Abstract Objectives/Scope: During the period of two years the difference between sum of daily oil flow rate measurements of each oil production well using multiphase flow meter (MPFM) and cumulative daily oil production rate measured by custody transfer meter increased overall by 5%. For some wells inaccuracy of MPFM liquid rate measurement could reach 30-50%. The main goal of this research was to improve the accuracy of multiphase flow meter production rate measurements. Methods, Procedures, Process: More than 80 oil production wells were involved in the research, more than 100 flow rate tests were carried out. Machine learning methods such as supervised learning algorithms (linear and nonlinear regressions, method of gradient descent, finite differences algorithm, etc.) have been applied coupled with Integrated production modelling tools such as PROSPER and OpenServer in order to develop a function representing correlation between MPFM parameters and flow rate error. Results, Observations, Conclusions: The difference between cumulative daily oil production rate measured by custody transfer meter and multiphase flow meters decreased to 0.5%. The solution has been officially applied at the oil field and saved USD 500K to the Company. The reliability of the function was then proved by the vendor of MPFMs. Novel/Additive Information: For the first time machine learning algorithms coupled with Integrated Production modelling tools have been used to improve the accuracy of multiphase flow meter production rate measurements.

Oil And Gas Sector

The article describes the tasks of the oil and gas sector that can be solved by machine learning algorithms. These tasks include the study of the interference of wells, the classification of wells according to their technological and geophysical characteristics, the assessment of the effectiveness of ongoing and planned geological and technical measures, the forecast of oil production for individual wells and the total oil production for a group of wells, the forecast of the base level of oil production, the forecast of reservoir pressures and mapping. For each task, the features of building machine learning models and examples of input data are described. All of the above tasks are related to regression or classification problems. Of particular interest is the issue of well placement optimisation. Such a task cannot be directly solved using a single neural network. It can be attributed to the problems of optimal control theory, which are usually solved using dynamic programming methods. A paper is considered where field management and well placement are based on a reinforcement learning algorithm with Markov chains and Bellman's optimality equation. The disadvantages of the proposed approach are revealed. To eliminate them, a new approach of reinforcement learning based on the Alpha Zero algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is best known in the field of gaming artificial intelligence, beating the world champions in chess and Go. It combines the properties of dynamic and stochastic programming. The article discusses in detail the principle of operation of the algorithm and identifies common features that make it possible to consider this algorithm as a possible promising solution for the problem of optimising the placement of a grid of wells.

Machine Learning Models

As industrial control technology continues to develop, modern industrial control is undergoing a transformation from manual control to automatic control. In this paper, we show how to evaluate and build machine learning models to predict the flow rate of the gas pipeline accurately. Compared with traditional practice by experts or rules, machine learning models rely little on the expertise of special fields and extensive physical mechanism analysis. Specifically, we devised a method that can automate the process of choosing suitable machine learning algorithms and their hyperparameters by automatically testing different machine learning algorithms on given data. Our proposed methods are used in choosing the appropriate learning algorithm and hyperparameters to build the model of the flow rate of the gas pipeline. Based on this, the model can be further used for control of the gas pipeline system. The experiments conducted on real industrial data show the feasibility of building accurate models with machine learning algorithms. The merits of our approach include (1) little dependence on the expertise of special fields and domain knowledge-based analysis; (2) easy to implement than physical models; (3) more robust to environment changes; (4) requiring much fewer computation resources when it is compared with physical models that call for complex equation solving. Moreover, our experiments also show that some simple yet powerful learning algorithms may outperform industrial control problems than those complex algorithms.

The Impact

The motion picture industry is one of the largest industries worldwide and has significant importance in the global economy. Considering the high stakes and high risks in the industry, forecast models and decision support systems are gaining importance. Several attempts have been made to estimate the theatrical performance of a movie before or at the early stages of its release. Nevertheless, these models are mostly used for predicting domestic performances and the industry still struggles to predict box office performances in overseas markets. In this study, the aim is to design a forecast model using different machine learning algorithms to estimate the theatrical success of US movies in Turkey. From various sources, a dataset of 1559 movies is constructed. Firstly, independent variables are grouped as pre-release, distributor type, and international distribution based on their characteristic. The number of attendances is discretized into three classes. Four popular machine learning algorithms, artificial neural networks, decision tree regression and gradient boosting tree and random forest are employed, and the impact of each group is observed by compared by the performance models. Then the number of target classes is increased into five and eight and results are compared with the previously developed models in the literature.

The online English teaching system has certain requirements for the intelligent scoring system, and the most difficult stage of intelligent scoring in the English test is to score the English composition through the intelligent model. In order to improve the intelligence of English composition scoring, based on machine learning algorithms, this study combines intelligent image recognition technology to improve machine learning algorithms, and proposes an improved MSER-based character candidate region extraction algorithm and a convolutional neural network-based pseudo-character region filtering algorithm. In addition, in order to verify whether the algorithm model proposed in this paper meets the requirements of the group text, that is, to verify the feasibility of the algorithm, the performance of the model proposed in this study is analyzed through design experiments. Moreover, the basic conditions for composition scoring are input into the model as a constraint model. The research results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a certain practical effect, and it can be applied to the English assessment system and the online assessment system of the homework evaluation system algorithm system.
