AI for Production Allocation and Hydrocarbon Reconciliation
Apply data-driven models to allocate commingled production, reconcile imbalances and quantify uncertainty without obscuring measurement governance.
Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
Apply data-driven models to allocate commingled production, reconcile imbalances and quantify uncertainty without obscuring measurement governance. Participants work through five connected modules using discipline-specific evidence, calculations and an applied decision case.
Prerequisites
Prior exposure to petroleum data, statistics and machine-learning workflows is recommended.
Objectives
- Interpret allocation architecture and measurement evidence using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Calculate virtual metering and soft-sensor models using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Diagnose data reconciliation and constraint handling using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Evaluate uncertainty, drift and explainability using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
- Deliver governed allocation-model deployment workshop using traceable evidence and an explicit decision criterion.
Target audience
- Petroleum engineers, data scientists and industrial AI product owners
- OT, model-risk and technical-assurance specialists
- Technical assurance, data and reliability practitioners
- Supervisors and discipline leads responsible for operational decisions
