Optimization of Well Operations in a Carbonate Reservoir Using Stochastic Simplex Approximate Gradient

초록/요약

Well operating conditions can significantly affect the economic feasibility of developing an oil and gas field. The optimal operating conditions can be calculated using gradient-based optimization algorithms. However, using the finite difference method for this calculation is significantly costly under reservoir uncertainty and complex operating conditions. Thus, stochastic simplex approximate gradient (StoSAG), which is a calculation of the gradient by perturbing decision variables randomly, is an efficient application for optimization under uncertainty . In this study, StoSAG was applied to optimize the operating conditions in a real carbonate reservoir. Compared to the initial operating conditions, the optimized model shows a 10% increase in net present value (NPV ). The results can be utilized to determine cost-efficient operating conditions for complex reservoirs.
