Application of D-optimal Design for Modeling and Optimization of Operation Conditions in SAGD Process

초록

The aim of this research is to apply experimental design methodology for the optimization and sensitivity analysis of operating parameters on the steam-assisted gravity drainage process. These experiments, consisting of 26 cases, are determined by the D-optimal design. A response surface method was used to maximize net present value, which was obtained at 262.42 $mm for an optimal operation condition. The predicted values matched the experimental values reasonably well with R-2 of 0.987 and Q(2) of 0.902 for the NPV response.
