Abstract
In order to improve the accuracy of hydraulic model for the oilfield water injection network, the model need to
be calibrated, so the method of sensitivity analysis was proposed to calibrate pipe friction coefficient in this article. when
the node flow and the node pressure were known, the node pressure which affected by the change of the pipe friction
coefficient was analyzed, then the pipes of smaller sensitivity were given experience friction value, other pipe friction
coefficient was calibrated by the node equations. The method of sensitivity analysis reduced the number of corrected
variables and improved the corrected speed, finally the example showed that the corrected node pressure was consistent
with the actual node pressure by the method of sensitivity analysis, and illustrated that the method was feasible.
