  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Energy Systems ((ENERGY))

Abstract

This chapter discusses various attempts to apply mathematical programming tools and techniques in field development planning for the Norwegian continental shelf. The paper has a form of a (non-complete) survey, with the aim of discussing and presenting various attempts, both within deterministic and stochastic modelling.
