History matching is an inverse problem of partial differential equation on mathematics. We adopt the constrained non-linear optimization to handle this problem, defining the objective function as the weighted square sum of differences between the wells simulation values and the corresponding observation values. We develop an optimization computing program that include Zoutendijk feasible direct...
