Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Bubble point pressure (Pb) is one of the most important Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) properties of any crude oil system, it is required in calculations used in production and reservoir engineering. By laboratory experiments, the PVT properties can accurately be determined. However, laboratory experiments require applying special tests on the oil samples which need to be handled with care. As alternative approaches, researchers have developed equations of state (EOS) and empirical correlations for estimating the PVT properties. However, these alternative solutions have some limitations. With the introduction of the machine learning applications in the petroleum industry, other researchers have studied the predictive power of several machine learning models for estimating Pb. One of the most commonly tested and applied modeling schemes are the artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, ANNs suffer from the ?black-box? problem and there is no direct and heuristic way of determining the importance of the input parameters in predicting the PVT properties. In the present study, a Boosted Decision Tree Regression (BDTR) predictive model with K-means clustering is built and evaluated in the estimation of Pb.
