  • Abstract
    This note outlines an adaptation of some control theoretic techniques developed earlier for a search problem to derive results of computational interest for optimizing a class of petroleum drilling operations. These results are obtained by formulating the drilling operation as a multistage decision process and using a dynamic programming approach.
