The Application of Python Programming Language in the Automation of a Mathematical Model for Well Trajectory Selection Optimisation for a Given Field
Abstract: Directional drilling plays a major role in the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. There are three basic trajectories that a well may follow. They include; Build-and-Hold, Build-Hold-andDrop and Continuous-Build Trajectories. The selection of a trajectory is usually based on experience/trial and error approach and may be associated with errors. This work has therefore developed a mathematical model that optimised the automatic selection of a well trajectory type for a given …
