Research on prediction of bottom hole flowing pressure for vertical coalbed methane wells based on improved SSA-BPNN by YU Yang, DONG Yintao, LI Yunbo, BAO Yu, ZHANG Lixia, SUN Hao

“…The validation set showed that the mean absolute percentage errors for the BPNN model and the Improved SSA-BPNN model on the validation set were 3.10% and 0.53%, respectively. This demonstrated that coupling the Improved SSA and BPNN effectively overcame the propensity of BPNN to converge to local optima, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of flowing bottom hole pressure in a vertical coalbed methane well. …”
