Studies in Computational Intelligence Intelligent Systems in Oil Field Development under Uncertainty

Description

Description ,review and table of contents of Studies in Computational Intelligence Intelligent Systems in Oil Field Development under Uncertainty : The analysis of an option to develop (set up for production) a previously delimited oil field requires investments whose costs and whose benefits depend on the alternative chosen. Some alternatives include more wells than others; others present a different geometric distribution of the wells. There are also different types of wells (vertical, directional, horizontal, multilateral, etc.) which involve different types of investments and benefits. The combination of these aspects with others, such as: platform types; production flow system; drilling speed (rig availability); lifting method (gas lift, centrifugal pumping, etc.), oil recovery method, etc., makes this a complex optimization problem.
