摘要

Reservoir simulation is a tool that offers wide scope for reservoir management. The first part of this research concentrates on developing simulation based tools to maximize the profit in the oil recovery process. The next part focuses on the development of a method to improve reservoir models using real-time measurements. A previously developed two-dimensional, two-phase reservoir simulator that uses a control volume approach to solve the flow equations for an oil-water system was used for the purposes stated above. The simulator has the ability to incorporate fractures and employs a discrete-fracture model to do so. It can also handle any complex field geometry.; The quasi-Newton method using a BFGS update formula provided by the optimization toolkit TAO (toolkit for advanced optimization), developed at the Argonne National Lab, was used to optimize water injection strategies in order to maximize the profit associated with oil recovery. This toolkit was interfaced with the reservoir simulator. Two different cost functions were considered. The first one was a simple profit function in which the cost of oil produced is negated by the costs of water injection and production. This profit is summed over the entire period of operation. The second model for the cost function used here was the net present value (NPV). When using this function, the profit is discounted over the period of operation or in other words, oil's worth is considered to be more at the present time than it is later in the future. The optimization strategies developed for these two cost functions were compared in the studies. Significant improvement was observed in fluid production characteristics when using the optimal strategy as opposed to an uncontrolled case. In this algorithm, the period of operation was divided into more than one stage and the effect of multiple stages on the optima was also studied. Different domains with varying geologic complexities were used in the studies. This method was compared to an earlier algorithm developed and was shown to achieve better multi-stage solutions.; In the next part of this research, a variation of the traditional Kalman filter, known as the implicit Kalman filter (IKF) was used to update the reservoir model by estimating the states of the process using measurements from a reference field. This variation is used to estimate the states of a system cast in an implicit descriptor form. In order to achieve this, the reservoir model was linearized to cast the nonlinear model in an implicit form whenever measurements were available. However, the original nonlinear model was used to carry out the forward simulation. An algorithm employing a first-order Newton's method to estimate the porosity of a homogeneous field was also developed, which was used in conjunction with the IKF. A coarsely gridded domain was used as the model in all the case studies whereas a fine-scale representation of the same domain was used as the reference to generate the measurements. The states themselves were used as the measurements at select locations. The results show excellent agreement of the states of the model with the reference field as time progresses. The porosity is also estimated within a fair degree of accuracy.
