponential porosity-permeability transform, the values may be positive. This proves that a simple exponential model back-transformed from linear regression underestimates permeability. In the case of transformations involving two or more properties, residual terms may represent the contribution of heterogeneous components which occur when properties vary together, regardless of a pair-wise linear independence. A consequence of power- and product-transform models is that regression equations within those transformations need corrections via residual cumulants. A generalization of this result is that transformations of multivariate spatial attributes require multiple-point random variable relations. This analysis provides practical solutions leading to a methodology for nonlinear modeling using correct back transformations in geology.

Study on the static properties of spiral springs under static loading

Spiral springs have a wide range of applications in various fields.As a result of the complexity of friction,few theoretical analyses of spring belts under static loading have been carried out.Considering the piecewise smooth property of the whole contact area,a simplified static model of spiral springs under loading is established in this paper.Besides,three main stress and friction distribution areas of the spring belt are proposed,namely,internal,transitional,and external regions.Since the outermost side of the spring is not subject to any pressure,a recursive method is adopted from the outside to the inside.The model provides the parameter conditions,i.e.,the internal and external forces are independent or dependent.Therefore,the case that the whole contact region of the spring belt has one subregion,two subregions,and three subregions is obtained.The model gives a theoretical basis for the parameter optimization of spiral springs.

Measurement-based approach for identification of static load model of electric power system

The validity of electric power system simulation or prediction models depends on static load model. Measurement- based approach is the unique method to identify them adequately. The measured power depends on both load reaction to supply voltage alteration and random process of load alteration Basically, there is no any universal method that can single out the inherent static load model from experimental data. The paper offers a proprietary technique which is the particular solution of the task. The technique considers the selection of neighboring measurement pairs with the supply voltage altering significantly be-tween them, the exclusion of selected pairs by load power factor and subsequent selection of the inherent static load model presented as the polynomial load model. The usage of the technique to identify static load model at “Fenster” industrial enterprise （in Borisov city） is presented. The ideas considered in the paper can be used for future development of static load model identification methods with the data obtained during both active experiment and in other operating models of electric power systems.

Static Aspect of Heterogeneous Competition in Duopoly

The study gives a comparison between price policy and quantity policy in duopoly producing differentiated goods with different production costs and indicates which is more beneficial. Further, it is investigated that in a non-linear duopoly with differentiated goods and two different policies, firms may earn more profit if they choose a quantity policy in a stable economy when the marginal production cost of both the firms is the same. If the production cost of both firms is different, then the price policy is better only when the firm is efficient.

Data-driven Static Equivalence with Physics-informed Koopman Operators

With deployment of measurement units,fitting static equivalent models of distribution networks(DNs)by linear regression has been recognized as an effective method in power flow analysis of a transmission network.Increasing volatility of measurements caused by variable distributed renewable energy sources makes it more difficult to accurately fit such equivalent models.To tackle this challenge,this letter proposes a novel data-driven method to improve equivalency accuracy of DNs with distributed energy resources.This letter provides a new perspective that an equivalent model can be regarded as a mapping from internal conditions and border voltages to border power injections.Such mapping can be established through 1)Koopman operator theory,and 2)physical features of power flow equations at the root node of a DN.Performance of the proposed method is demonstrated on the IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 136-bus test systems connected to a 661-bus utility system.

Methods for Calculation of Geogenetic Depth

Some current methods for the calculation of the geogenetic depth are based on the hydrostatic model, it is induced that the depth in certain underground place is equal to the pressure divided by the specific weight of rock, on the assumption that the rock is hydrostatic and overlain by no other force but gravity. However, most of rock is in a deformation environment and non hydrostatic state, especially in an orogenic belt, so that the calculated depth may be exaggerated in comparison with the actual depth according to the hydrostatic formula. In the finite slight deformation and elastic model, the relative actual depth value from the 3 axis strain data was obtained with the measurement of strain including that of superimposed tectonic forces but excluding that of time factor for the strain. If some data on the strain speed are obtained, the depth would be more realistically calculated according to the rheological model because the geological body often experiences long term creep strains.

Microstructure homogeneity regulation of 7050 aluminum forgings by surface cumulative plastic deformation

To regulate the microstructure homogeneity of large aluminum structural forgings for aircraft,the surface cumulative plastic deformation was proposed.The microstructure of 7050 aluminum forgings after the surface cumulative plastic deformation was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results showed that the microstructure evolution of 7050 aluminum forgings was more sensitive to the deformation temperature than the strain rate.The dislocation density continued to increase with the decrease of the deformation temperature and the increase of the strain rate.Dislocation density and stored energy were accumulated by the surface cumulative plastic deformation.Besides,a static recrystallization(SRX)model of 7050 aluminum forgings was established.The SRX volume fraction calculated by this model was in good agreement with the experimental results,which indicated that the model could accurately describe the SRX behavior of 7050 aluminum forgings during the surface cumulative plastic deformation.

A mathematical model for ATP-mediated calcium dynamics in vascular endothelial cells induced by fluid shear stress

In consideration of the mechanism for shear-stress-induced Ca^2＋ influx via ATP（adenosine triphosphate）-gated ion channel P2X4 in vascular endothelial cells, a modified model is proposed to describe the shear-stress-induced Ca^2＋ influx. It is affected both by the Ca^2＋ gradient across the cell membrane and extracellular ATP concentration on the cell surface. Meanwhile, a new static ATP release model is constructed by using published experimental data. Combining the modified intracellular calcium dynamics model with the new ATP release model, we establish a nonlinear Ca^2＋ dynamic system in vascular endothelial cells. The ATP-mediated calcium response in vascular endothelial cells subjected to shear stresses is analyzed by solving the governing equations of the integrated dynamic system. Numerical results show that the shear-stress-induced calcium response predicted by the proposed model is more consistent with the experimental observations than that predicted by existing models.

The 3D static reservoir modelling provides a good understanding for the hydrocarbon reservoir distri-bution and properties.This study aimed to construct a static model to study the gas-reservoir potentiality of the Messinian Abu Madi Formation in Baltim Field,offshore Nile Delta Basin.This model was constructed based on the interpretation of the thirty-seven 2D seismic sections besides the analysis of well logs data for five drilled wells(Baltim East-2,Baltim East-3,Baltim East-5,Baltim North-1 and Baltim North-2).The seismic interpretation exposed that the Abu Madi incised valley in Baltim Field is oriented NNW-SSE with width ranges from 5 to 8 km and approximately 32 km in length.The reservoir modelling revealed a relatively homogeneous reservoir facies qualities for gas production in two different zones within the Abu Madi sandstones.The trapping mechanism for these intervals is represented by pinching out in the two sides of the Abu Madi paleo-valley and bounded by two faults in the northern and southern parts of the study area.

Establishment of a Static Model Based on Measured Heat Loss for COREX Process

The heat loss and its,distribution are of great importance for the calculation and simulation of COREX process. Based on Baosteel COREX process, a method was applied to measure the heat loss of the furnace shell, the accessory equipments and the cooling water system. Then, a static model was established based on the measured heat loss of COREX process. The results showed that the main heat loss of furnace shells took place at the dome of the COREX melter-gasifier and the reducing gas entrance position of the shaft furnace while the main heat loss caused by cooling water occurred at the tap hole area. And the heat loss caused by cooling water accounts for about 85% of the total heat loss in COREX process. The measured total heat loss for producing every 1 t hot metal was 542. 164 MJ, which accounted for about 92 % of the theoretical total heat loss.

Static performance model of GaN MESFET based on the interface state

This paper presents a new model to study the static performances of a GaN metal epitaxial-semiconductor field effect transistor（MESFET） based on the metal-semiconductor interface state of the Schottky junction.The I-V performances of MESFET under different channel lengths and different operating systems（pinch-off or not） have been achieved by our model, which strictly depended on the electrical parameters, such as the drain-gate capacity Cgd, the source-gate capacity C;, the transconductance, and the conductance. To determine the accuracy of our model, root-mean-square（RMS） errors were calculated. In the experiment, the experimental data agree with our model. Also, the minimum value of the electrical parameter has been calculated to get the maximum cut-off frequency for the GaN MESFET.

A Simplified-Syntax-Based Static Structure Model for Embedded Software Analysis

In order to solve the problem that the embedded software has the shortcoming of the platform dependence, this paper presents an embedded software analysis method based on the static structure model. Before control flow and data flow analysis, a lexical analysis/syntax analysis method with simplified grammar and sentence depth is designed to analyze the embedded software. The experiments use the open source code of smart meters as a case, and the artificial faults as the test objects, repeating 30 times. Compared with the popular static analyzing tools PC-Lint and Splint, the method can accurately orient 91% faults, which is between PC-Lint＇s 95% and Splint＇s 85%. The result indicates that the correct rate of our method is acceptable. Meanwhile, by removing the platform-dependent operation with simplified syntax analysis, our method is independent of development environment. It also shows that the method is applicable to the compiled C（including embedded software） program.
