The Use of Genetic Algorithms in Well Placement Optimization SPE 69439 - Dallas, Texas Society of Petroleum Engineers 2001 - Montes, Guillermo .
This paper is centered in the optimization of well placement using Genetic Algorithms. A Simple Genetic Algorithm program has been developed and it has been used to optimize well placement in two case studies. The effects of different internal parameters on the algorithm performance have been analyzed and a base case configuration suggested. Future modifications are analyzed.
