Yes, I developed a mathematical model of an entire oilfield, including flow in the reservoir, downhole pumps, tubing to the surface and flow in the surface piping network. I solved the partial differential equations for the physics of fluid flow numeerically in C# anmd inckluded a means to define any arbitrary flow configuratiuon and devised a general means to perform the solution for 3 phase flow to compute pressure andf temperature everyewhere. Then I used my model to compute the response in an actual field to validate the model. N
No one else has succeeded in doing that, so I know it's still the best model available and I have all my notes, so I know how I defined and built it.

Now I'm trying to decide how best to apply the model. I could try to sell it, but I think the market would be very limited. I might sell 2 or 3 coppies at most, or I can use the model to further develop the theoryt of pressure anaysis which would have wide applicatio, for emote monitoring of wells, like subsea completions and remote fields where you can't easily get data, but can easily measure surface pressure and temperature using IOT technology, etc. but gets into the mathematics of nonlinear chaotic dynamics, which would also be a new application, but sort of scary on the math side.
At any rate, the defense doesn't bother me. 2 of the professors on my commitee have already goner over my dissertation and said that they agreed that I would pass.
So now just waiting for the date to be set.
