Application of mathematical modelling methods in oil production management

Abstract

Purpose. To assess the effectiveness of the practical application of mathematical modelling methods of the operation principles of oil production management systems in a fuzzy environment and the main aspects of their application in oil production. Methodology. The basis of the methodological approach in this study is a combination of methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the basic principles of the development of mathematical models for managing oil production processes in a fuzzy environment. Findings. The authors investigated the available methods of mathematical modeling in order to select the optimal possibilities for creating mathematical models. A qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of the practical application of methods of mathematical modeling of the principles of operation of oil production management systems in a fuzzy environment was formulated. The main aspects of application of methods of mathematical modeling directly in the process of oil production were established. Originality. A fuzzy approach is proposed for solving the problem of multi-criteria optimization in the development of a field and oil production, in which the task is set and solved in a fuzzy environment without previously converting them to equivalent clear tasks. This ensures the correctness and efficiency of the solution by increasing the adequacy of the description of the problem in a fuzzy environment. Practical value. The results obtained and the conclusions formulated on their basis are of considerable practical importance for employees of research institutes of the oil industry responsible for the development of effective methods of mathematical modelling of oil production process control systems and for employees of oil companies whose professional duties include the introduction of the mentioned mathematical models in oil fields.

A method for extracting oil from a field with hard-to-recover reserves based on systems analysis methodology

“…For the effective use of large oil reserves in the economy of Kazakhstan, as in other countries, it is necessary to have scientifically based methods of field development and oil production, based on modern achievements of mathematical methods, automation tools and information technology [6,7]. These methods and tools, compared to physical and technological methods, are much more effective and efficient.…”
