Abstract
The main goal of this thesis is to modify and apply the state-of-the-art intelligent, optimum portfolio management to the gas storage field in order to optimize the return on investment associated with well remedial operations. It continues the development of a methodology for candidate selection and stimulation design and optimization using Artificial Intelligence techniques. The project used the data of an actual gas storage field to test the results.;The project data include Well-bore, Completion, Perforation, Stimulation, Well-test and Reservoir Data. The software developed in parallel with this selection methodology includes an easy to use interface that allows the user to edit the data for a gas storage field, perform well-test analysis and use neural networks in association with Genetic optimization tool. The software ranks the well according to maximum change in skin value for a well and thus a decision to re-stimulate the well or not is made accordingly.
