System, method and program product for automatically supplying missing parameters for matching new members of a population with analogous members

摘要

A population comparison system, method and a computer program product therefor. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, includes parameters for corresponding known characteristics and analogous members for each member. A new population member input receives new member descriptions including parameters for each respective new member. A parameter extraction system automatically extracts an estimated value for each missing key parameter, providing a supplemented description. An analogous member selector automatically selects a subset of listed population members as analogous members for each new population member responsive to the supplemented description.

1. An population comparison system comprising:
a population storage storing a list of population members and parameters for corresponding known characteristics for each population member, said parameters including hierarchical parameters, chronological parameters and ranking parameters; a new population member input receiving new population member descriptions including parameters for each respective new population member; a parameter extraction system interactively identifying controlling key parameters (CKPs) in said stored list, automatically extracting an estimated value for missing parameter values, and selectively replacing said hierarchical parameters, said chronological parameters and said ranking parameters, a supplemented description being provided by inclusion of replaced parameters and estimated said values in each new population member description; and an analogous member selector automatically selecting a subset of listed population members as analogous members for each new population member responsive to said supplemented description.
