A method and system for locating one or more bed boundaries. A method for locating one or more bed boundaries may include disposing a downhole tool into a wellbore, measuring wellbore wall resistivity with the downhole tool, extracting a vertical voltage measurement, deconvolving the vertical voltage measurement with an impulse response an apparent resistivity, and calculating a derivative of the apparent resistivity and finding one or more peaks of the derivative to determine the locations of the one or more bed boundaries. A well measurement system for locating one or more bed boundaries may include a downhole tool. The downhole tool may include a pad, an arm, a receiver disposed on the pad, and a transmitter disposed on the pad.

A method of imaging an object includes generating a plurality of mono-frequency waveforms and applying the plurality of mono-frequency waveforms to the object to be modeled. In addition, sparse mono-frequency data is recorded in response to the plurality of mono-frequency waveforms applied to the object to be modeled. The sparse mono-frequency data is cross-correlated with one or more source functions each having a frequency approximately equal to each of the plurality of mono-frequency waveforms to obtain monochromatic frequency data. The monochromatic frequency data is utilized in an inversion to converge a model to a minimum value.

An example method can comprise defining a plurality of subsurface scenarios and discretizing a decision space to determine a plurality of distinct decision scenarios. The subsurface scenarios can be sparsely sampled to determine a candidate subset of the plurality of subsurface scenarios. Each of the candidate subset of the plurality of subsurface scenarios can be associated with a respective one of the plurality of distinct decision scenarios. Each of the plurality of distinct decision scenarios can be modelled based on each of the candidate subset of the plurality of subsurface scenarios to determine risk and reward values for each of the plurality of distinct decision scenarios.

A system and method of monitoring a field includes obtaining field data for an injector well coupled to a reservoir; obtaining a model comprising representations of at least one of the wells and/or the reservoir; updating the model with the field data for the injector well; and assessing a status (e.g., injector health assessment) of the injector well based on the field data and the model. A system and method of reservoir management includes solving an optimization problem based on unconstrained injection allocation target rates for one or more injector wells and weightings dependent upon relative travel times between injector-producer well pairs, each injector-producer well pairs comprising one of the injector wells; determining injection allocation targets based on the solution of the optimization problem; designing a production optimization strategy based on the injection allocation targets.

Embodiments provide methods and systems for modeling the flow of fluid in variable physical and geological environments using dynamically determined Navier-Stokes equations (NSE), such as Darcy Flow and Poiseuille flow.

Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for optimizing the placement of wells in a reservoir. Embodiments include, for example, determining for a reservoir a layer productivity index for coordinates of a reservoir using reservoir metrics and specified well spacings associated with the reservoir, determining a total dynamic productivity index for the coordinates based on the layer productivity index, and determining placement of one or more wells responsive to the total dynamic productivity index and defined spacing between the one or more wells. Embodiments further include, for example, generating a production analysis report for the reservoir that includes an assessment of well placement and generating a wells placement map using one or more total dynamic productivity index indicators.

The present technology measures memorability of multimedia messages by users. A 10-20 electrode system is installed on the head of a user and reference electrodes are installed on each earlobe or mastoid of the user. A multimedia message is presented to the user and, concurrently, a brain activity index of the user is recorded using the 10-20 electrode system and the reference electrodes. A memorability of the multimedia message by the user is evaluated based on the recorded brain activity. This evaluation may include a determination of a leads entropy measured using a first electrode of the 10-20 electrode system along with the reference electrodes, and a determination of coherence leads determined based on various pairs of electrodes of the 10-20 electrode system along with the reference electrodes.
