Accelerated technological progresses offer massive amounts of data, prompting decision making for any asset to be more complicated and challenging than before. Data-driven modelling has gained popularity among petroleum engineering professionals by turning big data into valuable insights that introduces fast and reliable decision making. In this study, a viscosifying polymer flooding performance-forecasting tool is developed using an artificial neural network-based data-driven model. A wide variety of reservoir and operational scenarios are generated to inclusively cover possible conditions of the process. Each scenario goes through no injection, water-only flooding, polymer followed by waterflooding and polymer-only flooding schemes. Neural network models were trained with three representative performance indicators derived from simulator outputs; efficiency, water-cut and recovery factor. Practicality of the tool in assessing probabilistic and deterministic predictions is demonstrated with a real polymer-flooding case of Daqing Oil Field.

A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
A deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils Duru, Cihat; Alemdar, Hande; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2022-01-01) Learning from data offers new opportunities for developing computational methods in research fields, such as fluid dynamics, which constantly accumulate a large amount of data. This study presents a deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils. The physics of transonic flow is integrated into the neural network model by utilizing Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations. A detailed investigation on the performance of the model is made both qualitatively and quant...

A Numerical Approach to Simulating Oxidation in Thermal Barrier Coatings Saeidi, Farid; Gürses, Ercan; Aslan, Özgür (Elsevier, Elsevier, 2020-01-01) Computational analysis and simulation of multi-physics phenomena taking place in coating systems is still a challenging task. Specifically, for ceramic coatings used as a system of protection for base materials against elevated temperatures, known as thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, construction of continuum level models which can express coupled nonlinear phenomena has attracted great attention. Thermal stresses, oxidation, creep and numerous other mechanisms and phenomena makes it even harder to mod...
A case study in weather pattern searching using a spatial data warehouse model Köylü, Çağlar; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2008) Data warehousing and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) technology has been used to access, visualize and analyze multidimensional, aggregated, and summarized data. Large part of data contains spatial components. Thus, these spatial components convey valuable information and must be included in exploration and analysis phases of a spatial decision support system (SDSS). On the other hand, Geographic Information Systems (GISs) provide a wide range of tools to analyze spatial phenomena and therefore must be ...
