Abstract

The 4IR technology has assumed critical importance in the oil and gas industry, enabling automation at an unprecedented level. Advanced algorithms are deployed in enhancing production forecast and maximize sweep efficiency. A novel sparsity-based reinforcement learning algorithm, utilizing a surface response model approach, was developed for the estimation of hydrocarbon saturation in the interwell region. Application of the novel algorithms on a realistic reservoir box model exhibited strong performance in the estimation of the interwell saturation as well as the quantification of uncertainty. The results outline the broader application of the framework for interwell saturation mapping.
