Keywords: Gas reservoir, well, placement, optimization, hydraulic conductivity

Annotation:

A model for optimizing the process of forming rational schemes for the placement of producing wells on natural gas fields is proposed. The model is a problem of nonlinear Boolean programming and allows to place wells, taking into account not only the gas reserves and the hydraulic conductivity of each section of the reservoir, but also the experience of the designer. Examples of solving the problem are given.
