“…A literature search shows that scholars have only researched economic evaluation or cost optimization on a specific submodule of an offshore oil project. Many scholars have conducted studies on the optimal design of oil and gas production systems from the viewpoints of submarine pipeline routes [10], manifold placement and pipeline layout [11], pressure equipment placement [12], floating and subsea layouts [13] and gathering system [14]. These studies aim to reduce the investment cost and risk of the project from the design and layout of the oil and gas gathering pipeline network.…”

With the rising consumption of oil resources, major oil companies around the world have increasingly engaged in offshore oil exploration and development, and offshore oil resources have accounted for an increasing proportion. Offshore oil engineering projects are capital intensive, and the development of offshore oil fields faces a tough battle, especially in a period of low oil prices. Thus, a comprehensive evaluation model is highly needed to help assess economic benefits and provide meaningful and valuable information for operators and investors to make sensible decisions. This study firstly proposed a realistic and integrated evaluation model for offshore oil development based on actual historical project data. This evaluation model incorporated modules from the underwater system to the platform system and processes from oil reservoir extraction to oil, gas and water treatment. The uncertain parameters in the evaluation process are dealt with by sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed model is applied to a typical offshore oil development project in Bohai Bay, China. The results reveal that the recovery factor and oil price have the greatest impact on the economic benefits. In the case of deterministic analysis, the breakeven oil price of the project is 40.59 USD/bbl. After considering the uncertainty of project parameters, the higher the oil price, the greater the probability of NPV > 0. When the oil price is higher than 70 USD/bbl, even with uncertain project parameters, the probability of NPV > 0 can still be as high as 97.39%.

“…The model was coded using the General Algebraic Modelling System (GAMS) software package with the CPLEX solver (GAMS, 2020a; GAMS, 2020b). The MIP approach provides us with the flexibility to allow some of the decision variables to be integer constrained (that is, whole numbers such as -1, 0, 1, 2, ...) at the optimal solution point (Williams, 2013; Redutskiy, 2017; Wang et al, 2018). This allows us to expand significantly the scope of useful optimisation problems that we define and solve, and the integrality constraints of the MIP models provide us with a unique ability to capture the discrete nature of some decisions (Calderón and Pekney, 2020;Li et al, 2020;Carvalho and Pinto, 2006).…”

“…Oilfield water injection pipeline network usually adopts the traditional single-pipe multi-well water distribution process mode. In order to reduce the loss rate of the pipeline network, part of the water injection system can be optimized and transformed into a partial pressure injection process mode or partial pressure water injection process mode, thereby improving the efficiency of water injection system pipeline network (Zheng et al 2013;Wang et al 2018).…”

Due to the complexity of the large-scale water injection pipe network system and the difficulty of manual analysis, it is impossible to guarantee the optimal operation mode scheme selected. At present, there are still gaps in the research on the judgment of its optimal operation mode. Through the calculation and evaluation of a large amount of water injection system data, the selection method of the optimal operation mode of the water injection system is determined, and it is found that the selection of the optimal operation mode is closely related to the pressure distribution characteristics of the individual wells of the entire water injection system, and five discriminant rules for the optimal operation mode of the water injection system are formed based on these characteristics; the mathematical model for determining the mode and the optimal method of operating parameters is given, and the pipeline network simulation system automatically generates the pipe network topology diagram; the optimal operation mode of the water injection system is developed; Intelligent judgment software can modify its operating parameters according to needs, change operating modes, easily simulate the energy consumption in various modes of operation, adjust and find the optimal operation plan of the water injection pipe network. Application examples show that the judgment rules of the optimal operation mode of the water injection system and the optimization method of operating parameters can be used as an effective means for selecting the optimal operation plan for a large-scale water injection pipeline network.
