For Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) projects, injecting CO<span>(_2)</span> under supercritical conditions is typically tens of degrees colder than the reservoir temperature. Thermal effects can have a significant impact on the simulation results, but they also add many challenges for the solvers. More specifically, the usual combination of an iterative linear solver (such as GMRES) and the Constrained Pressure Residual (CPR) physics-based block-preconditioner is known to perform rather poorly or fail to converge when thermal effects play a significant role. The Constrained Pressure-Temperature Residual (CPTR) preconditioner retains the <span>(2times 2)</span> block structure (elliptic/hyperbolic) of CPR but includes the temperature in the elliptic subsystem. Doing so allows the solver to appropriately handle the long-range, elliptic part of the parabolic energy equation. The elliptic subsystem is now formed by two equations, and is dealt with by the system-solver of BoomerAMG (from the HYPRE library). Then a global smoother, ILU(0), is applied to the full system to handle the local, hyperbolic temperature fronts. We implemented CPTR in the multi-physics solver GEOS and present results on various large-scale thermal CCS simulation cases, including both Cartesian and fully unstructured meshes, up to tens of millions of degrees of freedom. The CPTR preconditioner severely reduces the number of GMRES iterations and the runtime, with cases timing out in 24h with CPR now requiring a few hours with CPTR. We present strong scaling results using hundreds of CPU cores for multiple cases, and show close to linear scaling. CPTR is also virtually insensitive to the thermal Péclet number (which compares advection and diffusion effects) and is suitable to any thermal regime.</p>","PeriodicalId":10662,"journal":{"name":"Computational Geosciences","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140829198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a solution, appropriate optimization algorithms selection and tuning may provide good solutions with lesser simulations. This paper presents a methodology to calibrate, develop, and select optimization algorithms for oil production strategy applications while quantifying the dimension and optimum location effects. Global optimum location altered the best method to be selected. It presents a novel algorithm (ASLHC) and a modification of the Nelder-Mead method (NMNS) to improve its high dimensionality performance. Performances of six pre-calibrated techniques were compared using novel normalized mathematical functions. Optimizations were limited to a 500 evaluation functions computational budget. The PSO, ASLHC, NMNS, and IDLHC were selected and implemented to perform production strategy improvements regarding two parameterizations of the reservoir management variables for a real reservoir model with restricted platform. Results showed the implemented algorithms successfully improved NPV by at least 8% at each of the 24 real-case optimizations.

To mitigate this problem, we introduced a new selection method that retains the best features of explored models, with an extinction procedure that increases the exploration of the model space through the principle of self-organized criticality. We test the performance of the modified genetic algorithm technique by applying it to the inversion of synthetically generated receiver functions for crustal velocity structure and comparing the results with those obtained using a standard genetic algorithm. The test cases involve using 2 different objective functions, based on the L2 norm and cosine similarity, with 2 different model parameterizations of different model sizes. The results show that our modified genetic algorithm improves the inversion process by consistently obtaining best models with the lowest misfit values and a distribution of best models with less deviations from the true model values.

Recently, the use of deep learning (DL) for image analysis has increased compared to commonly used machine learning (ML) methods. This paper compares the performance of four algorithms, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Convolutional Network (CNN), using multi-source data, applying an exhaustive optimisation process of the hyperparameters. The usual approach in the optimisation process of a LULC classification model is to keep the best model in terms of accuracy without analysing the rest of the results. In this study, we have analysed such results, discovering noteworthy patterns in a space defined by the mean and standard deviation of the validation accuracy estimated in a 10-fold cross validation (CV). The point distributions in such a space do not appear to be completely random, but show clusters of points that facilitate the discovery of hyperparameter values that tend to increase the mean accuracy and decrease its standard deviation. RF is not the most accurate model, but it is the less sensitive to changes in hyperparameters. Neural Networks, tend to increase commission and omission errors of the less represented classes because their optimisation lead the model to learn better the most frequent classes. On the other hand, RF and MLP prediction layers are the most accurate from a general qualitative point of view.</p>","PeriodicalId":10662,"journal":{"name":"Computational Geosciences","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fortunately, recent research shows that most of the flow and transport occurs within a small backbone in the network, and identifying the backbone to replace the original network can greatly reduce computational consumption. However, the existing machine learning based methods mainly focus on the features of the fracture itself to evaluate the importance of the fracture, the local structural information of the fracture network is not fully utilized. More importantly, these machine learning methods can neither control the identified backbone’s size nor ensure the backbone’s connectivity. To solve these problems, a deep learning model named multi-aggregator graph neural network (MA-GNN) is proposed for identifying the backbone of discrete fracture networks. Briefly, MA-GNN uses multiple aggregators to aggregate neighbors’ structural features and thus generates an inductive embedding to evaluate the criticality score of each node in the entire fracture network. Then, a greedy algorithm, which can control the backbone’s size and connectivity, is proposed to identify the backbone based on the criticality score. Experimental results demonstrate that the backbone identified by MA-GNN can recover the transport characteristics of the original network, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines. In addition, MA-GNN can identify influential fractures with higher Kendall’s <span>(tau )</span> correlation coefficient and Jaccard similarity coefficient. With the ability of size control, our proposed MA-GNN can provide an effective balance between accuracy and computational efficiency by choosing a suitable backbone size.</p>","PeriodicalId":10662,"journal":{"name":"Computational Geosciences","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large data volume is enhanced by the large number of necessary features derived from the imposition of various features derived from physical, engineering, and geological inputs, constraints that may invoke the curse of dimensionality. Existing dimensionality reduction (DR) methods are either linear or nonlinear; however, for subsurface datasets, nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NDR) methods are most applicable due to data complexity. Metric-multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a suitable NDR method that retains the data's intrinsic structure and could quantify uncertainty space. However, like other NDR methods, MDS is limited by its inability to achieve a stabilized unique solution of the low dimensional space (LDS) invariant to Euclidean transformations and has no extension for inclusions of out-of-sample points (OOSP). To support subsurface inferential workflows, it is imperative to transform these datasets into meaningful, stable representations of reduced dimensionality that permit OOSP without model recalculation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We propose using rigid transformations to obtain a unique solution of stabilized Euclidean invariant representation for LDS. First, compute a dissimilarity matrix as the MDS input using a distance metric to obtain the LDS for &lt;span&gt;(N)&lt;/span&gt;-samples and repeat for multiple realizations. Then, select the base case and perform a rigid transformation on further realizations to obtain rotation and translation matrices that enforce Euclidean transformation invariance under ensemble expectation. The expected stabilized solution identifies anchor positions using a convex hull algorithm compared to the &lt;span&gt;(N+1)&lt;/span&gt; case from prior matrices to obtain a stabilized representation consisting of the OOSP. Next, the loss function and normalized stress are computed via distances between samples in the high-dimensional space and LDS to quantify and visualize distortion in a 2-D registration problem. To test our proposed workflow, a different sample size experiment is conducted for Euclidean and Manhattan distance metrics as the MDS dissimilarity matrix inputs for a synthetic dataset.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The workflow is also demonstrated using wells from the Duvernay Formation and OOSP with different petrophysical properties typically found in unconventional reservoirs to track and understand its behavior in LDS. The results show that our method is effective for NDR methods to obtain unique, repeatable, stable representations of LDS invariant to Euclidean transformations. In addition, we propose a distortion-based metric, stress ratio (SR), that quantifies and visualizes the uncertainty space for samples in subsurface datasets, which is helpful for model updating and inferential analysis for OOSP.
