This paper presents a review of history matching and oil field development optimization techniques with a focus on optimization algorithms. History matching algorithms are reviewed as a precursor to production optimization algorithms. Techniques for history matching and production optimization are reviewed including global and local methods. Well placement, well control, and combined well placement-control optimization using both secondary and tertiary oil production techniques are considered. Secondary and tertiary recovery techniques are commonly referred to as waterflooding and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), respectively. Benchmark models for comparison of methods are summarized while other applications of methods are discussed throughout. No single optimization method is found to be universally superior. Key areas of future work are combining optimization methods and integrating multiple optimization processes. Current challenges and future research opportunities for improved model validation and large scale optimization algorithms are also discussed.

A thud high on the side of your RV is probably something that flies, like a small owl or a bat catching a bug that's been attracted to the light at your windows. Could be an elk or a raccoon, or it could be a bear, mountain lion, coyote, wolf, person or something else potentially dangerous.

•Oral nutrition is the most common mode of nutrition across the continuum of care.•Nutrition-affecting symptoms are experienced by most patients.•Length of stay a rehabilitation setting is longer than intensive care unit or acute ward stay.•Less dietetic intervention occurred in the rehabilitation setting. Extended duration of nutrition interventions in critical illness is a plausible mechanism of benefit and of interest to inform future research. The aim of this study was to describe nutrition processes of care from intensive care unit (ICU) admission to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. This was a single-center retrospective study conducted at a health care network in Melbourne, Australia. Adult patients in the ICU >48 h and discharged to inpatient rehabilitation within 28 d were included. Dietitian assessment data and nutrition impacting symptoms were collected until day 28. Data are presented as n (%), mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). Fifty patients were included. Of the 50 patients, 28 were men (56%). Patients were 65 ± 19 y of age with an Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II score 15.5 ± 5.2. ICU length of stay (LOS) was 3 d (3–6), acute ward LOS was 10 d (7–14), and rehabilitation LOS was 17 d (8–37). Patients assessed by a dietitian and days to assessment in ICU, acute ward, and rehabilitation were 43 (86%) and 1 (0–1); 42 (84%) and 1 (1–3), and 32 (64%) and 2 (1–4) d, respectively. Oral nutrition was the most common mode: 40 (80%) in the ICU and 48 (96%) on the acute ward and rehabilitation. There was at least one nutrition impacting symptom reported in 44 patients (88%). Rehabilitation LOS was longer than in the ICU or acute wards, yet patients in rehabilitation were assessed the least by a dietitian and time to assessment was longest. Symptoms that impact nutrition intake were common; nutrition interventions beyond the acute care setting in critical illness need investigation.
