Abstract

The development of an offshore deepwater oilfield is a complex and risky task. One core problem in this project is the selection of a production system that maximizes oil recovery and minimizes investment and operational costs while meeting external, economic, environmental, societal and technological demands under a scenario of uncertainties. Although several studies address this problem in the literature, the proposed methods are usually complex and tailored specifically for their intended specific application, curbing its wide application. Here, we propose in beyond, a simple and effective fuzzy decision-making method that considers input uncertainties and determines the best alternative in a rational manner. By comparing the results obtained with previous studies and real scenarios, we conclude that our method can obtain the best solution in a straightforward way and in situations where other methods cannot.
