METHOD FOR FORECASTING THE PRODUCTION OF A PETROLEUM RESERVOIR UTILIZING GENETIC PROGRAMMING

摘要

A method utilizing genetic programming to construct history matching (Fig 1, Bl 16 & Bl 18)aid forecasting proxies for reservoir simulators. Acting as surrogates for computer simulators, the genetic programming proxies evaluate a large number of reservoir models (Fig 1., Bl 24) and predict future production forecasts for petroleum reservoirs (Fig 1, Bl 30).
