    Publication number: 20180284311
    Abstract: One aspect includes a method for determining a drilling plan for a plurality of new wells in a reservoir. The method comprises categorizing the plurality of new wells into at least a first new well and at a second new well, such that a drilling location for at least the first new well must be determined imminently, but a drilling location for at least the second new well can be determined at a later time. The method further comprises determining a plurality of potential drilling locations for the second new well, determining the drilling location for the first new well based at least in part on the determined plurality of potential drilling locations for the second new well, and outputting the drilling plan comprising the determined drilling location for the first new well and the determined plurality of potential drilling locations for the second new well.
