Well Maintenance Scheduling Using Dynamic Programming Approach: Influence Diagram

Abstract

Petroleum-producing wells sometimes facing production problem. These problems can be solved by deploying a Maintenance fleet that requires 2 days of travel and 3 days of repair time for the well. With 80 wells that are probabilistically appearance of problem, we need a Mathematical model that can minimize idle time of the well, in the condition of not Produce any. Trought this research, obtained problem solving formulation using the Dynamic Programming approach. The first step of this research are building an influence diagram.
