Abstract

Gas flooding has proven to be a promising method of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for mature water-flooding reservoirs. The determination of optimal well control parameters is an essential step for proper and economic development of underground hydrocarbon resources using gas injection. Generally, the optimization of well control parameters in gas flooding requires the use of compositional numerical simulation for forecasting the production dynamics, which is computationally expensive and time-consuming. This paper proposes the use of a deep long-short-term memory neural network (Deep-LSTM) as a proxy model for a compositional numerical simulator in order to accelerate the optimization speed. The Deep-LSTM model was integrated with the classical covariance matrix adaptive evolutionary (CMA-ES) algorithm to conduct well injection and production optimization in gas flooding. The proposed method was applied in the Baoshaceng reservoir of the Tarim oilfield, and shows comparable accuracy (with an error of less than 3%) but significantly improved efficiency (reduced computational duration of ~90%) against the conventional numerical simulation method.
