Abstract

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for performing well placement and configuration. Two-dimensional (2D) target entry (TE) points are generated in an area of interest (AOI) for wells to be drilled in an oil reservoir, where the 2D TE points are positioned according to a defined well length resolution. A single lateral is designed for each well using the 2D TE points, where each single lateral is designed with a different length, completion zone, azimuth, and orientation. Using the single laterals, a dynamic reservoir simulation is executed for the wells to be drilled in the oil reservoir, including rotating between different three-dimensional (3D) configurations for each 2D TE. A 3D configuration for each 2D TE is selected for each lateral and based on executing the dynamic reservoir simulation.
