摘要: In this paper we focus on investment policy problems of unconventional oil exploitation and set up a dynamic programming model to help decision makers decide how allocate the limited resources among projects maximize total expected profits from horizon. Firstly, urgency feasibility developing were introduced. Secondly, properties difficulty complexity exploiting them analyzed. Thirdly, multi-stage was developed companies select an optimal given return investment. Finally, numerical example provided by applying through backward recursion algorithm. The results demonstrate that provides effective efficient support tool for exploitation.
