Optimisation of a Gas-Lifted System with Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

A gas-lifted system in a mature oil well can experience casing-heading instability, which reduces the mean oil production and it is not healthy for the downstream equipment. This instability was removed by implementing a terminal equality-constrained nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) having...
