Data-driven Oil Recovery (DOR)

With the recent advancements in sensing and data acquisition technologies, it is now economically viable to equip the oilfield assets, such as production wells and water/steam injection wells as well as oilfield facilities with multi-modal sensors for fine-monitoring of the oilfield. With DOR, we research, design and develop the data storage, access, querying and mining techniques that enable data-driven optimization of the oil recovery.

Opportunities Increasing production Reducing cost Improving safety Enabling better and faster decision-making by real-time information processing Creating value by more proactive intervention

Challenges High-rate data streams Multidimensional data Large-scale datasets Complex queries Historical and real-time analysis
