This is one of the most effective ways to exploit limited oil reserves more economically and efficiently. There are two steps in closed-loop reservoir management： automatic history matching and reservoir production opti- mization. Both of the steps are large-scale complicated optimization problems. This paper gives a general review of the two basic techniques in closed-loop reservoir man- agement; summarizes the applications of gradient-based algorithms, gradient-free algorithms, and artificial intelligence algorithms; analyzes the characteristics and application conditions of these optimization methods; and finally discusses the emphases and directions of future research on both automatic history matching and reservoir production optimization.展开更多

The recovery of post-consumer products associated with the use of end-of-life products is part of a context of optimization of these objectives. This recovery maximizes the use of resources from end-of-life products in a circular logic while recording the environmental footprint. This study considers a recycling strategy adapted to the need and urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by global warming. The proposed model aims to optimize the profits of the circular manufacturing strategies while minimizing operational costs (collection, sorting, recycling), transport, GHG emissions and recycling. In this paper, a compromise between the gains of CM and the costs associated with it was studied. The robustness of the designed model was tested using a case study based on real-world scenarios. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to study the impact of the emission cost on the overall objective, considering the two options currently offered to industries. The obtained results support companies to take the ecological aspect into account and integrate sustainable development into their strategic axes for their logistics supply chains.展开更多

This is thought-provoking. In recent years, closed-loop management has been widely discussed and applied in the field of health care. Methods: 780 patients hospitalized in hospitals from April 2016 to March 2017 were selected as the control group, and 820 patients hospitalized in hospitals from April 2017 to March 2018 were selected as the observation group. Patients in control group were given routine nursing management. The observation group applied the closed-loop nursing management mode, which took the time of nurses nursing patients as the main line. The content of nursing work runs through the whole nursing work flow of nurses from the beginning of nursing, the implementation of nursing process, the end of nursing and the handover, forming a closed-loop process chain, which refines and streamlines nursing work and emphasizes the whole process quality control. Results: the difference between the two nursing management modes was evaluated by comparing the nurses' awareness rate of illness, mastery rate of safety knowledge of patients or accompanying nurses, satisfaction of patients or accompanying nurses, nursing quality and incidence rate of nursing risk events. Conclusion: the application effect of closed-loop management in neurology department is better than that of routine management, which can effectively improve the nursing effect and reduce the incidence of adverse risk events, and is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

The adjoint-gradient-based methods seem to be the most efficient algorithms for closed-loop management. Due to complicated calculation and limited availability of adjoint-gradient in commercial reservoir simulators, the application of this method is still prohibited for real fields. In this paper, a simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) algorithm is proposed for reservoir closed-loop production management with the combination of a parameterization way for history matching and a co-variance matrix to smooth well controls for production optimization. By using a set of unconditional realizations, the proposed parameterization method can transform the minimization of the objective function in history matching from a higher dimension to a lower dimension, which is quite useful for large scale history matching problem. Then the SPSA algorithm minimizes the objective function iteratively to get an optimal estimate reservoir model. Based on a prior covariance matrix for production op-timization, the SPSA algorithm generates a smooth stochastic search direction which is always uphill and has a certain time correlation for well controls. The example application shows that the SPSA algorithm for closed-loop production management can decrease the geological uncertainty and provide a reasonable estimate reservoir model without the calculation of the ad-joint-gradient. Meanwhile, the well controls optimized by the alternative SPSA algorithm are fairly smooth and significantly improve the effect of waterflooding with a higher NPV and a better sweep efficiency than the reactive control strategy.展开更多
