Abstract

The decision-making process in oil fields includes several steps, and the definition of agood production strategy is of great relevance. Reservoir engineers use a large number ofsimulations in this process, and computational time is a constraint in the definition of theproduction strategy. The objective of this research is to develop a methodology to obtain multi-objective quality production strategies considering uncertainties. Our research will focus on position and number of wells.
