Abstract: A system and method for extracting a resource from a reservoir repeatedly alternates between injecting a fluid and injecting a gas into the reservoir. A rate and/or an amount of each of the fluid and the gas that is injected into the reservoir is defined by a first fluid-and-gas ratio function that designates different ratios as a function of time. The ratios designate the rate and/or the amount of the fluid that is injected into the reservoir to the rate and/or the amount of the gas that is injected into the reservoir. The rate and/or the amount at which the fluid and/or the gas is injected into the reservoir is changed according to the ratios designated by the first fluid-and-gas ratio function as time progresses.

Abstract: System includes one or more processors that are configured to perform iterations of the following until a predetermined condition is satisfied. The one or more processors are configured to select a modified trial schedule. The modified trial schedule is selected based on initial fluid-extraction data and initial trial schedules and, if available, prior modified trial schedules and prior modified fluid-extraction data from prior iterations.

The schedule generator generates a surrogate model based on the initial resource output data and the initial trial schedules and uses the surrogate model to perform iterations of selecting modified trial schedules until a predetermined condition is satisfied.
