The energy consumption issue of water injection systems has always been a key focus of energy conservation and consumption reduction in oilfield production. Optimizing the operational schemes of the water injection system is of great significance for achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction goals in oilfields. This article establishes a mathematical model for optimizing the operating parameters of oilfield water injection systems, with the operating parameters of water injection pumps as design variables and the objective function of minimizing water injection energy consumption. In the model, multiple constraints such as the balance of supply and demand of water within the station, pump flow rate, and injection well pressure are considered. Using the four defensive behaviors of the Crested Porcupine Optimizer (CPO) to optimize the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm, a Multi-Mechanism Threat Response Strategy for Dynamic Parameter Adjustment is proposed to form a Hybrid Particle Swarm–Crested Porcupine Algorithm (PSCPA). Compared with the other nine algorithms, the PSCPA has better solving efficiency. Applying this method to a practical case of an old oilfield, the optimized water injection system scheme reduced power consumption by 11,719.23 KWh/d, increased the average pump efficiency of the system by 9.3%, and reduced system unit consumption by 0.37 KWh/d. Therefore, this algorithm has good practicality for optimizing the operation of large-scale and highly sensitive water injection systems.

Modern energy internets and large-scale industrial systems are becoming increasingly complex. Consequently, the rapid response capability of energy infrastructure during sudden failures has become a core element to ensure the stable operation of the social economy. Emergency repair path planning (ERPP) is a complex nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem. It is characterized by dynamic uncertainties, such as fluctuating task durations and variable traffic accessibility. This paper proposes a cross-regional emergency repair path planning (CR-ERPP) optimization model considering dynamic path conditions. The model takes into account jurisdiction ownership, cross-regional dispatch costs, path weights (congestion coefficient, grade coefficient, quality coefficient) and accident risk levels. The primary objective of this model is to minimize the total repair cost. Furthermore, an Adaptive Bitterling Fish Optimization with Evolutionary Game Theory (ABFO-EGT) is developed. It introduces adaptive mechanisms, evolutionary game theory, and a symmetric mutation strategy. These enhancements are designed to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional swarm intelligence algorithms, namely unbalanced search behavior and premature convergence to local optima. Performance analysis demonstrates that the ABFO-EGT algorithm exhibits superior convergence stability and global search capability. Case study results show that the proposed method significantly reduces the total repair cost. Specifically, the cost is reduced by 33.2% compared to manual decision-making, 27.6% compared to the GWO algorithm, and 9.1% compared to both the ACO and PSO algorithms. This study provides an efficient and reliable decision support tool for emergency management of large-scale energy systems.
