Diffusion models accelerate geothermal well-control optimization via reinforcement learning

Researchers have developed a new framework for optimizing geothermal well control using diffusion-surrogate reinforcement learning. This approach employs conditional diffusion models to create a surrogate environment that predicts reservoir evolution, significantly reducing the need for computationally expensive high-fidelity simulations. The diffusion surrogate, integrated with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), demonstrates competitive performance in controlling enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and mitigating operational risks.
