10 Particle Swam Optimization (PSO) A swarm intellegence algorithm (Kennedy & Eberhart,1995). Particles are points in parameter space. Particles move based on their own experience and that of the swarm. PSO equations v wv c r p x c r g x k 1 k best k k k i i 1 1 i i 2 2 best i x x v k 1 k k 1 i i i r 1, r 2 are random vectors w is the inertial weight c 1, c 2 are the cognition and social acceleration components

11 Obj 2 Dominance and Pareto Optimality Solution x 1 dominates solution x 2, if : 1. x 1 is no worse than x 2 in all objectives, and 2. x 1 is strictly better than x 2 in at least one objective Pareto front Obj 1 Image of Pareto optimal set in objective space

12 MO Particle Swam Optimization (PSO) MOPSO equations v wv c r p x c r g x k 1 k best k k k i i 1 1 i i 2 2 best i x x v k 1 k k 1 i i i r 1, r 2 are random vectors w is the inertial weight c 1, c 2 are the cognition and social acceleration components Pbest and Gbest now sampled from Pareto archive

13 Why Use Multi-Objective? Sum of objectives limited exploration of Pareto front Example minimising two objectives Objective sum Multi-Objective Figure from Hajizadeh, PhD Thesis (Chapter 6, Figure12), Heriot-Watt, 2011

36 Optimisation Multi-Objective Maximise cumulative oil (FOPT) Minimise maximum water rate (FWPR) Optimisation variables Well locations (16 variables i, j for each well) Injection well rates

37 Field Development Optimisation (Scapa)

38 Optimise Field Development Plan 77 models 10% Original MSc development plan (4 injectors, 4 producers) Current Scapa production 55%

39 Scapa: Optimise Mid-Life Infill Wells Trade-off : 1.5 bbls oil in year 10 for 1 bbl oil in year 2

40 Optimisation Under Uncertainty PUNQ-S3 Multiple HM models Optimise infill wells

41 Mean Cumulative Oil Optimisation Under Uncertainty Uncertainty in Cumulative Oil

42 Summary History Matching Multi-objective may increase convergence speed, but not always Forecasting Multi-objective provides greater coverage of pareto front; can lead to better forecasts Optimisation Explore the full range of trade-offs Can include uncertainty
