In this work we solve the optimal waterflooding management problem using as design variables the rates allocated to each injector and producer well under different operational conditions. The duration of each control cycle may also be optimally controlled. The objective function is the net present value. As the cost of numerical simulation can be very high it is generally not feasible to couple the...
