Abstract
One aspect includes a method for determining a drilling plan for new wells in a reservoir. The method includes categorizing the new wells into at least a first new well and a second new well, such that a drilling location for at least the first new well must be determined imminently, but a drilling location for at least the second new well can be determined at a later time. The method further includes determining potential drilling locations for the second new well, determining the drilling location for the first new well based at least in part on the determined potential drilling locations for the second new well, and outputting the drilling plan comprising the determined drilling location for the first new well and the determined potential drilling locations for the second new well.
