Machine-Learning-Based Optimization of Oil-Well Power-Consumption Modes
摘要
An innovative approach is presented to optimizing the power consumption of oil wells equipped with submersible centrifugal pumps based on machine-learning methods. A comprehensive system combining simulation modeling and neural-network algorithms is proposed for predicting and managing energy consumption, taking into account the process and geological-well parameters. A mathematical model simulating well power consumption is developed in the SimInTech software environment. The model has an error of 2.8% and takes into account the interrelationships of parameters such as flow rate, dynamic liquid level, buffer pressure, and power-grid frequency, enabling analysis of energy consumption in various operating modes. A neural-network model for predicting and optimizing power consumption, trained using mathematical modeling data, was developed. A system for managing oil-well energy profiles with two neural-network controllers is proposed. A frequency controller for continuous operation ensures maintaining a specified flow rate with minimal energy consumption. A flow rate controller for periodic operation reduces equivalent power consumption by optimizing pumping-unit utilization. The proposed approaches are consistent with the digitalization strategy of the oil and gas industry and can be used to develop and improve automated intelligent oil-well control systems to reduce energy costs and energy-system maintenance at oil- and gas-production facilities.
