Abstract
This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution.The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “A reservoir can be a subsurface formation that can be characterized at least in part by its porosityand fluid permeability. As an example, a reservoir may be part of a basin such as a sedimentary basin.A basin can be a depression (e.g., caused by plate tectonic activity, subsidence, etc.) in which sedimentsaccumulate. As an example, where hydrocarbon source rocks occur in combination with appropriate depthand duration of burial, a petroleum system may develop within a basin, which may form a reservoir thatincludes hydrocarbon fluids (e.g., oil, gas, etc.). Various operations may be performed in the field toaccess such hydrocarbon fluids and/or produce such hydrocarbon fluids. For example, consider equipmentoperations where equipment may be controlled to perform one or more operations.”
