Abstract

Fossil fuel consumption continues to increase every year and the possibility to find new reserves will be increasingly difficult. It can be estimated that if the current rate of consumption and production continues, oil reserves will be depleted in 50 years. The increasing difficulty in finding new oil fields causes oil companies to try to increase the Recovery Factor value to maintain the economic level of oil. To increase the RF value, an EOR operation is carried out which can produce about more than 50% to 80% OOIP. To get the optimal recovery value, it is necessary to optimize the CO₂ EOR operating condition variables, including mass flow rate of CO₂ injection, CO₂ injection temperature, and CO₂ injection pressure. The modeling of the CO₂ EOR operating pressure gradient in production and injection wells uses the Begg’s-Brill method, while the Darcy equation for reservoirs uses the Darcy equation. For modeling the temperature gradient on the production well, injection well, and reservoir using the heat transfer equation. Based on the optimization results using Genetic Algorithm, the net profit increased from 1,458.02 USD/day to 9,510.33 USD/day. While the optimization results using the Killer Whale Algorithm get an increase in net profit from 1,458.02 USD/day to 9,509.71 USD/day.
