Advanced Closed-Loop Reservoir Management for Computationally Efficient Data Assimilation and Real-Time Production Optimization of SAGD Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2018
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), an in-situ thermal oil recovery method is successfully utilized to extract bitumen from the Canadian oil sands. To improve the reservoir performance, an idea of closed-loop reservoir management (CLRM) was proposed that comprises near-continuous data...

In this thesis, we propose a computationally efficient economic model predictive control (EMPC) design which is based on a well-known methodology --- the separation of the control and prediction horizon. The extension of the prediction horizon of EMPC is realized by employing an auxiliary control...
