Abstract

This study suggests a method to restore missing pressure data in production wells using a recurrent neural network (RNN). The use of RNNs with long short-term memory (LSTM) cells is considered to be an efficient method for predicting time series data. Pressure data measured by gauges at the bottomhole and wellhead often provide abnormal values due to various reasons such as gauge malfunction, noise, outliers, and non-operations. In this study, pre-treatment of the abnormal measurement data was carried out, and then missing wellhead pressure data were restored through the LSTM-RNN method. The applicability of the LSTM-RNN was investigated in comparison with the pressures estimated by the production well model of PipeSim.

이 연구에서는 딥러닝의 일종인 순환신경망(Recurrent Neural Network, RNN) 기법을 사용하여 생산정의 일부구간의 누락된 압력자료를 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 장단기 기억(Long Short-Term Memory, LSTM) 셀을 채택한 RNN은 시계열 데이터에 대한 예측 성능이 우수한 방법이다. 생산정의 정저와 정두에 설치된 게이지를 통해 측정된 압력자료는 게이지 오류, 노이즈, 아웃라이어, 미작동 등 다양한 원인으로 비정상적인 결과를 제공하는 경우가 빈번하다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 현장자료의 전처리를 통해 주어진 자료의 보정을 선행한 후, LSTM-RNN을 통해 누락된 정두압력을 예측하였다. 이 결과를 PipeSim을 사용하여 생산관 모델링을 통해 도출한 정두압력과 비교하여 LSTM-RNN의 적용성을 분석하였다.
