Automated reservoir management using multi-objective simulation optimization and SA model

The proposed model is compatible with previous models and moreover supplements them with a conscious automatic planning potential. Utilizing this model, multi-objective optimization will provide higher level of automation upon definition of temporal objectives and preferences without human interference. This model introduces higher degree of freedom in decision making and generates production/injection profiles flexible with predefined objectives and preferences of the management, which is advocated through a case study of water injection reservoir. Conceivable sets of dynamic objectives in different optimized production/injection profiles illustrate the establish role of SA in automatic reservoir management.
