Abstract
The paper investigated the problem of selecting/finding the optimal process conditions for gas condensate wells. The well process conditions imply a set of parameters that characterize its operation. The optimization of process conditions provides for the efficient operation of an oil and gas field while meeting the defined boundary and initial conditions, and allows for the process/production goal to be achieved. This paper proposed using the tree-structured Parzen estimator (TPE), which allows for the results from previous iterations to be considered, in order to identify the most promising region of conditions, thereby increasing the optimization efficiency. The movement of multiphase fluid inside the pipeline system (also in the borehole) must be calculated to solve the process optimization problem. The optimization module was integrated into the hydraulic and unsteady state multiphase flow calculations inside the well and the pipeline. The platform created allows for the process conditions at gas condensate fields to be identified via the use of numerical methods. The proposed optimization algorithm was tested in delivering the task of optimizing the process conditions in 13 producing wells in a part of a real gas condensate field in Western Siberia. The engineering problem of optimizing the production of gas and the gas condensate was solved as a consequence of the calculations performed.
