The recovery of oil from subsurface reservoirs often requires the injection of water or gas to
maintain reservoir pressure and to displace the oil from injection to production wells. The …

In the area of reservoir engineering, the optimization of oil and gas production is a complex
task involving a myriad of interconnected decision variables sha** the production system's …

We consider a technique to estimate an approximate gradient using an ensemble of
randomly chosen control vectors, known as Ensemble Optimization (EnOpt) in the oil and …

With the advances in smart well technology, substantially higher oil recovery can be
achieved by intelligently managing the operations in a closed-loop optimization framework …

Closed-loop reservoir management is a combination of model-based optimization and data
assimilation (computer-assisted history matching), also referred to as 'real-time reservoir …

The 'Egg Model'is a synthetic reservoir model consisting of an ensemble of 101 relatively
small three‐dimensional realizations of a channelized oil reservoir produced under water …

We design a new and general work flow for efficient estimation of the optimal well controls
for the robust production-optimization problem using support-vector regression (SVR) …

In closed-loop reservoir management, one periodically updates reservoir models by
integrating production data and then solves an optimal control problem to determine …

Determining the optimal location of wells with the aid of an automated search method can
significantly increase a project's net present value (NPV) as modeled in a reservoir …
