Robust Extremum Seeking Control with application to Gas Lifted Oil Wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classical extremum seeking control (ESC), when applied to systems with disturbances, can be subject to large deviations during transients caused by abrupt changes in the disturbances. In oil and gas production applications, such deviations can make ESC impractical. This paper presents a simple yet practical extension to the classical gradient-based extremum seeking control to make it robust to such disturbances, by removing the effect of the disturbance with a priori information of the disturbance model. Modelling and robustness of the disturbance models are discussed. The proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation-based study on gas lift optimization of a single well in oil and gas production.

Control structure design for stabilizing unstable gas-lift oil wells
Active control of the production choke valve is the recommended solution to prevent casing-heading instability in gas-lifted oil wells. Focus of this work is to find a simple yet robust control structure for stabilization of the system. In order to find suitable control variables, a controllability analysis of the system with different candidate control variables and two alternative manipulated...
متن کاملDeveloping a Novel Temperature Model in Gas Lifted Wells to Enhance the Gas Lift Design
In the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. The produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. All the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. Also g...
متن کاملOptimization of lift gas allocation in a gas lifted oil field as non-linear optimization problem
Proper allocation and distribution of lift gas is necessary for maximizing total oil production from a eld with gas lifted oil wells. When the supply of the lift gas is limited, the total available gas should be optimally distributed among the oil wells of the eld such that the total production of oil from the eld is maximized. This paper describes a non-linear optimization problem with constra...
متن کاملStabilization of Gas Lifted Wells Based on State Estimation
This paper treats stabilization of multiphase flow in a gas lifted oil well. Two different controllers are investigated, PI control using the estimated downhole pressure in the well, and nonlinear model based control of the total mass in the system. Both control structures rely on the use of a state estimator, and are able to stabilize the well flow with or without a downhole pressure measureme...
متن کاملStabilization of Gas Lifted Wells
Increased production from gas lifted oil wells can be achieved by use of feedback control. Without control the well system may have large oscillations in the flow rate or stabilize itself at a non-optimal production point. These non-optimal production conditions give lower production and/or poor oil/water downstream separation. The study extends the newly introduced approach for controlling gas...
