Neural-network support for mature-field water injection
Lukoil used neural networks to adjust water injection at mature oilfields
Problem
Mature fields incurred operating costs from unproductive fluid extraction and water injection. Engineers needed to select suitable injection settings.
Approach
Lukoil-Perm began implementing its mature-field management module in 2022. Neural networks analyzed operating data and helped specialists choose injection regimes. Lukoil reported use across fields in several Russian production regions.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The models supported engineers' operating decisions. Lukoil reported lower unproductive fluid handling without quantifying the savings.
