Abstract
We recently proposed to model location and sizing of offshore platform s for oil exploration and production as a multicapacitated plant locat ion problem. We show that an adequate choice of coefficients allows th e use of this model for simultaneous location, sizing of platforms and selection of wells to be drilled. Moreover, applying it several times in sequence allows minimization of a cost per barrel of oil produced criterion.
