  • Geometrical optimization of multi-well trajectories
    Publication number: 20060151214
    Abstract: A novel method is presented to automatically design a multi-well development plan given a set of previously interpreted subsurface targets. This method identifies the optimal plan by minimizing the total cost as a function of existing and required new platforms, the number of wells, and the drilling cost of each of the wells.
