Evaluation of bottomhole pressure correlations for Yemeni oil fields

Abstract EN

The objective of this study is to compare the validity of correlations for estimating bottomhole pressure of Yemeni fields.

The prediction was performed using published and unpublished data set collected from Yemeni oil fields.

The calculations were performed for different models.

Artificial neural network model was developed.

The statistical analysis was performed by using Excel sheet.

Statistical parameters and graphical tools have been used to compare the accuracy and performance of the correlations and model.

Results obtained showed that the Mukherjee and Brill Empirical correlation is the best among available empirical correlations.

The results also indicate that the developed ANN model outperforms all tested empirical correlations.-
