چکیده

بهینه‌سازی تولید از میادین هیدروکربوری یکی از دغدغه‌های اصلی مدیریت مخازن نفت و گاز است. در این راستا از تکنولوژی چاه هوشمند که در دهه اخیر توسعه یافته، استفاده می‌شود. از جمله چالش‌های مهم این تکنولوژی، تنظیم بهینه شیرهای کنترلی هوشمند است. در این مقاله با هدف بهینه‌سازی تنظیمات شیرهای کنترلی هوشمند، نتایج حاصل با حالت معمولی مقایسه شده است. در این راستا از روش‌های طرح آزمایش تاگوچی و سطح پاسخ برای مدل‌سازی و تعیین ارتباط تنظیمات شیرهای کنترلی با مقدار تولید نفت و بهینه‌سازهای غیرخطی برای تعیین تنظیمات بهینه شیرهای کنترلی به منظور بیشینه کردن تولید نفت، کمینه کردن تولید آب و کاهش زمان محاسبات استفاده شده است.

چکیده [English]

The optimization of hydrocarbon produced from the fields is one of the main concerns of the management of oil and gas reservoirs. In this respect, smart well technology developed in recent decades has been used. Among the main challenges of this important technology, one may refer to the optimized planning of intelligent control valves. This paper is based on the results of reservoir simulations, the behavior of smart wells, and use of experimental design Taguchi methods and response surface modeling and procedures are used to obtain and nonlinearly optimize the correlation between intelligent control valve settings and rate of oil production, and therefore to increase the rate of oil production while minimizing the rate of water production and calculation time.
