Improved Surface-Subsurface Coupled Reservoir Simulation using Automatic PID Control Academic Article

abstract

• 2018 A PID control scheme has been developed to reduce both non-physical oscillations and computational effort in coupled surface-subsurface simulation. It is shown that the employed control scheme selects superior time steps as compared to a commercial off-the-shelf coupling software (with respect to computational efficiency). Our methods include a novel implementation of a time stepping algorithm in a PID framework. The PID controlled simulation was 297% faster than the default simulation, and incurred less than 0.5% error in production profiles. The control scheme developed can be applied to any commercial simulator where the user can select the time step, without alterations to underlying code.
