Characterizing the Impacts of Shale Barriers and Lean Zones on SAGD Performance with Data-Driven Modeling Techniques
DownloadSpring 2016
Performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is influenced significantly by the distributions of shale barriers and lean zones, which tend to impede the vertical growth and lateral spread of a steam chamber. Reliable appraisal and prediction of SAGD require a comprehensive understanding...

How does the brain represent musical properties? Even with our growing understanding of the cognitive neuroscience of music (Abbott, 2002; Peretz and Zatorre, 2003; Peretz and Zatorre, 2005; Zatorre and McGill, 2005), the answer to this question remains unclear. One method for conceiving possible...

Evaluation of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) performance that involves detailed compositional simulations is usually deterministic, cumbersome, expensive (manpower and time consuming), and not quite suitable for practical decision making and forecasting, particularly when dealing with...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is becoming a popular tool to quantify environmental impacts including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Because of the high number of assumptions and low quality of available data, the results of LCA are often viewed with skepticism. It is common for studies to provide...

The backpropagation algorithm is a fundamental algorithm for training modern artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, it is known the backpropagation algorithm performs poorly on changing problems. We demonstrate the backpropagation algorithm can perform poorly on a clear, generic, changing...
