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 …

Many aspects of reservoir management can be expected to benefit from the application of
computational optimization procedures. The focus of this review paper is on well control …

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) …

As the crucial step in closed-loop reservoir management, robust life-cycle production
optimization is defined as maximizing/minimizing the expected value of a predefined …

In this paper, we develop an efficient algorithm for production optimization under linear and
