A computer-implemented method is provided for processing gross depositional environment (GDE) maps. The method includes receiving end-member lowstand systems tract (LST) and maximum flood surface (MFS) gross depositional environment (GDE) maps that represent a particular geographic area at different respective times spaced by a time interval, processing both of the LST and MFS GDE maps in accordance with a predefined set of mles that use geoprocessing operations to relate the content of both the LST and MFS GDE maps, and outputting a transgressive system tract (TST) map based on the processing.

A computer system and method for determining subterranean rock composition is described in which user input data is received having a plurality of parameters defining a desired subterranean rock composition from a wellbore. Data associated with at least one geologic environment is received, which data contains data acquired from at least one wellbore. An analytical analysis is then conducted by a computer processor utilizing the user input data and the received geologic environment data to determine a match between the user desired subterranean rock composition and the received geologic environment data. Output graphic data is then determined and generated, based at least in part on the analytical analysis, on a computer graphical display consisting of a two-dimensional (2D) graphical representation indicating a region of the geologic environment having a match between the user desired subterranean rock composition and the received geologic environment data.

A drilling interpretation and volumes estimator (DRIVER) system may be provided. The DRIVER system may help facilitate a cost-effective discovery of patterns in mineral exploration drilling data that a mining company may not have the human or computer resources to look for. The DRIVER system may be able to reason with those patterns against previously-documented knowledge and may produce conclusions of value to a user, such as a mining professional.

A simulation system for an in-situ column experiment in a groundwater well and a simulation method are provided. The simulation system includes: an experimental column device, a sample taking device, and a sample injection device, where solid remediation agent and/or aquifer sediment are provided within the experimental column device, and is configured to be capable of being arranged in an experimental well and located below a water level; a bottom of the experimental column device is provided with a water inlet, and a top of the experimental column device is provided with a water outlet, where the top water outlet connects to the sample taking device, and the bottom water inlet connects to the sample injection device.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a well analog recommendation system. The well analog recommendation system may generate numerical representations indicative of text-based descriptions within a well report and/or well log associated with a well. Further, the well analog recommendation system may generate a well analog output that may include one or more text-based characterizations associated with one or more additional wells that are determined based on the numerical representation. For example, the well analog recommendation system may compare the numerical representation of the well to one or more numerical representations associated with the one or more additional wells and output the one or more text-based characterizations when the numerical representations are approximately equal or above a threshold.

Data objects of a geospatial data set are arranged in a low-discrepancy sequence spanning over a pre-defined interval, and assigned to N computing units based on in which sub-interval within the pre-defined interval the point, to which the data object belongs, falls. A subset of the data objects that have been distributed over the N computing units is subjected to processing operations by computer readable instructions loaded on each of the N computing units.

A method is claimed that includes obtaining a measured present-day value of at least one parameter for each member of a set of unvalidated geological layers arranged in order of increasing depth and iteratively selecting a member of the set as a current layer. For each current layer in turn, the method further determines an estimated archaic value of at least one parameter of the current layer based on its measured present-day value by applying an alternating cycle of decompaction followed by geomechnical modeling to predict a present-day value of the parameter of the current layer based on its estimated archaic value. The method still further determines a validated archaic value of at least one parameter of each current layer based on a difference between the predicted and the measured present-day values. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for validating the archaic value for each layer is claimed.
