Fast and Accurate Reservoir Modeling: Genetic Algorithm versus DIRECT Method
In this paper, two very different optimization
algorithms, Genetic and DIRECT algorithms, are used to history
match a bottomhole pressure response for a reservoir with wellbore
storage and skin with the best possible analytical model. No initial
guesses are available for reservoir parameters. The results show that
the matching process is much faster and more accurate for DIRECT
method in comparison with Genetic algorithm. It is furthermore
concluded that the DIRECT algorithm does not need any initial
guesses, whereas Genetic algorithm needs to be tuned according to
initial guesses.
