Abstract

Provided are embodiments for hydrocarbon reservoir development that include the following: identifying proposed well locations within a reservoir boundary, for each location, developing a well plan by: (a) identifying layers of the reservoir located below the proposed location; (b) iteratively assessing the layers (from deepest to shallowest) to identify a deepest 'suitable' layer that is not dry, congested, or unsuitable for gas production; and (c) performing the following for the identified layer and the location: (i) determining a borehole configuration for the location; (ii) determining a completion type for the location; and (iii) determining a stimulation treatment for the location, where a well plan for the location (e.g., for use in developing the reservoir) is generated that specifies some or all of a well location, the target layer, a borehole configuration, a completion type, and a stimulation treatment that corresponds to those determined for the proposed well location.
