Precisely forecasting oil field performance is essential in oil reservoir planning and management. Nevertheless, forecasting oil production is a complex nonlinear problem due to all geophysical and petrophysical properties that may result in different effects with a bit of change. Thus, all decisions to be made during an exploitation project must consider different efficient algorithms to simulate data, providing robust scenarios to lead to the best deductions. To reduce the uncertainty in the simulation process, recent studies have efficiently introduced machine learning algorithms for solving reservoir engineering problems since they can extract the maximum information from the dataset. This thesis proposes using two machine learning techniques to predict the daily oil production of an offshore reservoir. Initially, the oil rate production is considered a time series and is pre-processed and restructured to fit a supervised learning problem. The Random Forest model is used to forecast a one-time step, which is an extension of decision tree learning, widely used in regression and classification problems for supervised machine learning. Regardless, the restrictions of this approach lead us to a more robust model, the LSTM RNN s, which are proposed by several studies as a suitable deep learning technique for time series modeling. Various configurations of LSTM RNN s were constructed to implement single-step and multi-step oil rate forecasting and down-hole pressure was incorporated to the inputs. For testing the robustness of the proposed models, we use four different datasets, three of them synthetically generated and one from a public real dataset, the Volve oil field, as a case study to conduct the experiments. The results indicate that the Random Forest model could sufficiently estimate the one-time step of the oil field production, and LSTM could handle more inputs and adequately estimate multiple-time steps of oil production.
