Predicting the oil well production is very important and also quite a complex mission for the petroleum engineering. Due to its complexity, the previous empirical methods could not perform well for different kind of wells, and intelligent methods are applied to solve this problem. In this paper the multi expression programming (MEP) method has been employed to build the prediction model for oil well production, combined with the phase space reconstruction technique. The MEP has shown a better performance than the back propagation networks, gene expression programming method and the Arps decline model in the experiments, and it has also been shown that the optimal state of the MEP could be easily obtained, which could overcome the over-fitting.

ABSTRACT Canadian Marine Drilling (Canmar), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dome Petroleum Ltd., is conducting exploratory drilling in the Beaufort Sea with the objective of on-stream production by the mid-1980s. If a major oil well blow-out should occur, and the probability of such an occurrence is very small, (Bercha, 1977), oil would be released to the surface of the sea until a relief well could be drilled or the well sealed itself. The relief well could be drilled during the same drill season, or, in the worst case, it might not be completed until the following year. Therefore, Dome could be faced with the problem of cleaning up an oil spill during open-water, freeze-up, and winter or spring break-up conditions. To this end, Dome has developed a contingency plan, based on, and updated according to, its ongoing research and development programs to deal with an oil spill during each of the above-mentioned periods of time. To date, Dome has invested approximately $10 million in its research and development programs. This paper deals with Dome's research and development in oil spill countermeasures for its present ongoing exploration activities and its future production and transportation systems.

In the petroleum industry, it is common practice to do survey well liquid level for monitoring well in the purpose of evaluation well production capacity, for setting performance of downhole pump. Here we proposed liquid level survey using acoustic well sounder (echosounder) equipment. The reading of liquid level in the oil well is contained noises due to some physical and mechanical condition. An idea to handle large scattered field data contains noises is smoothness method by Tikhonov regularization.Liquid level survey is set up under shunt in well condition, to clearly monitoring liquid level rises in the well column. So, we have acquired field data reading. Beside the field data reading using echosounder tool, we also need to calculate expected liquid level, because that noises factor in the field data. The equation is generated to define calculation of liquid level increases in the well column as a function of time. The initial condition of started liquid column height h0 and well production rate Q0 at t=0 is definite. We build the Volterra integral equation of the 1st kind for this calculation purpose.The ill-posed problem performs in the data, needs the solution for smoothness. Tikhonov regularization (Least Squared problem) has handling this problem. Some value of regularization parameter were employed to the calculation.This paper is an innovative idea to maximum utilization of fluid level data monitoring in the well, while the acquired data is scattered or contains error. After smoothness of the data, qualified model solution curve is fully advantage for well interpretation.

The process of extracting oil and gas resources, processing them and delivering them to the final target represents a vital process in oil industry. It depends on many factors among which a set of pumps and associated equipment. In this study, an analysis of oil well production extracted from the earth's interior to the surface is performed. Oil pumps used for lifting oil products from wells are investigated. The advantages of an oil two-rotor submersible pump over centrifugal and sucker rod pumps are noted.
