Production strategy from a hydrocarbon reservoir plays an important role in optimal field development in the sense of maximizing oil recovery and economic profits. To this end, self-adapting optimization algorithms are necessary due to the great number of variables and the excessive time required for exhaustive simulation runs. Thus, this paper utilizes genetic algorithm (GA), and the objective...

Climate change in the watershed above reservoir has a direct impact on quantity of streamflow that enters and management water resources. Developing effective rule curves helps reduce risk future failures resource management. The purpose this study was to analyze influence climate volume entering Ubolratana Reservoir, Thailand during years 2020–2049 with simulations from CIMP5 model under RCP4....

The potential of Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) which is an optimization technique presented a few years ago, has encouraged scientists from various fields to solve complex, large scale problems. Because of its successful implementations, it is considered as a robust optimization tool and publications regarding its applications show a remarkable increase. In the present paper, along with a brie...
