Abstract:This paper presents an approach for optimizing the oil recovery factor by determining initial oil production rates. The proposed method utilizes the Q-learning method and the reservoir simulator (Eclipse 100) to achieve the desired objective. The system identifies the most efficient initial oil production rates by conducting a sufficient number of iterations for various initial oil production rates. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a case study is conducted using a numerical reservoir mo… Show more
