ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing the production of oil reservoirs, and notably the production schemes, while taking into account uncertainties inherent in any reservoir survey. The method sequentially has the following stages:Stage 1: A sensitivity study to evaluate the impact, on the production of the oil reservoir, of the production scheme configurations tested (several well sites, . . . ) in relation to the uncertainties specific to the reservoir (permeability, aquifer force, . . . ).Stage 2: A quantification study of the risks associated with the configurations being studied to determine whether it is necessary to seek an optimum production scheme.Stage 4: A production scheme optimization study: having, the goal to determine the ideal production configuration for a given objective.
