The Application of Cellular Automata in the “Digital Oilfield” XU Bang-hai1,2; HE Ying3; LIU Xiao-ting4 (1.School of Computer Science and Technology,Ludong University,Yantai 264025,China; 2.Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an 710072, China;3.Department of Electric Engineering, Xinjiang Polytechnical College, Urumqi 830091,China;4.Editorial Office of the School Journal, Ludong University, Yantai 264025,China) Abstract: The purpose of “Digital oilfield” is to design a directive frame to the integrated information systems that cover all of the business in oilfield, as a guide for building a information oilfield in the future. Being a complicated open system, it suits to be studied using a cellular automata model. This paper presents it’s origination and some essential theories, and explores the application of cellular automata in “Digital oilfield”. Additionally, the complexity of cellular automata is analyzed.
