Hybrid 3D geocellular grids are generated to represent a subset of a natural fracture network (“NFN”) directly in the simulation, while the remainder of the NFN is approximated by a multi-continuum formulation. The resulting output is a 3D geocellular grid that possesses a higher level of mesh resolution in those areas surrounding the first fracture subsets, and lower mesh resolution in the areas of the second fracture subset.

The present invention relates to a method for determining hydrocarbon production for a reservoir. The method comprises determining a projector matrix based on a Jacobian matrix function of the gridded model, then splitting the Jacobian matrix into subsets of consecutive lines. For each subset of consecutive lines, creating a respective square matrix based on said subset. A determining eigenvectors and respective eigenvalues associated with the respective square matrix and then determining relevant eigenvectors having respective eigenvalues below a predetermined threshold. The projector is determined as a concatenation of the extended eigenvectors ordered according to multiple criteria: the respective order value of the subset; and the respective eigenvalue of the relevant eigenvector.

A sonic tool is activated in a well having multiple casings and annuli surrounding the casing. Detected data is preprocessed using slowness time coherence (STC) processing to obtain STC data. The STC data is provided to a machine learning module which has been trained on labeled STC data. The machine learning module provides an answer product regarding the states of the borehole annuli which may be used to make decision regarding remedial action with respect to the borehole casings. The machine learning module may implement a convolutional neural network (CNN), a support vector machine (SVM), or an auto-encoder.

A distributed acoustic system may comprise an interrogator which includes a single photon detector, an umbilical line comprising a first fiber optic cable and a second fiber optic cable attached at one end to the interrogator, and a downhole fiber attached to the umbilical line at the end opposite the interrogator. A method for optimizing a sampling frequency may comprise identifying a length of a fiber optic cable connected to an interrogator, identifying one or more regions on the fiber optic cable in which a backscatter is received, and optimizing a sampling frequency of a distributed acoustic system by identifying a minimum time interval that is between an emission of a light pulse such that at no point in time the backscatter arrives back at the interrogator that corresponds to more than one spatial location along a sensing portion of the fiber optic cable.

A logging system and method for operating a logging system are typically used in a wellbore. The logging system may include a logging instrument including a rechargeable energy storage and logging electronics, and a cable configured to trickle charge the rechargeable energy storage. The rechargeable energy storage may include an ultracapacitor. The rechargeable energy storage may be trickle charged through the cable from a remote power source.
