This paper presents research results within real-time production optimization and reservoir management at the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (IO center). This includes life-cycle and long term issues like well location and target production rates. Further, results on short term production optimization, for instance the allocation of target production between wells an...

The impacts of climate change on the Nile River and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) along with increased water demand downstream suggest an urgent need for more efficient management reservoir system that is well-informed by accurate modeling optimization operation. This study provides updated balance model Aswan High Reservoir, which was validated using combined heterogeneous sources inf...

The main objective of this work is to present a new methodology for seismic reservoir characterization that provides fine-scaled reservoir models of facies and reservoir properties, such as porosity, net-to-gross, and, possibly, fluid saturation. The proposed iterative methodology is based on sequential simulations of discrete variables, namely sequential indicator simulation, and a stochastic ...

This paper presents a method concerning the integration of the benefit/cost analysis and the real genetic algorithm with various elements of reservoir dam design. The version 4.0 of HEC-RAS software and Hydro-Rout models have been used to simulate the region and flood routing in the reservoir of the dam, respectively. A mathematical programming has been prepared in MATLAB software and linked wi...

Water level fluctuations in lakes lead to shoreline displacement. The seasonality of flooding or beaching of the littoral area affects nutrient cycling, redox gradients in sediments, and life cycles of aquatic organisms. Despite the ecological importance of water level fluctuations, we still lack a method that assesses water levels in the context of hydropower operations. Water levels in reserv...

The model was created to assist in the appropriate allocation of water produce crops optimize net profit through monthly reservoir operation. maximizes crop revenue and determines type size cultivated for each zone, taking into account availability. following factors constrain optimization model: (1) availability; (2) demand irrigated farmland crops; (3) limited areas zone; (4) projected final ...

In the present study an evolutionary based optimization algorithm Differential Evolution (DE) is applied to a case study of Bisalpur project, Rajasthan, India. The objective of DE based planning model is to determine suitable cropping pattern which yields maximum net benefits. Ten different strategies (variations) of DE are analyzed with various population sizes, crossover constants and weighti...

Computerized reservoir simulation models are widely used in the industry to forecast the behavior of hydrocarbon reservoirs and connected surface facilities over long production periods. These simulation models are increasingly complex and costly to build and often use millions of individual cells in their discretization of the reservoir volume. Simulation processing time and memory requirement...
