The general form of objective function for production targets optimisation is given by:
(1) | G = \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} \left[ R_O \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{O, p} + R_G \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{G, p} \right] - \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} C_L \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{L, p} - \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} C_O \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{O, p} - \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} C_G \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{G, p} - \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} C_W \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{W, p} - \sum_{i=1}^{N_{W, \rm inj}} C_{W, \rm inj} \cdot q^{\downarrow}_{W, i} - \sum_{j=1}^{N_{G, \rm inj}} C_{G, \rm inj} \cdot q^{\downarrow}_{G, i} \rightarrow \rm max |
where
q^{\uparrow}_{O, p} | oil production rate for p-th producer, volume/day | C_O | cost of oil treatment, cash/volume | R_O | oil price, cash/volume |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
q^{\uparrow}_{G, p} | gas production rate for p-th producer, volume/day | C_G | cost of gas treatment, cash/volume | R_G | gas price, cash/volume |
q^{\uparrow}_{W, p} | water production rate for p-th producer, volume/day | C_W | cost of water treatment, cash/volume | ||
q^{\uparrow}_{L, p} | liquid production rate for p-th producer, volume/day | C_L | cost of fluid lift, cash/volume | ||
q^{\downarrow}_{W, i} | water injection rate for i-th water injector, volume/day | C_{W, \rm inj} | cost of water injection, cash/volume | ||
q^{\downarrow}_{G, i} | gas injection rate for i-th gas injector, volume/day | C_{G, \rm inj} | cost of gas injection, cash/volume |
This can be rewritten in terms of sandface flowrates:
(2) | G = \sum_{p=1}^{N_{\rm prod}} G^{\uparrow}_{ut,p} \cdot q^{\uparrow}_{t, p} - \sum_{i=1}^{N_{W, \rm inj}} G^{\downarrow}_w \cdot q^{\downarrow}_{w, i} - \sum_{j=1}^{N_{G, \rm inj}} G^{\downarrow}_g \cdot q^{\downarrow}_{g, i} \rightarrow \rm max |
where
\displaystyle G^{\uparrow}_{t,p} |
\displaystyle G^{\downarrow}_w = B_w \cdot C_{W, \rm inj} |
\displaystyle G^{\downarrow}_g = B_g \cdot C_{G, \rm inj} |
