Architecture and Implementation of an Optimization Decision Support System

Abstract

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax +1-972-952-9435 AbstractThis paper describes the implementation of an optimization advisory system by Sarawak Shell Bhd. on the integrated gas production system in Sarawak, to help monitor and optimize in real-time the more than 100 wells on 30+ facilities of the system, governed by different Production Sharing Contracts. We highlight how multiple disciplines are part of the solution, how the solution has been embedded to provide real-time advisory to planners and operators, and the challenges faced.

Evolutionary Algorithm to Support Field Architecture Scenario Screening Automation and Optimization Using Decentralized Subsea Processing Modules

“…The authors of [45] proposed an optimization strategy based on a proxy model built from the production potential curves, as explained by [46]. A different alternative was given in [47], where data-driven models were used for real-time optimization during the operation. Although data-driven models are addressed to optimize operation, it might be possible to use a similar approach for design optimization by generating synthetic data from physical models, as proposed by [48].…”
