Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
defining aggregation functions for ontological frameworks modeling categories of components of a facility, each aggregation function defining a target component selected from a Things category, an Events category, and a Methods category, wherein defining the target component includes aggregating information from one or more components selected from one or more of the Things category, the Events category, and the Methods category, wherein components of the Things category include mechanical components including wells, rigs, facilities, sensors, and metering systems, wherein components of the Events category include manual and automated actions performed using the components of the Things category, and wherein components of the Methods category include algorithms, workflows, and processes which numerically or holistically quantify the components of the events category;
receiving, in real-time from disparate sources and in disparate formats, source data providing information about the components of the facility and external systems with which the facility interacts;
aggregating, using the aggregation functions, the source data to form the ontological frameworks, each ontological framework modeling one or more components of the Things category, one or more components of the Events category, and one or more components of the Methods category, wherein aggregating the source data to form the ontological frameworks includes generating a computation graph, the computation graph including Thing nodes, Event nodes, and Method nodes, wherein edges in the computation graph represent aggregation functions between two or more nodes, including at least one event aggregation function between one or more of each of a Thing node and an Event node, and at least one method aggregation function between one or more of each of an Event node and a Method node;
determining, using the at least one event aggregation function and information from one or more of each of the Thing nodes and the Event nodes, at least one prediction for the facility, including a prediction for short-term well production in a form of a productivity index;
receiving, through a user interface, a user-defined semantic query for information from the ontological frameworks, including information about the at least one prediction for the facility;
generating, in response to the receiving the user-defined semantic query and using at least the ontological frameworks, information in response to the user-defined semantic query, including generating, using predictive modeling and machine learning and based on the prediction for short-term well production, a short-term well prediction response; and
generating, using the prediction for short-term well production, an edge on the computation graph representing the prediction for short-term well production in a form of a productivity index and connecting the one or more of each of the Thing nodes and the Event nodes used to determine the at least one prediction.
