Optimizing the trajectory of directional wellbores is essential to minimize drilling costs and
the impacts of potential drilling problems. It poses multi-objective optimization challenges …

The family of location and scale mixtures of Gaussians has the ability to generate a number
of flexible distributional forms. The family nests as particular cases several important …

We review three derivative-free methods developed for uncertainty estimation of non-linear
error propagation, namely, MC (Monte Carlo), SUT (scaled unscented transformation), and …

The ultimate goal of petroleum industry is to perform their routine operations with minimal
risks. Nevertheless, the possibilities of jeopardies for instance; blowout of a well always …

Abstract At the Cerro Verde district in southern Peru, granodiorite porphyry stocks formed
two adjacent porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits that collectively form one of the largest …
