Spring 2014
Physics-based large-scale reservoir models are routinely employed in the prediction of the SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) process under different operation situations. However, due to the uncertainty of the reservoir and the limitations of the commercial reservoir simulators, the...

This dissertation explores the development of a system identification method for Switching ARX (SARX) models for Off-line and Online applications. The switching sequence in SARX models converts the model parameter's estimation into a mix-integer optimization problem. To cope with complexity of...

Two different types of switching mechanism are considered in this thesis; one is featured with abrupt/sudden switching while the other one shows gradual changing behavior in its dynamics. It is shown that, through the comparison of the identification results from the proposed method and a...

Real-Time Feedback Control of the SAGD Process using Model Predictive Control to Improve Recovery: A Simulation Study
DownloadSpring 2015
Scope of the Work: For over a decade, the oil industry has been moving to “smart fields”, which deploy wells with remotely operated valves and permanently installed downhole sensors for real-time pressure and temperature measurements. Real-time data from these “intelligent wells” provide key...
