Title: Modeling and optimizing a gas--water reservoir

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6775354· OSTI ID:6775354

Results of modeling and optimizing a gas-water reservoir with variable production rate and enhanced recovery with waterflooding are presented. A dynamic programming approach leads to a conjecture as to the optimal production strategy. An analytical proof of this conjecture is then obtained.
