Abstract

The complexity of optimizing well location poses a major challenge. Past studies have used classical and non-classical methods to solve this problem. However, the most metaheuristic techniques, which we consider to be the most effective algorithms in the field, present local optimization problems. This paper studies the application of the novel bat algorithm in finding the position of well locations to provide better net profit. It also provides a comparative study of the proposed method and the generally established methods that have been practiced to optimize well locations. The results of the study show that the novel bat optimization algorithm is effective compared to other existing technologies
