One of the detrimental issues in upstream oil industry is permeability impairment in oil reservoirs. The permeability may be reduced because of scale deposition originated from injected water incompatibility with the in-situ water. To tackle this issue and monitor permeability impairment owing to scale deposition, an inventive evolutionary approach of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is utilized which is based on the bio-inspired science. This approach is optimized by various optimization algorithms which provide a high-precision decision-making process with low uncertainty associated with the interconnected weights of the developed neural network model. The constructed intelligent approaches are evaluated using extensive experimental data from the open literature. Moreover, two regression models are developed to highlight the robustness and precision of the addressed techniques. For model validation, the predictions obtained from the smart technique as well as the regression method are compared with the formation damage experimental data. Based on various performance criteria, it was obtained that the predictions from the optimized genetic algorithm have infinitesimal average relative and absolute deviation from the experimental data (< 0.1 %). The results obtained in the current research prove that implication of HGAPSO-ANN in monitoring of formation damage associated with scale deposition in porous media results in reliable estimation of permeability impairment. This can result in designing a more reliable reservoir simulation model that captures the permeability impairment due to scale deposition, hence providing thorough action plans for developing EOR technologies that may cause scale deposition-related formation damage.
