Zusammenfassung:This paper presents some key operational challenges in the upstream petroleum industries in which advanced control and model-based optimization has or may have a significant impact. A broad array of distinct applications are discussed and opportunities for process control methods are identified. This includes stabilizing control on an individual well level, model-based optimization for production allocation and long term recovery control.
