Abstract: Carbon dioxide could be stored in unconventional shale reservoirs in a supercritical state due to available pore volume, infrastructure, and injectivity. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the injectivity and ...

Abstract: Machine vision has a wide range of applications in the field of welding. The rise of convolutional neural network (CNN) provides a new way to extract visual features of welding. Due to the limitation of the small size of ...

Abstract: A surrogate model is a common tool to approximate system response at untested points for design space exploration. Adaptive sampling has been studied for improving the accuracy of surrogates iteratively by introducing ...

Abstract: Horizontal wells with multistage fracture treatments enabled economic gas production from shale gas reservoirs. Recovery from a typical shale reservoir is usually quite low as numerous factors can affect the ultimate ...

Abstract: The focus of this paper is a strategy for making a prediction at a point where a function cannot be evaluated. The key idea is to take advantage of the fact that prediction is needed at one point and not in the entire ...

Abstract: Industrial applications frequently pose a notorious challenge for state-of-the-art methods in the contexts of optimization, designing experiments and modeling unknown physical response. This problem is aggravated by limited ...
