A plurality of development scenarios is determined. At least a first well is drilled at a first location and trajectory that are common to the plurality of development scenarios. A result of the at least one first well is assessed. A first subset of development scenarios is selected from the plurality of development scenarios based at least on the result of the first well. A first sequence of subsequent wells, including at least one well, are drilled at a first sequence of subsequent locations and trajectories that are common to the first subset of development scenarios.

Adaptive resource reservoir development

Configuring well settings may include determining schedules over a mid-term horizon for well settings for all or a subset of wells in an oil field. The schedule may be generated so that a performance metric for the considered horizon is maximized. An economic metric, for example, a net present value, and production metrics, for example, cumulative oil production, are considered. Minimum acceptable short-term and long-term metrics, for example, short-term and long-term cumulative field oil production, may be included as target/constraints.
