SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL POWER IN AN ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE OPERATION
Systems and methods for generating and a controller for controlling generation of geothermal power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to thereby supply electrical power to one or more of in-field operational equipment, a grid power structure, and an energy storage device. In an embodiment, during hydrocarbon production, a temperature of a flow of heated fluid from a source or working fluid may be determined. If the temperature is above a vaporous phase change threshold of the working fluid, heat exchanger valves may be opened to divert flow of heated fluid to heat exchangers to facilitate heat transfer from the flow of wellhead fluid to working fluid through the heat exchangers, thereby to cause the working fluid to change from a liquid to vapor, the vapor to cause a generator to generate electrical power via rotation of an expander.
System and method for well interference detection and prediction
Systems and methods for generating an interference prediction for a target well are disclosed herein. A computing system generates a plurality of interference metrics for a plurality of interference events. For each well, the computing system generates a graph based representation of the well and its neighboring wells. The computing system generates a predictive model using a graph-based model by generating a training data set and learning, by the graph-based model, an interference value for each interference event based on the training data set. The computing system receives, from a client device, a request to generate an interference prediction for a target well. The computing system generates, via the predictive model, an interference metric based on the one or more metrics associated with the target well.

Determination of stimulated reservoir volume and estimated ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons for unconventional reservoirs
A method for determining SRV and EUR includes: monitoring an amount and a density of a hydrocarbon fluid produced from the production well; obtaining a cumulative amount of the fluid that has accumulated from a beginning of production; obtaining a relationship between the cumulative amount and a square root of the time; determining a deviation point where the relationship changes from linear to non-linear; determining a deviation amount of the fluid corresponding to the deviation point; determining a first density of the hydrocarbon fluid at the beginning of production, a second density at a pore pressure equal to a bottom hole pressure in the production well, a first porosity at the beginning of production, and a second porosity for a pore pressure equal to the bottom hole pressure; and determining SRV and the EUR based on the deviation amount, the first and second densities, and the first and second porosities.

WATER INVASION-ORIENTED DYNAMIC PRODUCTION ALLOCATION METHOD FOR WATER-BEARING CARBONATITE GAS RESERVOIR
The present disclosure provides a water invasion-oriented dynamic production allocation method for a water-bearing carbonatite gas reservoir, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development. The problem that water breakthrough of a single well is too early due to uneven water invasion of an existing water-bearing carbonatite gas reservoir is solved. According to the technical scheme, on the basis of an original gas well production allocation scheme of a water-bearing carbonatite gas reservoir, the average water invasion rate of the reservoir is calculated as a stability reference of water invasion rates throughout the production period. A new water invasion-oriented production allocation method is designed from two aspects of stability of water invasion and uniformity of water invasion driving; and meanwhile, a reasonable production allocation range is predicted through a traditional deliverability equation, and a water invasion-oriented dynamic production allocation mathematical model is established.
