Towards Dynamic Data-Driven Optimization of Oil Well Placement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adequate location of wells in oil and environmental applications has a significant economical impact on reservoir management. However, the determination of optimal well locations is both challenging and computationally expensive. The overall goal of this research is to use the emerging Grid infrastructure to realize an autonomic dynamic data-driven self-optimizing reservoir framework. In this paper, we present the use of distributed data to dynamically drive the optimization of well placement in an oil reservoir.

Fluid Injection Optimization Using Modified Global Dynamic Harmony Search
One of the mostly used enhanced oil recovery methods is the injection of water or gas under pressure to maintain or reverse the declining pressure in a reservoir. Several parameters should be optimized in a fluid injection process. The usual optimizing methods evaluate several scenarios to find the best solution. Since it is required to run the reservoir simulator hundreds of times, the process...
