Analysis of the behavior of the Ding well model for off-centered wells and its impact on gradient-based well location optimization

The computer assisted optimization of well locations in reservoirs can result in a better planning of the reservoir development and non-trivial optimal locations can be found. Currently most optimizers use gradient-free methods which require significant computing capacity. Especially when considering decision making under uncertainty there is a...

Well Trajectory Optimization

Delineating the well placement and trajectory of production or injection wells is an important step of any field development program. Drilling a well is an expensive process in terms of money, time and effort invested. Being an expensive item, wells must be carefully studied before being drilled. In order to make this process more efficient,...
