3D Operations Data Visualization for Reservoir Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Two-dimensional data formats are inadequate for conveying relationships between operations data for multiple production wells over time, failing to provide a global perspective and becoming cumbersome with increasing well numbers, especially in fields like medical treatment modeling and reservoir production monitoring.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for rendering operations data as a three-dimensional image, including an object with attributes and a marker with operations values relative to positions and time, allowing for dynamic perspective changes by moving an opening to visualize relationships effectively.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two-dimensional data formats (pie charts, bar charts, bubble charts) are used to present operations data, then the data can be displayed in a simple format, but the relationships between operations data for multiple production wells over time cannot be conveyed effectively and a global perspective is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms operations data from two-dimensional representations (charts) to three-dimensional visualizations (volumetric rendering). This allows operations data for multiple production wells to be displayed in spatial context within a reservoir model, enabling simultaneous visualization of temporal relationships and global perspective that cannot be achieved in 2D formats.
2Ease of manufacture
If two-dimensional data formats are used, then the presentation remains simple, but the complexity increases when the number of production wells increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple operations data streams from different production wells into a single integrated three-dimensional visualization. By combining all well data within one volumetric display, the system avoids the complexity of managing multiple separate 2D charts and provides a unified global perspective that scales efficiently with the number of wells.
3Ease of manufacture
If two-dimensional formats are used to display operations data, then the display remains straightforward, but a global perspective of the reservoir or object cannot be obtained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs three-dimensional volumetric rendering to display operations data within a reservoir model, enabling users to obtain a global perspective by visualizing all production wells and their operations data in spatial context. This 3D approach allows simultaneous viewing of individual well data and overall reservoir patterns, providing adaptability for different analysis requirements.
