Patent ID: 8612193

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for processing raw reservoir data to reduce data size, the method comprising: i. receiving a first series of raw data as a function of time from a first reservoir sensor; ii. receiving a second series of raw data as a function of time from a second reservoir sensor; iii. using a predetermined criteria to identify a plurality of subsets-of-interest within the first series of raw data; iv. using time intervals associated with the plurality of subsets-of-interest within the first series of raw data to identify corresponding subsets-of-interest within the second series of raw data; and v. generating a third series of data as a function of time using the second series of raw data comprising the corresponding subsets-of-interest, wherein the third series of data comprises a first data resolution for the corresponding subsets-of-interest and a second data resolution that is different from the first data resolution for data outside the corresponding subsets-of-interest.
