Adaptive Gas-Lift Allocation Optimisation Using Model Predictive Control and Genetic Algorithms with Full-Physics Reservoir Simulation
This study presents a hierarchical intelligent control framework for real-time gas-lift allocation optimisation in a three-well system based on the SPE9 benchmark reservoir. The approach combines a Genetic Algorithm (GA) as a slow supervisory optimiser with a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) acting as a fast, smooth...
