Auto-optimization of production-injection rate for reservoirs with strong natural aquifer at ultra-high water cut stage

Based on the optimal control theory and taking the production law of reservoirs with strong natural aquifer as the basic constraint, a mathematical model of liquid production for such reservoirs in the later stage of development is established. The model is solved by improved simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation algorithm (SPSA), and an automatic optimization software for liquid production is developed. This model avoids the disadvantage of traditional optimization methods that only focus on the maximum value of mathematics but ignore the production law of oilfield. It has the advantages of high efficiency of calculation, short period and automatic optimization. It can satisfy the automatic optimization of liquid production in later stage of oilfield development. The software was applied in the oilfield development of D oilfield, Ecuador in South America, and realized the automatic optimization of liquid production in the later stage of oilfield development.
