A Genetic Algorithm Integrated with Monte Carlo Simulation for the Field Layout Design Problem

Oil and gas production is moving deeper and further offshore as energy companies seek new sources, making the field layout design problem even more important. Although many optimization models are presented in the revised literature, they do not properly consider the uncertainties in well deliverabi...
