Project description: This project examines introducing a problem-specific Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimal well placement in oil fields. The outcome of this project is a framework that improves the convergence rate to the optimal solution, while maintianing a relativly less computational cost.
Funding: Schlumberger
Development Methods: Genetic Algorithm, Artificial Neural Network, Similarity Measures
Development Tools: MATLAB (Including: GUI design), Eclipse Reservoir Simulator
