This work investigates the problem of optimization of
alternatives for
petroleum fields` development. A development alternative
refers to the way a
well-known and delimited petroleum field is placed in
production. This process
involves the determination of the number, localization and
scheduling of producer
and injector wells. Thus, the optimization of alternatives
consists of finding the
production configurations that, in the long term, provide
the maximum net present
value (NPV); this is obtained from the investment cost, oil
price, oil & gas
production, operation costs and taxes and royalties paid
during the production
time. The oil and gas production is obtained from a
reservoir simulator. The
simulator receives information from the alternative to be
simulated, and returns an
oil & gas production to specified production time. Each
simulation can take from
a few seconds to several hours, depending on complexity of
the reservoir being
modeled. This work proposes, implements and evaluates an
intelligent
optimization system that comprises: genetic algorithms
(GAs) to search an
optimal development alternative; using of parallel
computing environment to
reservoir simulation and NPV computing; an inference
module, basis in intelligent
models, to approximate the oil production function; and a
oilfield characterization
module, basis in quality maps, to obtain information about
the oilfield to use
during optimization process. This work consisted of four
stages: a literature
review about petroleum field development and reservoir
simulation; a study about
computational intelligence techniques applied in
optimization and functions
approximation; the development of alternatives optimization
proposal model; and
the case studies. The proposal model was evaluated using
homogeneous and
heterogeneous reservoir configurations, obtaining results
of optimization, by using
characterization, the inference module and the parallel
environment. The obtained
results indicate that the proposed model provides
alternatives with high NPV
without previous knowledge and also from information
provided by
characterization or information inserted by the expert as
initial seeds into optimization. The main contribution of
this work is the conception and the
implementation of a system basis in intelligent techniques
to optimize
development alternatives offering a reduction time to an
iterative process,
obtained from exploit of computational effort of a parallel
computing environment
or by using of production curves approximations. This
intelligent system offers a
decision-support tool that allows automating the search
process of development
alternatives and exploiting information from knowledge of
reservoir engineers.
