dc.description.abstract |
Waterflooding is a recovery technique where water is pumped into an oil reservoir for increase in
production. Changing reservoir states will require different injection and production settings for
optimal operation which can be formulated as a dynamic optimization problem. This could be solved
through optimal control techniques which traditionally can only provide an open-loop solution.
However, this solution is sensitive to uncertainties which is inevitable to reservoirs. Direct feedback
control has been proposed recently for optimal waterflooding operations with the aim to counteract
the effects of reservoir uncertainties. In this work, a feedback approach based on the principle
of receding horizon control (RHC) was developed for waterflooding process optimization. Application
of RHC strategy to counteract the effect of uncertainties has yielded gains that vary from 0.14%
to 19.22% over the traditional open-loop approach. The gain increases with introduction of more
uncertainties into the configuration. The losses incurred as a result of the effect of feedback is in the
range of 0.25%–15.21% in comparison to 0.39%–31.51% for the case of traditional open-loop control
approach. |
