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. The cost of each well is a function of the well path and the overall complexity of the well.

L'invention porte sur un nouveau procédé qui permet de concevoir automatiquement un plan de développement multipuits en fonction d'un ensemble de cibles souterraines interprétées au préalable. Le procédé précité permet d'identifier le plan optimal en minimisant le coût total en fonction des plateformes existantes, des nouvelles plateformes nécessaires, du nombre de puits et du coût de forage de chacun des puits. Le coût de chaque puits est fonction de la trajectoire du puits et de la complexité globale du puits.
