Methods and automated processes for determining oil well operating parameters using integrated multivariate optimization algorithms and simulation.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining oil well operating parameters using an automated data processing system, in which a computer system establishes a bidirectional data connection between an electronic spreadsheet, the OpenServer protocol, and the Prosper oil well simulation software via a COM (Component Object Model) interface to automate the process of data synchronization, simulation, and analysis of oil well operation. The method includes the following main steps: (i) creating an input dataset by loading the oil well model, identifying technical parameter labels on the electronic spreadsheet, and establishing a data mapping table and data access sequence;(ii) Perform dynamic data mapping to synchronize technical data groups, including via fluid properties data (Pressure-Volume-Temperature - PVT), well offset survey data, well completion data, via flow performance relationship (IPR) data, and vertical lift performance (VLP) data, thereby creating a synchronized operational dataset; (iii) Process and adjust the physical parameters of the oil well through a computer system and Prosper software to determine the optimal operating parameters based on a comparison between simulation data and actual production data; (iv) Decode post-simulation data to convert raw data into digital data and reconstruct the IPR and VLP curves; (v) Restructure and record data onto an electronic spreadsheet through an automatic cell area processing mechanism and graph data synchronization;and (vi) perform automated sensitivity analysis by simulating a series of operating scenarios to assess the influence of parameters on oil well production characteristics. The method under this invention achieves technical efficiency by automating the processing and synchronization of technical data between the electronic spreadsheet and the Prosper simulation software, shortening processing time, improving the accuracy and consistency of simulation results, reducing data entry errors, and ensuring data integrity. Simultaneously, the solution supports large-scale analysis deployment, standardizes oil well operation procedures, and enhances production efficiency through an automated technical data connection and processing mechanism.
