This paper describes a system for locating oil rigs based on a general location algorithm. The problem consists in maximizing the net present revenue value of the project arbitrating discharge values for each of the production wells involved. Due to the high degree of uncertainty in determining the initial flow rate of each well it is assumed a percentage that will establish minimum and maximum levels of flow, trying to correct possible errors related to the initial collection and interpretation of data. In addition, a random factor is introduced when calculating the initial flow in order to increase reliability in determining the possible location of the platform. From these initial flow rates and also the flow over the lifetime established for the wells, the net present revenue value of each well and consequently the percentage of participation of these wells in proximity to the platform will be calculated. This percentage represents the weight of each well in determining the final location of the oil platform. The surface of the seabed is assumed similar to a plan, so no barriers are considered on the links between the various wells and the platform. A sample problem is solved to test the system described.
