- Abstract
Most traditional injection-production optimization methods that treat the entire oil reservoir as a whole require re-optimization when facing new reservoirs, which is not only time-consuming but also does not make full use of historical experience information. This study decomposes the reservoir into independent basic production units to increase sample size and diversity and utilizes image enhancement techniques to augment the number of samples. Two frameworks based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are employed to recommend optimal control strategies for inputted well groups. Framework 1 uses bottom hole pressure (BHP) as a control variable and trains a CNN with optimal BHP obtained by reinforcement learning algorithms as labels. Framework 2 saves BHP and corresponding oil well revenue (NPV) during reinforcement learning optimization and trains a CNN with well groups and BHP as features and NPV as labels. The CNN in this framework is capable of directly outputting the NPV according to control strategies. The particle swarm algorithm (PSO) is used to generate control strategies and call CNN to predict development effects until PSO converges to the optimal production strategy. The experimental results demonstrate that the CNN-based frameworks outperform the traditional PSO-based methods in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. Framework 1 achieves an output accuracy of 87% for predicting the optimal BHP for new well groups, while Framework 2 achieves an accuracy of 78%. Both frameworks exhibit fast running times, with each iteration taking less than 1 s. This study provides a more effective and accurate method for optimizing oil well production in oil reservoirs by decomposing oil reservoirs into independent units and using CNN to construct an algorithm framework, which is of great significance for the real-time optimization and control of oil wells in oil fields.
