A derivative-free methodology with local and global search for the constrained joint optimization of well locations and controls
OJ Isebor, LJ Durlofsky, D Echeverría Ciaurri - Computational …, 2014 - Springer
In oil field development, the optimal location for a new well depends on how it is to be
operated. Thus, it is generally suboptimal to treat the well location and well control …
