This paper presents a survey of methods and techniques developed for the solution of the
continuous gas‐lift optimization problem over the last two decades. These range from …

Optimization in the production of oil comprises various processes to measure, analyze,
model, prioritize, and implementation to enhance productivity of a field, reservoir, well, or …

Quick evaluation of reservoir performance is a main concern in decision making. Time-
consuming input data preparation and computing, along with data uncertainty tend to inhibit …

Although a useful and important tool, the potential of mathematical modelling for decision
making is often neglected. Considered an art by many and weird science by some …

This is a noncritical survey of key literature in the field of real-time production optimization of
oil and gas production. The information flow used for optimization of the system is described …

This paper presents a methodology to optimize the value of oil produced by adjusting the
water injection rates in a mature field. The reservoir is considered to be a multi-well input …

We develop explicit, piecewise-linear formulations of functions f (x): ℝ n↦ ℝ, n≤ 3, that are
defined on an orthogonal grid of vertex points. If mixed-integer linear optimization problems …

For some petroleum fields, optimization of production operations can be a major factor for
increasing production rates and reducing production costs. While for single wells or other …

In this paper, we present a novel mixed integer nonlinear (MINLP) model for the daily well
scheduling in petroleum fields, where the nonlinear reservoir behaviour, the multiphase flow …

Continuous flow gas lift is one of the most common artificial lift methods widely used in the
oil industry. A continuous volume of high-pressure gas is injected as deep as possible into …
