Summary:In this paper we describe three mixed integer multiperiod optimization models of varying complexity for the oil production planning in the wells of an oil reservoir. The problem considers fixed topology and is concerned with the decisions involving the oil production profiles and operation/shut in times of the wells in each time period. We assume nonlinear behavior for the well flowing pressure (with respect to time) while calculating the oil production ( Modern well test analysis, 2nd ed. (1998)) and consider time periods of uniform length. In order to highlight the scope of the proposed representation, we present some numerical examples, which have been solved through the GAMS modeling system ( GAMS—a user guide (1998)).
