This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 201696, “Robust Data-Driven Well-Performance Optimization Assisted by Machine-Learning Techniques for Natural-Flowing and Gas-Lift Wells in Abu Dhabi,” by Iman Al Selaiti, Carlos Mata, SPE, and Luigi Saputelli, SPE, ADNOC, et al., prepared for the 2020 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, originally scheduled to be held in Denver, Colorado, 5–7 October. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Despite being proven to be a cost-effective surveillance initiative, remote monitoring is still not adopted in more than 60% of oil and gas fields around the world. Understanding the value of data through machine-learning (ML) techniques is the basis for establishing a robust surveillance strategy. In the complete paper, the authors develop a data-driven approach, enabled by artificial-intelligence methodologies including ML, to find an optimal operating envelope for gas-lift wells. Real-Time Well-Performance Optimization Wellsite Measurement and Control. - Flow Tests. - Past tests include sporadic measurement of multiphase rates and the associated flowing pressure and temperature, collected at various points of the production system, from bottomhole to separator conditions. Flow tests are also known as well tests; however, the authors use the term “flow test” in this paper to avoid confusion with well testing as used in pressure transient tests, including temporary shut-in pressure buildups (for producers) and pressure falloff tests (for injectors). Normally, a well would have limited data points from the past well tests (i.e., less than 50 valid flow tests in a period of 5–10 years). This data is the basis of creating ML models. Continuous Monitoring. - Every well should have adequate instrumentation, and its supporting infrastructure should include reliable power supply, minimum latency telemetry, and desktop access to production parameters. Alignment among real-time data and relational databases is required. Remote Control and Automated Actuation. - In addition to controllable valves, every well should be enabled with actuators to control the process variables. Remote control allows the operator to make changes to the current well-site configuration. Regulatory and Supervisory Control. - The value of automated closed-loop regulatory and supervisory control is to sustain optimal production while providing high well availability. Real-Time Production Optimization. - Continuous production optimization means that expected performance is challenged frequently by updating an optimal forecast with upper-level targets and current asset status. This is achieved by applying actions that close the gap between actual and expected performance. Faster surveillance loops compare actual vs. expected performance to determine minute, hourly, and daily gaps. A slower surveillance loop updates the asset’s expected performance. Well-Management Guidelines. - These are established, known limits to address and honor restrictions such as concession-contract obligations and legal limits, optimal reservoir management, flow assurance, economics, safety, and integrity.

Improve Accuracy

Adverse interactions between police and the public hurt police legitimacy, cause harm to both officers and the public, and result in costly litigation. Early intervention systems (EISs) that flag officers considered most likely to be involved in one of these adverse events are an important tool for police supervision and for targeting interventions such as counseling or training. However, the EISs that exist are not data-driven and based on supervisor intuition. We have developed a data-driven EIS that uses a diverse set of data sources from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and machine learning techniques to more accurately predict the officers who will have an adverse event. Our approach is able to significantly improve accuracy compared with their existing EIS: Preliminary results indicate a 20% reduction in false positives and a 75% increase in true positives.

As the number of satellite launches increases each year, it is only natural that an interest in the safety and monitoring of these systems would increase as well. However, as a system becomes more complex, generating a high-fidelity model that accurately describes the system becomes complicated. Therefore, imploring a data-driven method can provide to be more beneficial for such applications. This research proposes a novel approach for data-driven machine learning techniques on the detection and isolation of nonlinear systems, with a case-study for an in-orbit closed loop-controlled satellite with reaction wheels as actuators. High-fidelity models of the 3-axis controlled satellite are employed to generate data for both nominal and faulty conditions of the reaction wheels. The generated simulation data is used as input for the isolation method, after which the data is pre-processed through feature extraction from a temporal, statistical, and spectral domain. The pre-processed features are then fed into various machine learning classifiers. Isolation results are validated with cross-validation, and model parameters are tuned using hyperparameter optimization. To validate the robustness of the proposed method, it is tested on three characterized datasets and three reaction wheel configurations, including standard four-wheel, three-orthogonal, and pyramid. The results prove superior performance isolation accuracy for the system under study compared to previous studies using alternative methods (Rahimi & Saadat, 2019, 2020).

One of the major challenges confronting the widespread adoption of solar energy is the uncertainty of production. The energy generated by photo-voltaic systems is a function of the received solar irradiance which varies due to atmospheric and weather conditions. A key component required for forecasting irradiance accurately is the clear sky model which estimates the average irradiance at a location at a given time in the absence of clouds. Current methods for modelling clear sky irradiance are either inaccurate or require extensive atmospheric data, which tends to vary with location and is often unavailable. In this paper, we present a data-driven methodology, Blue Skies, for modelling clear sky irradiance solely based on historical irradiance measurements. Using machine learning techniques, Blue Skies is able to generate clear sky models that are more accurate spatio-temporally compared to the state of the art, reducing errors by almost 50%.
