Abstract
One of the most critical parameters of the CO2 injection (for EOR purposes) is the Minimum Miscibility Pressure MMP. The determination of this parameter is crucial for the success of the operation. Different experimental, analytical, and statistical technics are used to predict the MMP. Nevertheless, experimental technics are costly and tedious, while correlations are used for specific reservoir conditions. Based on that, the purpose of this paper is to build machine learning models aiming to predict the MMP efficiently and in broad-based reservoir conditions. Two ML models are proposed for both pure CO2 and non-pure CO2 injection. An important amount of data collected from literature is used in this work. The ANN and SVR-GA models have shown enhanced performance comparing to existing correlations in literature for both the pure and non-pure models, with a coefficient of R2 0.98, 0.93 and 0.96, 0.93 respectively, which confirms that the proposed models are reliable and ready to use.
