Abstract
In the continental shelf off the coast of Norway, there are several petroleum fields containinga mixture of oil and gas. A multiperiod mixed integer programming model for investmentplanning for these fields has been used by The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate for morethan fifteen years. In practical use, the production from each field has mostly been declaredto follow profiles given by the user, but the user may also declare that the production canvary from the given profile. This paper describes the model and comments on some of thereal problems the model has been used to analyze and the modeling process involved.
