Application of Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA) For Optimization of Gas Allocation to a Group of Wells in Gas Lift in One of the Iranian Oil Field

In this work a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) was introduced to allocate optimum amount of gas to a group of wells in gas lift in the case of availability limited amount of gas. By comparing the result of the proposed HGA with those of previous works in a field with 6 wells, the ability of the proposed HGA was tested. Then for an Iranian southern west oil field with 9 wells, under conditions that different amounts of gas are available, the gas allocated to the wells.
