Well Control Optimization of Waterflooding Oilfield Based on Deep Neural Network by Lihui Tang, Junjian Li, Wenming Lu, Peiqing Lian, Hao Wang, Hanqiao Jiang, Fulong Wang, Hongge Jia

“…Based on the production dynamic prediction model, a series of model generation, production prediction, comparison, and optimization are carried out to find the best production plan of the reservoir. The calculation results of the examples show that (1) compared with the single-input production dynamic prediction model, the production dynamic prediction model based on multiple inputs has better prediction accuracy, and the results are close to the calculation results of the conventional numerical simulator; (2) the well control optimization method based on the multiple-input deep neural network has a fast optimization speed, with many comparison schemes and good optimization effect.…”
