Deep learning-based latent space methods for subsurface resource modeling


University of Southern California

Worked in different areas, including: deep neural networks for dimension reduction and data conditioning, novel neural network architectures for characterizing subsurface flow connectivity, integration of dynamic flow data under uncertain geologic scenarios using low-dimensional latent space, and development of efficient fit-for-purpose proxy models for prediction and uncertainty quantification in subsurface flow systems.

Created a Mathematica program to evaluate any function satisfying the Dirichlet problem for elliptical partial differential equations on a circular domain. Linear, piece-wise elements were used for the boundary element method solution. Visualization, numerical analysis and error computations were performed on the results.

Worked in collaboration with Bravo Natural Resources in developing an algorithm to predict liquid loading in gas wells in the STACK/SCOOP region. Used R/Shiny to deploy a real-time user-friendly GUI, "LoadLook," for visualization and prediction of production performance. Used ARIMA and modified decline curve analysis for liquid loading prediction, and cross-validation with mechanistic physical modeling.
