  • MULTI-PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION OF OILFIELD OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20190010790
    Abstract: A method for optimizing oilfield operations, in some embodiments, comprises: identifying a first oilfield model; determining n solutions to the first oilfield model that optimize a target parameter of the first oilfield model; identifying a second oilfield model; identifying a set of parameter values used in then solutions; selecting from said set a value that optimizes a different target parameter in the second oilfield model; determining an optimal solution to the first oilfield model using the selected value as a constant in said first oilfield model; and adjusting oilfield equipment using one or more of said optimizations.
