Abstract
A system, method and program product for generating an optimal field development plan (FDP) for the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs when the available data of the reservoir is limited. A tree is generated starting from a root node wherein each node represents a decision or an observation of the field. The tree generation includes a specific manner of combining a search and a rollout process for exploring paths providing candidates of field development plans (FDP) and adding new nodes to the tree. The method reduces drastically the computational cost providing an affordable manner of estimating an optimal field development plan (FDP) before carrying out the exploitation of the reservoir.
