... Abstract Optimizing well locations for a green field is critical to mitigate development risks. Performing such workflows with reservoir simulations is very challenging due to the huge computational cost. Proxy models can instead provide accurate estimates at a fraction of the computing time...

... model. In reservoir engineering, each forward evaluation (reservoir simulation) can take hours, direct application of MCMC is too computationally expensive in most real-world applications. In reservoir simulation applications, sampling is usually performed indirectly via proxies, which replace each...

... required. These simulations can be expensive, especially for large and complex reservoir models. Proxies can be used to efficiently estimate the objective function value for new scenarios and can act to reduce the number of simulations required. Thus they can be very useful for speeding up field...
