Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, an oil well production scheduling problem for the light load oil well during petroleum field exploitation was studied. The oil well production scheduling was to determine the turn on/off status and oil flow rates of thewells in a given oil reservoir, subject to a number of constraints such as minimumup/down time limits and well grouping. The problem was formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model that minimized the total production operating cost and start-up cost. Due to the NP-hardness of the problem, an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a new velocity updating formula was developed to solve the problemapproximately. Computational experiments on randomly generated instanceswere carried out to evaluate the performance of the model and the algorithm's effectiveness. Compared with the commercial solver CPLEX, the improved PSO can obtain high-quality schedules within a much shorter running time for all the instances.
