Abstract |
The paper presents a method for the optimal design of oil production platforms and the systematic evaluation of the economic production capacity of a main field with an adjacent satellite field. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming formulation. Continuou variables represent individual well, jacket and topsides costs. Binary variables are used to select individual wells within a defined field grid. The mathematical formulation is concise and efficient. Current work has investigated the case of a satellite field being produced over an existing platform at a main field. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
