Presentation outline
Background
Integrated Asset Modeling established methodology for
asset performance

Need to exploit further the integration philosophy through
optimization

Objectives
Development of an optimization and integration tool to
support daily operations
Choke valve settings, well routing
Separator pressure, reboiler temperature etc.
Maximize asset performance objectives taking into
account possible constraints
Reservoir limits (minimum FBHP)
Erosion velocity
Process constraints

Background and Objectives
Background and Objectives
Integration methodology
Hypotheses
Constant fluid composition for each well (independent
from FTHP)

Steady state conditions
The tool is not able to reproduce time dependence
effect like slugs, shut down or ramp up conditions
Well performances such as Production Index PI,
reservoir pressure are considered not time dependent

The tool is not designed to have forecasts

Boundaries of the system. The tool is designed to
simulate asset performance from sand face to delivery
point

Integrated model = two
production environments
1. The gathering system
(GAP)

2. The process plant
(HYSYS)

Optimization particularly challenging:
Several variables
Several constraints
Optimization methodology




Interaction between the different production
environments and search of the optimum through
genetic algorithms







3 basics requirements:
Find the true global optimum
Fast convergence
Limited number of control parameters
Optimization methodology
Steps to build a sound genetic algorithms

1. Define the variables and the constraints of the system
2. Define the algorithm parameters
3. Define the fitness function
4. Generate the initial population
5. Find the fitness for each individual
6. Convergence check
7. Select mates
8. Mating
9. Mutation
10.Go back to step 5

Optimization methodology
Example: 3 wells and 20 choke openings (5%, 10%.....95%,100%)
Definition of the openings with binary representation
20 openings means 5 bits (2
