A derivative-free methodology with local and global search for the constrained joint optimization of well locations and controls (2014, methodology): “Gradient-based approaches have also been applied for these problems [39, 45, 46], though these methods may get trapped in relatively poor local optima.”
Joint optimization of oil well placement and controls (2012, background): “The work introduced in [37], and later enhanced in [41] and [18], aims primarily at well placement, and”
Joint optimization of well placement and control for nonconventional well types (2014, methodology): “Gradient-based optimization approaches have been successfully adapted to the well placement problem in some cases as well (Zandvliet et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2010).”
