  • UPPER CONFIDENCE BOUND ALGORITHM FOR OILFIELD LOGIC
    Publication number: 20240152844
    Abstract: Various computer-implemented methods for utilizing a modified upper confidence bound (UCB) in an agent-simulator environment in well placement planning for oil fields are disclosed herein. A set of well placement sequences for placing well in a geographical region may be received, where each well placement sequent defines a sequence of multiple oil wells to be placed within the geographical region. A computer-implemented simulation may be executed on each of the well placement sequences to determine, for each of the well placement sequences, a reward based upon a calculated hydrocarbon recovery and a cost of the calculated hydrocarbon recovery. The well placement sequences may be iteratively selected for the computer-implemented simulations using the modified UCB algorithm and based upon the rewards determined for each of the plurality of well placement sequences.
