A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ESTIMATION OF GAS RESERVOIR PARAMETERS WITH USE OF OPTIMAL CONTROL THEORY

Abstract

Most of authors (1-7) have used discontinious methods based on
trial and error procedures for determination of optimum distribution
of kH and ?H. Optimal control theory has not been used for gas reservoirs.
Hence, in this paper optimal control theory is utilized for
mathematical simulation of gas reservoir and optimum distributions
of kH and ?H are presented. One of themain advantages of this new
model is generation of a continious system which does not require trial and error calculation.
